Biden on Climate

Guest: Brigham Daniels, Professor of Law, Brigham Young University Joe Biden promises that his first task in office will be to reinstate the US as part of the Paris Climate Agreement. But meeting the requirements of that agreement will require a major reduction in carbon emissions from all aspects of America’s economy, and Biden may not have the votes in Congress to get big climate change laws passed. There’s a lot the President can do without Congress, though–and President-elect Biden’s approach to climate change is shaping up to be even more aggressive than his former boss President Obama.
