The Spin

Democratic narrative

Pres. Joe Biden has made historic strides in addressing climate change, setting the US on a ground-breaking path. His administration has aimed at net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century, investing in clean energy, creating jobs, and reducing household energy costs. His leadership represents the most comprehensive climate action by any US administration.

Republican narrative

Biden's short-sighted climate policies are harming US energy security, economic growth, and consumer purchasing power. Catering to the left's climate alarmism is stifling innovation and harming everyday Americans. Ironically, while the Biden admin. claims its climate policies are protecting the most vulnerable, it's low-income earners who are bearing the brunt of a politicized climate agenda.

Narrative C

Pres. Biden's approach to climate change has mostly been confused and inefficient. For instance, he approved oil drilling in Alaska after promising to end oil and gas leasing on public lands. He has cleared more fossil fuel projects than Trump. Such inconsistency between goals and actions jeopardized environmental progress and his political messaging.
