The anti-environmental executive orders can be rolled back with another executive order, and Biden has already done most of those. For example, we have again rejoined the Paris climate accord.
The rollbacks that went through a rule-making procedure take longer; there will have to be a public notice and opportunity for comments. Regulations that were not finalized can be paused immediately. Those that were finalized might take a year to overturn.
The rollbacks of Trump’s clean car standards and methane standards are high on the list of priorities.
Biden is the first president who ran explicitly on climate action. Things will get better.
Some of this information is taken from the Spring 2021 issue of “Solutions,” the newsletter of the Environmental Defense Fund.
