The New York Times editorial board blasted Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for getting in the way of President Biden's pledge to combat climate change.

If it weren’t for Manchin voting against passing Biden’s climate bill, the president would have secured"the single biggest investment Washington had ever made to combat the ravages of a warming climate."

The board admitted that Biden’s"bold promises" on climate change would have required a"radical transformation of the world’s energy systems, replacing fossil fuels with low carbon and ultimately carbon-free energy sources." It mentioned that this would need to have been done,"quickly, cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and effectively zeroing them out by midcentury.

Since Biden no longer has Congressional support for his climate agenda, the paper recommended that he"take the same regulatory path President Barack Obama was forced to follow after the Senate’s last colossal climate failure," using"executive authority."
