At an [[Earth Day]] virtual summit on April 22, 2021, Biden pledged to cut U.S. emissions by half by 2030,<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-will-commit-halving-u-s-emissions-2030-part-paris-n1264892</ref> the [[European Union]] agreed to go carbon neutral by 2050,<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3130431/european-union-agrees-go-carbon-neutral-2050-ahead-biden-climate</ref> and the People's Republic of China pledged only to reduce coal consumption - starting in 2026.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xi-says-china-will-phase-down-coal-consumption-over-2026-2030-2021-04-22/</ref> The junta also waived sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream II pipeline, enriching Vladimir Putin and in direct contradiction to Biden’s claim that the “climate crisis” is a major factor in foreign policy decisions. The pipeline from Russia to Germany undercuts Germany's efforts to meet [[Paris Climate Agreement]] targets. The Paris Agreement, which Biden rejoined in one of his first actions, also benefits Russia, which simply ignores carbon emission goals.<ref>https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/05/21/what-does-putin-have-on-biden/</ref>

Junta Executive Order on Climate-Related Financial Risk contained all the far-left Green New Deal climate change features to destroy [[fossil fuel]]s, [[capitalism]], jobs and the economy in the name of [[global warming]]. The order allowed the government to do virtually anything in any part of the economy or the financial markets, or labor markets, or [[agriculture]] — or anything — in the name of mitigating risk of [[climate change]]. The ''diktat'' claims that “intensifying impacts of climate change present physical risk to [[asset]]s, publicly traded securities, private investments, and companies — such as increased extreme weather risk leading to supply chain disruptions.”<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/20/executive-order-on-climate-related-financial-risk/</ref> The junta claimed the power to regulate everything, to include signing a loan for a new home, how savings and retirement funds are managed, and to “reduce the risk of climate change to the federal budget.”<ref>https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/05/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-directs-agencies-to-analyze-and-mitigate-the-risk-climate-change-poses-to-homeowners-and-consumers-businesses-and-workers-and-the-financial-system-and-federal-government/</ref> Massive and unprecedented central power would come from the District of Columbia and be exercised by upper- and middle-level [[bureaucrat]]s.<ref>https://www.nysun.com/national/bidens-radical-executive-order-on-global-warming/91529/</ref>
