Republican Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana is taking exception to climate envoy John Kerry’s claim that the White House can lean on executive orders to achieve the Biden administration’s aggressive new target of cutting U.S. greenhouse emissions in half by 2030.
“This is one of the most financially impactful decisions of any administration in recent history, and they are bragging we will do this unilaterally without Congress,” Graves told the
Washington Examiner in an interview. “That is a dictatorship.”
Graves, the top Republican on the House Select Committee on Climate Crisis, recently introduced legislation with other GOP leaders that would force the Biden administration to report to Congress before it submitted to the United Nations a new U.S. target to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement. But the bill stands no chance of making it through the Democratic Congress.
