I expect that your idea of a #ClimateHawk is Putin so no wonder you despise Biden and Americans so much for beginning the transition of the world's largest economy off of fossil fuels.
But comparing the EU with the USA total definitely we've been slower to decarbonize, but just like in Europe all of our states are not the same.
This is big #ClimateProgress news that I'm sure the doomers won't be passing along.
Our planet's biggest economy is on track to reduce their carbon pollution by over 5% this year because enough Americans stepped forward and voted for a #ClimateHawk to be POTUS as opposed to allowing the climate science denier to stay in office.
We got emissions to drop so much by reducing coal burning by 30%!
It also looks like 2023 will end up being the year of China's peak oil use too btw.

There's a strong tendency for people to believe whatever someone in their "tribe" says even if they happen to be a grifting fundraising organization.
Here are the actual oil & gas lease sales over the last decade as reported by our government under penalty of law for lying.
Biden is a #ClimateHawk that has gotten more #ClimateAction done than any other human ever.

Perhaps the GOP will put up a #ClimateHawk better than he's doing, but I don't think so personally.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is the #ClimateHawk we need in the position we need him.
One Republican witness called the report “garbage” and challenged the legitimacy of including indirect subsidies. This obviously suits the fossil fuel industry, but it is not correct market theory. Economists as conservative as Milton Friedman have recognized that negative externalities should be in the price of a product, and to shift that cost to the public is a subsidy. https://www.budget.senate.gov/chairman/newsroom/press/sen-whitehouse-fossil-fuel-funded-climate-obstruction-is-causing-systemic-financial-risks-to-the-economy
Senator Whitehouse, an awesome example of a #ClimateHawk, has now given his 288th #TimeToWakeUp speech on the floor of our senate btw. https://youtu.be/xcp7rIJQXyM

Good luck on your move back east. Senator Whitehouse is such a super #ClimateHawk that I envy you that. I've only had elected officials that embarrass me for so long I'm not sure I'd know what to do.
That's not entirely true, the last two mayors of Salt Lake City and my council member were great.

Senator Whitehouse is my favorite senator, a true #ClimateHawk. https://youtu.be/hm345rRsu38
