John F Kerry, for example. the presidential climate enjoy, announced that the US and other national must commit to deeper carbon cuts is dire climate impacts are to be averted. An order from the Interior department requires a top political appointee to sign off all new leases for oil and gas drilling. This could delay the commencement of more than 400 drilling applications that are currently outstanding.
