President-elect Joe Biden is set to take over the Oval Office with climate-centric priorities on his agenda. The change of pace from the Trump administration could shift how the U.S. is perceived on the global stage when it comes to fighting the climate crisis.

Biden has already spoken with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson about tackling climate change. Johnson also invited Biden to next year's United Nations Climate Change Conference — or COP26 — in Scotland.

Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO and founder of We Don't Have Time, is one of many pro-climate voices calling for change. His social media platform is designed to connect users dedicated to battling global warming.

"I will say, what the world needs, and is in desperate need of, is leadership, and we don't have that," Rentzhog told Cheddar Tuesday. "And it's not just because we have Donald Trump. We have no one else stepping in. And now the timing for a world leader to actually take the climate issue on an international level and take a lead on this could happen."

But a huge challenge, according to Rentzhog, is getting meaningful climate action done while the country remains divided. His suggestion for the incoming administration is to focus on educating the public about the issue.

"I will suggest to you that [the] White House shall not do what Trump has been doing with Twitter, etc., but instead of tweeting madness, tweet about the climate crisis and educate the world about how acute the situation actually [is]," Rentzhog said.

One of the Trump administration's most significant climate policies was leaving the Paris Agreement, which was formalized just after Election Day. Biden has said he plans to rejoin the accord after taking office.

"Without the U.S. staying in the Paris Agreement, I think the Paris Agreement will have been dead," Rentzhog said. "So it's very, very good that the U.S. is now rejoining. Everyone has been waiting for that. But, we must acknowledge that the Paris Agreement doesn't really work yet."

Rentzhog called on world leaders like the U.S. and UK to lead by example when it comes to cutting emissions. 

"We need to think radical here," he said. "We need to change tactics."

What’s in the legislation to end the federal government shutdown
A legislative package to end the government shutdown appears on track. A handful of Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to advance the bill after what's become a deepening disruption of federal programs and services. But hurdles remain. Senators are hopeful they can pass the package as soon as Monday and send it to the House. What’s in and out of the bipartisan deal has drawn criticism and leaves few senators fully satisfied. The legislation includes funding for SNAP food aid and other programs while ensuring backpay for furloughed federal workers. But it fails to fund expiring health care subsidies Democrats have been fighting for, pushing that debate off for a vote next month.
Federal Reserve cuts key rate as shutdown clouds economic outlook
The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate Wednesday for a second time this year as it seeks to shore up economic growth and hiring even as inflation stays elevated. The move comes amid a fraught time for the central bank, with hiring sluggish and yet inflation stuck above the Fed’s 2% target. Compounding its challenges, the central bank is navigating without much of the economic data it typically relies on from the government. The Fed has signaled it may reduce its key rate again in December but the data drought raises the uncertainty around its next moves. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters that there were “strongly differing views” at the central bank's policy meeting about to proceed going forward.
