Vice President Joseph R. Biden told environmental activists at the Sunday “Green Ball” inaugural event that the White House would not fail to enact climate change policy.
“Keep the faith,” he said, according to a Politico report. This administration will compel the nation to “finally face up to climate change,” he added.
Mr. Biden did not specify what policy changes were on the way. But he’s been a consistent voice in the call for tightened regulations, in line with U.N. agenda. In 2007, then-Sen. Biden called for the Bush administration to abide the guidelines of an IPCC report to control emission levels of carbon dioxide and other perceived greenhouse gas polluters, saying “we have wasted the past six years on the sidelines of international negotiations and our leadership is needed to produce a global solution,” according to a Council on Foreign Relations biographical sketch on Mr. Biden.
In 2008, Mr. Biden introduced a bill to create a global fund for clean technology development, CFR continues. And in 2005, he sponsored the Clean Power Act, creating a cap-and-trade system for carbon dioxide.

"It’s said that the Twitter messages actually thumbed by President Barack Obama @BarackObama are signed `BO.’
The one this morning came from St. John’s, the church across Lafayette Park from the White House, where the first family went this morning on the chilly and overcast day of the public inauguration ceremonies:
“I’m honored and grateful that we have a chance to finish what we started. Our work begins today. Let’s go. -bo”
The president and his family arrived at St. John’s at 8:35 am EST.
The service ended at 9:39.
BO tweeted at 9:25."

"WASHINGTON—Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer. "This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]."
