Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/joebiden.com\/climate-plan\/\">promised<\/a> to \u201clead the world in addressing the climate emergency\u201d and it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s trying. But, back home, congressional negotiations have cut support for clean energy. And with only a year to go before crucial midterm elections, the best chance to pass comprehensive climate policy in twelve years may be slipping away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden\u2019s Build Back Better plan, as initially envisaged, was set to be a gigantic investment in 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century infrastructure across the United States. At the heart of it was a plan to clean up US energy \u2013 the Clean Energy Performance Program (CEPP).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"73643\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>A majority of voters <a href=\"https:\/\/climatenexus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Climate-Nexus-National-Poll-2021-Methane-Infrastructure-Toplines.pdf\">support the clean energy policies<\/a> and Build Back Better. But Democrats have the thinnest possible margin in the Senate. This has amplified the power of a few dissenters in the ranks, including Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has reportedly threatened to leave the party if clean energy provisions aren\u2019t removed. Manchin, from a Trump-voting, coal-producing state, also benefits from a family-owned coal brokerage and has little incentive to change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question now is not whether Build Back Better will be watered down, but by how much. And, if it is, can the US hit its climate targets? An <a href=\"https:\/\/rhg.com\/research\/us-climate-policy-2030\/\">analysis<\/a> from consulting firm Rhodium suggests it is possible, though this would require faster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volts.wtf\/p\/can-the-us-reach-bidens-climate-goal\">annual <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volts.wtf\/p\/can-the-us-reach-bidens-climate-goal\">cuts in emissions<\/a> than have ever happened before, outside of an economic recession.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just before departing for <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/what-is-cop26-this-years-critical-climate-talks-explained\/\">Glasgow<\/a>, President Biden seemed to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/entry\/biden-climate-bill_n_617af6f8e4b010d9331c0092\">struck a deal<\/a> with his senators, which included proposals for US$550 billion in climate spending, but removed the CEPP. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A smaller infrastructure bill, which includes some support for clean energy and electric vehicles is still likely to pass. A mixture of executive actions and regulations can also make a substantial dent in emissions and don\u2019t require congressional approval \u2013 starting with tightening fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, and following up an important <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/system\/files\/261\/FSOC-Climate-Report.pdf\">new climate report from the Treasury<\/a> by implementing a series of financial regulations that may ultimately limit lending to fossil fuels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-repairing-the-damage\">Repairing the damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the international stage the US has committed to substantially increase international climate finance, though its pledge of US$11.4 billion a year falls well short when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wri.org\/insights\/developed-countries-contributions-climate-finance-goal\">compared to other countries<\/a>, in terms of the US\u2019s economic size and greenhouse gas emissions. Biden\u2019s government has also been a driving force behind the formation of the Global Methane Pledge, which commits countries to slash methane emissions 30% by 2030. Methane\u2019s heat-trapping impact is much more powerful than carbon dioxide but also much shorter-lived. Many of these emissions, at least in the US oil and gas sector, could be dealt with relatively simply using existing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US leverage on climate, among a host of other diplomatic and trade issues, has been sharply reduced after the disastrous presidency of Donald Trump. Inconsistent and incomplete support for developing countries on vaccines and the as yet unfunded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/06\/12\/fact-sheet-president-biden-and-g7-leaders-launch-build-back-better-world-b3w-partnership\/\">Build Back Better World<\/a> infrastructure initiative have done little to repair the damage. It also doesn\u2019t help that the US continues to export fossil fuels. The country is now the third-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas and is building new terminals to export more, adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that appear on the ledger of other countries. In Louisiana and Texas, this is also increasing local pollution, and hurting the health of poorer communities of colour who live near the facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote block--pull-quote--no-citation\"><div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"block--pull-quote__quote\">The US may be back at the table under President Biden, but sceptical world leaders could be forgiven for asking, for how long?<\/blockquote><cite class=\"block--pull-quote__cite\"><\/cite><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden\u2019s special envoy on climate change, John Kerry, has been trying to exert diplomatic pressure on countries including Brazil, Saudi Arabia, India and, most of all, China, to bring stronger targets to the table, along with plans to meet them. There has been some progress. Saudi Arabia recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/cop\/saudi-arabia-worlds-biggest-oil-exporter-unveil-green-goals-2021-10-23\/\">announced plans<\/a> to reach \u201cnet zero emissions\u201d by 2060, though this won\u2019t count emissions from the oil they continue to export. China has brought a new nationally determined contribution (NDC) to Glasgow, although it does not upgrade previously announced targets; India is expected to follow suit. For his part, Kerry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/10\/16\/1046778414\/joe-manchins-objections-to-a-clean-energy-program-threaten-bidens-climate-promis\">admitted<\/a> that the US failing to pass climate policy at home \u201cwould be like President Trump pulling out of the Paris agreement, again\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"71220\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>This comparison is apt. For many other countries, the US may now have reneged on climate deals one too many times. President Bill Clinton helped craft the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, though this was swiftly followed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/105th-congress\/senate-resolution\/98\">Byrd-Hagel resolution<\/a> \u2013 led by another Democratic senator from West Virginia \u2013 which resolved to vote against signing the treaty, or any agreement to limit emissions. George W Bush then said he wouldn\u2019t try to meet Kyoto targets. Barack Obama helped put together the Paris Agreement, but Republican president Trump then promptly withdrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US may be back at the table under President Biden, but sceptical world leaders could be forgiven for asking, for how long? Current arguments about climate finance and how much the US pays to developing countries, for example, are informed by the grim realisation that the moment the Democrats lose Congress or the presidency, such money is likely to dry up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US is still responsible for the largest historical share of emissions in the atmosphere and is the second-largest annual emitter. There&#8217;s a climate debt to be paid. With doubts around US commitment, President Biden may now be unable to lead the world in addressing the climate emergency, but if he were successful in leading such action in the US, that would be a great start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arriving at COP26, President Biden faces a challenge to convince the world of US ambition, amid domestic disagreement and a chequered
