It's @POTUS's Climate Day and Biden *just signed* a batch of new climate policies to shift government operations into climate action mode, pause new fossil fuel leases on federal land, + more.

Let's get into it in a thread

There are two Executive Orders and a memo.

One Order is wide-ranging, from reducing methane leaks to adding the Climate Envoy to the Nat'l Security Council (+ a ton more).

The other Order establishes the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

The Memorandum instructs agencies to use the best available science and data to make evidence-based decisions.

Of course, this should have been the case all along...

The Memo also directs specific staff to oversee the integrity of federal agency science.

These executive actions set the groundwork for years of aggressive climate policy.

Now that the groundwork is set, we're looking forward to seeing 100% renewable energy and investment in communities harmed by environmental racism and injustice.
