The Biden administration has temporarily halted ‘outrageous climate mandate’ following a series of legal challenges from several states, organizations, and individuals. This mandate was a part of the administration’s climate change policy aimed at substantially lowering greenhouse gas emissions. These lawsuits argue that the mandate oversteps federal authority and would allegedly lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers. The pause allows court proceedings to move forward before further action is taken. Moving forward, the administration may revise, alter or even maintain the current directive based upon legal advice and in response to the lawsuit findings.
