How did the Biden administration respond to the ongoing climate crisis in 2021?

In 2021, the Biden administration took a number of steps to address the ongoing climate crisis. One of the administration's primary goals was to reduce the country's carbon emissions, and it took a number of steps to move towards that goal.

One of the first steps that the administration took was to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change. The agreement, which was originally signed in 2015, aims to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. By rejoining the agreement, the administration signaled its commitment to addressing the climate crisis.

The administration also took steps to promote the use of green energy. It created a number of initiatives to support the development of renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power. The administration also set a goal of installing 30 gigawatts of offshore wind turbines by 2030.

In addition to promoting the use of green energy, the administration took steps to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels. For example, it suspended new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters, and it revoked a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.

The administration also invested in infrastructure to support the transition to green energy. As part of the American Jobs Plan, the administration proposed investing $174 billion in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, $100 billion in power infrastructure, and $35 billion in research and development for clean energy technologies.
