Biden expected to issue swift reversals on climate

Early action on climate change from President-elect Joe Biden is likely to start with a series of executive orders reversing President Trump's environmental policies, laying the groundwork for an administration that has vowed to sharply curb emissions.

Environmentalists are optimistic about Biden's climate agenda, particularly given his remarks on the topic both before and after the election. On Saturday, after he surged across the 270 electoral vote threshold, Biden cited "the battle to save the climate" among his top five priorities, calling for the nation to "marshal the forces of science" along with decency, hope and fairness.

"The fact that climate has made it into every speech - it's one of top issues on the transition website - I think that really bodes well for taking the federal agencies and shaking them by their shoulders and turning them into the light," said Nada Culver, an attorney with the Audubon Society.

"And that's exciting because without that commitment it's difficult to move a big bureaucracy forward. There's a lot to be done. We've lost four years when we could have been doing important work," Culver added.
