It has been used during foreign interventions, the war on terror, President Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, and, more recently, mass vaccination campaigns. President Biden now has an opportunity to arm climate policy with American exceptionalism to achieve ambitious climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges when addressing the climate crisis in the United States is political partisanship. Therefore, to further the current climate agenda beyond executive orders, American exceptionalism must collide with climate diplomacy. Americans must take the fight for climate action to the voting booths and support candidates who put the needs and interests of the American people above short-term economic gain and political longevity. The climate crisis must be addressed with bipartisan support instead of being used as a political volleyball. By energizing the American people to support smart climate policy and putting them at the center of the fight, Biden has an opportunity to derail the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/Dark%20Money%20Chpt%20SCCC%20Climate%20Crisis%20Report.pdf\">disinformation campaigns<\/a> run by fossil fuel giants and perpetrated by Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is already galvanizing Americans into action by placing climate diplomacy at the core of his administration\u2019s agenda. On April 22, Biden hosted the first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/03\/26\/president-biden-invites-40-world-leaders-to-leaders-summit-on-climate\/\">Leaders\u2019 Summit on Climate<\/a>, also dubbed the \u201cEarth Day Summit.\u201d This two-day event was set to \u201cgalvanize climate action\u201d on the road to the upcoming 26<sup>th<\/sup> United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November. 40 world leaders were in attendance \u201cto outline how their countries will contribute to stronger climate ambition.\u201d Notably, Brazilian President Bolsonaro, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Putin, and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia attended the event.<\/p>\n<p>During the summit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/us-pledges-halve-its-emissions-by-2030-renewed-climate-fight-2021-04-22\/\">Biden announced<\/a> that the U.S. will halve emissions by 2030 and de-carbonize the U.S. economy by 2050. Biden expects the dramatic emission cuts from 2005 levels to result mainly from powerplants and cars. These ambitious goals must still be passed into law, and a split Senate does not make the task easy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/republicans-biden-emissions-plan-legal\">Many Republicans<\/a> are claiming that Biden\u2019s plans are disastrous, supporting their opinions with dangerous disinformation. One of Biden\u2019s biggest hurdles lies in the implementation of his climate goals. Biden must break the tight grip that vicious misinformation campaigns have held on American voters and work around members of Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanprogress.org\/issues\/green\/news\/2021\/03\/30\/497685\/climate-deniers-117th-congress\/\">who continue to deny<\/a> the existence of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Disinformation campaigns are not new. In his book, <em>The Fight to Take Back our Planet: The New Climate War<\/em>, Michael Mann dates serious disinformation campaigns back to the 1980s during the emergence of global environmental threats. Mann noted that in the late 1980s, a gang of fossil fuel companies including ExxonMobil Shell, BP, Chevron, and the American Petroleum Institute formed the Global Climate Coalition in response to the newly formed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a \u201cfa\u00e7ade of impressive-sounding organizations, institutions, and individuals who would challenge\u2014through newspaper op-eds, public debates, and fake scientific articles\u2014the basic science of climate change.\u201d Today, social media facilitates the spread of these campaigns, as information \u2013 factual or not \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/fake-news-lies-spread-faster-social-media-truth-does-n854896\">can be shared at exponential rates.<\/a> American exceptionalism can play a pivotal role in undoing the damage disinformation campaigns caused to the climate movement. By rallying the American public to oppose such campaigns and continue laying bare the real dangers that climate change poses to the entire world, Biden will be one step closer to his climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>The notion of American exceptionalism exists not to distinguish the U.S. as a diamond among the rocks, but instead to serve as an instrument for political symphonies. Americans\u2019 belief in their exceptionalism has wielded positive change at times, notably during war efforts and to regain trust in their government. Currently, it is exemplified in the astonishing pace at which Americans are being vaccinated. As of April 18, 2021, about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/04\/18\/988574518\/more-than-half-of-u-s-adults-have-gotten-at-least-one-covid-19-vaccine-dose\">130 million<\/a> U.S. adults have received one vaccine dose. Biden placed American citizens at the center of his vaccination campaign, aiming to reach herd immunity and return to pre-COVID normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Biden established climate action as a pillar of his administration and placed it at the center of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2021\/04\/22\/us\/biden-earth-day-climate-summit\">U.S. foreign policy<\/a>. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines even stated that \u201cclimate change must be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2021\/04\/22\/us\/biden-earth-day-climate-summit#bidens-intelligence-director-tells-world-leaders-climate-is-now-at-the-center-of-us-foreign-policy\">\u2018fully integrated\u2019<\/a> with national security.\u201d Leading up to the Earth Day Summit, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, the United States\u2019 chief diplomat on climate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/kerry-china-climate-foreign-policy-54592bd1-ec73-44d6-8fee-0a1fb6c73535.html\">visited<\/a> Bangladesh, China, India, France, South Korea, the UAE, and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Forging strong relationships with other countries to address the climate crisis is a central tenet of Biden\u2019s climate policy, especially amidst rising tensions with China and Russia. In part, this could be the ideal response to President Trump\u2019s abysmal climate diplomacy, exemplified when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/u-s-exits-paris-climate-accord-after-trump-stalls-global-warming-action-for-four-years\/\">officially withdrew<\/a> from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 20 years, the U.S. has withdrawn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/paris-global-climate-change-agreements?utm_source=dailybrief&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=DailyBrief2021Apr8&amp;utm_term=DailyNewsBrief\">from two major international climate agreements<\/a>, which implies that an \u201call in\u201d approach is now necessary. Although President Barack Obama opened the door for a new era of climate diplomacy by committing the United States to the Paris Agreement, climate leadership must be reestablished at home and abroad by re-instituting faith among allies that the U.S. is reliable and trustworthy. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/all-in-climate-diplomacy-how-a-biden-harris-administration-can-leverage-city-state-business-and-community-climate-action\/\">Brookings Institution report<\/a> highlights that having now reached five years into the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN will shift from negotiations to \u201c\u2018pledge, review, and ratchet\u2019 cycles under the Paris architecture.\u201d The report adds that the \u201ctoolkit\u201d of the Biden administration must adapt to this new world of implementing the necessary policies to the address the threats rather than generating \u201clegal text.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goal of climate diplomacy cannot be attained without American exceptionalism. Since Congress continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanprogress.org\/issues\/green\/news\/2021\/03\/30\/497685\/climate-deniers-117th-congress\/\">debate the severity and existence<\/a> of the climate crisis, thrashing out \u2018legal text\u2019 remains the status quo. The introduction of the Green New Deal, a progressive climate plan proposed by Democratic representatives to transform the economy, was immediately dubbed a radical liberal plan and even a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/20\/green-new-deal-congress-483485\">social super-package<\/a>.\u201d Biden\u2019s climate-forward $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/changing-america\/sustainability\/infrastructure\/551635-mcconnell-says-every-gop-senator-will-vote\">gained no GOP support<\/a>, with Senate Minority Speaker Mitch McConnell stating no GOP Senators will vote to support the plan.<\/p>\n<p>The current fracture in climate policy means that the 2022 midterm elections will be a pivotal moment for Biden\u2019s future climate agenda. Although climate diplomacy will move forward with or without the U.S. Senate\u2019s support, failing to overcome partisan barriers will lead to failure in obtaining tangible results for Bidens\u2019 2030 and 2050 emissions goals. For example, if Biden plans to achieve the 2030 emissions goal partially by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/us-pledges-halve-its-emissions-by-2030-renewed-climate-fight-2021-04-22\/\">reducing car emissions<\/a>, then Americans on both sides of the political spectrum must be motivated to buy hybrid or all-electric vehicles. It is vital for President Biden to use American exceptionalism to galvanize climate-deniers and questioners to support senators with a pro-climate agenda. Without it, the United States could remain in a vicious cycle of goal-orientated agendas without successful results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politicians have long wielded American exceptionalism \u2013 the idea that the United States\u2019 identity, values, and culture must be protected at all costs \u2013 for citizen mobilization throughout the country\u2019s history.
