WASHINGTON (August 23, 2023)—In August 2022 President Joe Biden began execution on a climate change initiative to reduce harmful emissions and promote clean energy. Almost a year later and the Biden administration has hit more than a few road blocks. A Washington Post-UMD poll found that few adults know about practices responding to global warming and climate change. After the hottest month on Earth was recorded in July 2023, and continued heat waves expected, the Biden Administration is “in the hot seat” for change.
