West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey on Friday, vowed to take the Biden administration to court if the president does not seek congressional approval for his latest plan to combat climate change. The constitution provides a steady anchor against massive unilateral action, Morrisey told reporters. If the Biden administration follows President Obama’s lead and tries to bypass congress, West Virginia and other states will have a remedy in the courts.
The West Virginia attorney general has taken issue with President Biden’s pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half from 2005 levels by 2030, calling it a self-inflicted wound that would only empower China.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has quickly come out in opposition of President Joe Biden’s plan to address climate change.
Biden announced parts of his plan on Earth Day, which was Thursday, during a virtual summit alongside 40 heads of government from across the globe. The plan aims to
reduce carbon emissions in the United States by 50 percent by the year 2030.
In
a Friday news conference, Morrisey teased a court challenge to Biden’s climate plan, in the vein of litigation he brought forth in 2015 over President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan.
“We ve been down this road before with some success,” Morrisey said Friday. “And it looks like we re going to have to go down there again.”
CHARLESTON West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is strongly criticizing President Joe Biden’s call to cut greenhouse gas emissions at least 50 percent by 2030.
Biden s proposal, which was announced April 22 at the virtual Climate Leaders Summit on Earth Day, would cut emissions in half as compared to 2005 – significantly more than President Obama ever proposed.
“President Biden’s promise that America will undertake radical, transformational and too-rapid reductions in carbon emissions by the end of this decade is a domestic and foreign policy blunder of almost unfathomable proportions, Morrisey said. Meeting Biden’s commitment would cause energy costs and the prices of American-made goods to skyrocket. It would necessarily take over nearly every aspect of American life requiring drastic changes for homes, businesses and factories while crippling our country’s ability to compete on the world stage.
