I think it should summarize what the policy IS not what it was predicted to be. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:02, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the lead is not a very good summary of the overall article. The information regarding the Obama administration and the letter from the kids, isn't included anywhere else in the article. There is not reference to the other sections of the article either. --Steminist04 (talk) 17:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chidgk1 and Steminist04: I've had a go at the first sentence—please let me know what you think—and improving the lead in general. I've moved part of the Obama-related criticism to Reactions, where it belongs. That section needs to be reorganized too. --Leoseliv (talk) 22:44, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Leoseliv: Great - the lead looks much better now. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:34, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article title is about "environmental policy" but the article itself is all about climate change. Either you need to change the article title to "Climate change policy of the Joe Biden administration" or (and this would be better), structure the article so that over time, other aspects of his environmental policy can be included, not just the climate change aspects.EMsmile (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EMsmile: Besides climate policy, what aspects of the administration's environmental policy need to be described in this article? Jarble (talk) 22:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarble:, so if the title stays as "environmental policy" then I would also expect information on water pollution control, air pollution control, recycling, waste reduction and all those other issues. I am not sure if the author of this page had this in mind? If not, would it be better to rename this article to "Climate change policy of the Joe Biden administration"? EMsmile (talk) 05:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the administration has been going for a while I think there is a reasonable amount of non-climate stuff which could be added by an enthusiastic American, for example on "environmental justice" and also air quality. I don't think this blog can itself be cited but as they say they are going to keep it updated it should give some ideas on what else could be covered in the article. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:45, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the title is correct, because there is no aspect of environmental policy that do not have a link to climate change.

I think that the article should be divided into 3 main parts: Domestic policy, International policy and Reactions.

Inside these 3 parts we should write the different aspects of the policy, recognizing, that all aspects are linked with climate change, some strongly, some less.

I will try to change the page according to these principles, if you do not like it, you can return it after to what was before. EMsmile Jarble Chidgk1

In any case, the article needs to be restructured because so far it only has one main level heading which is "climate change" - this is not a proper article structure. EMsmile (talk) 07:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is anybody working on this article? I was wishing that I could clean the Background section up but it won't be easy and I don't even know if it's worth the effort. Right now it's a mish-mash of campaign proposals and new stuff and it will only get worse as people don't know where to put stuff and they will just park it in that section. For example I think I saw one edit about global warming that didn't even mention Biden (though it is good info and could possibly have a brief mention in a more appropriate section). But even though it is "background" it's not background in the same sense that his campaign positions were. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Sectionworker (talk) 08:49, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well seems no one is around. I did the best I could and there is some improvement, though the article is still not the greatest... Sectionworker (talk) 17:29, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

and Ali Zaidi to succeed Gina McCarthy as Assistant to the President & National Climate Advisor.^[1]

I guess this is worth to mention in the article - but I - no native speaker - don't know where to position it best. Präziser (talk) 08:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When you search "Biden climate change" and so on in Google this page is in third or fourth place, what is not bad despite he has only around 1700 views per months. Its weak side is the lead section which is way too long (Most featured articles have a lead length of about three paragraphs and often not concentrated on the most important, for example even not mention the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. If you agree I can repaire it. --Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 11:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done.

Interesting: as nothing very important did not happen in this domain in the last 1.5 month and the number of views rose from 1,700 to 2,500 (almost by 50%), I suppose the lead section was really much too long. Interesting example how stilistic change can increase views even without changing much the content.
