Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Blinken On Biden's Climate Agenda: Americans 'That Relied On Old Industries Will Be Hit Hard'

Doesn't matter. The Gaia First policy of this administration is the only rational one.

If America fails to lead the world on addressing the climate crisis, we won't have much of a world left. If we succeed, we will capitalize on the greatest opportunity to create quality jobs in generations; we'll build a more equitable, healthy, and sustainable society; and we'll protect this magnificent planet. That's the test we face right now.

Even if the United States gets to net zero emissions tomorrow, we'll lose the fight against climate change if we can't address the more than 85 percent of emissions coming from the rest of the world.

Coming up short will have major repercussions for our national security.

We will be mindful that for all the opportunities offered by the unavoidable shift to clean energy, not every American worker will win out in the near term. Some livelihoods and communities that relied on old industries will be hit hard. We won't leave those Americans behind. We'll provide our fellow Americans with pathways to new, sustainable livelihoods, and support as they navigate this transition.
