This is a great overview of the predatory delay of climate action in the USA
Joe Manchin: “The West Virginia senator’s name is reviled on the streets of Bangladesh and other countries facing climate disaster as he blocks Biden’s effort to curb planet-heating gases”: Guardian
There’s local as well as global pressure: see this related LinkedIn post by Tim Williamson:
Leaders in West Virginia’s Democratic Party passed a resolution calling on members of the state’s congressional delegation, including Manchin, to support President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.

Manchin is meanwhile boasting how President Biden’s passed infrastructure law is helping his constituents:
You sir, are the personification of what is wrong with the ‘Build Back Better’ agenda. Ignorance.
CO2 is NOT now nor has it ever been pollution! What is attached to CO2 going up the smokestack IS pollution . . .
1. Sulfur dioxide (SO2), which contributes to acid rain and respiratory illnesses.
2. Nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to smog and respiratory illnesses.
3. Particulates, which contribute to smog, haze, and respiratory illnesses and lung disease.
4. Mercury and other heavy metals linked to both neurological and developmental damage.
5. Fly ash and bottom ash, that are residues created when power plants burn Coal.
Climate Change related to CO2 is a ruse . . . Endlessly proven false . . .
We have had 18 cycles of Warming and of Cooling during the Holocene . . . Not Dinosaurs recent history.
8 Warming periods . . . 5 warmer than today . . . NONE led by elevated CO2 . . . 7,000 years of warming NOT caused by CO2 . . . but suddenly now caused by CO2 . . . FALSE PROPAGANDA. . .
Clean up Planet Earth with scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators ? YES . . . absolutely . . .
Man Made Climate Change ?. . . Give your head a shake . . . NONSENSE
Life on Planet Earth is Nature’s Show . . .
No matter how hard we point to human intervention as being influential
. . . Nature ALWAYS brings Shock and Awe . . . And, Submission . . .
