Biden introduces his climate team, says 'no time to waste'
Just as America has needed a unified, national response to COVID-19, it requires one for working with climate change, President-elect Joe Biden said Saturday as he rolled out key members of his environmental team.
“We literally have no time to waste," Biden told reporters as introduced his choices.
The approach is a shift from Donald Trump’s presidency, which has been marked by efforts to improve oil and gas production while rolling back government efforts designed to safeguard the surroundings. The incoming Biden team will attempt to undo or block many of the current administration’s initiatives. There will be an emphasis on looking out for the low-income, working-class and minority communities hit hardest by fossil fuel pollution and climate change.
