From the Pentagon to the General Services Administration, President-elect Joe Biden has embedded climate-minded officials throughout his sprawling transition team.

Climate experts, former Obama administration officials and green activists abound among the teams managing the transition for EPA; the Energy, Interior and Agriculture departments; and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Unlike past transitions, officials with significant climate or clean energy experience also pop up in departments like State, Defense, Treasury and Justice.

The group’s suggestions cover 11 government offices, agencies and departments from the Office of Management and Budget to EPA to the State Department. It also calls for a new White House policy council to oversee work on climate across the federal agencies.

11. Finally! Climate is getting the attention it deserves...

The attention it must have if we are to survive. Seriously.

There are so many deniers, even among some Dems who don't want to face the problem.

13. One of the first steps needs to be a substantial increase in gas taxes

$1 per gallon initially to start with followed up with another $1 in a year.

You are not going to get people to stop buying pickups and SUV when gas prices are $2 a gallon like they are now.

12. What held the day was

" ... we choose hope over fear, unity over division, science over fiction, and we choose truth over lies!"

They really did run a great messaging and imaging campaign.

Trump had one chance to engage Biden: the first debate.

14. Competence, Experience the Ability to Assemble a World Class Administration Drew Me to Biden

I was surprised that those abilities did not make him the first choice for more folks. His decisions and choices so far seem to have near universal approval which is saying a lot giving the various factions in the Democratic party. He is definitely the man to lead the country at this time in history.
