[While the Obama-Biden administration had done much more than the previous George W. Bush administration to reduce the rate of increase in environmental damage to the planet, many critics also fault the Obama-Biden administration for not doing more than "laying the groundwork". However, there was a Republican-controlled congress whose major objective was to prevent any bill from passing for which the President and the Democrats could claim credit. In addition there was a strong element of the Republican party which was ideologically opposed to admitting that man's activities—–especially industrial activities—–were having any kind of harmful effects. So, there was little operationally that the Obama-Biden administration could do other than build the "groundwork"].
