President Joe Biden plans to mark Earth Day in Seattle on Friday, but he’s struggled to make progress on a sweeping environmental agenda.

Administration officials defend Biden's record on global warming while saying that more work is needed.

“Climate action was a pillar of President Biden’s campaign, and his promises on this existential issue were a major reason the public elected him,″ Tisdel said. ”Achieving results on climate is not a matter of domestic politics, it’s life and death.” As we approach Earth Day, NBCLX storyteller Cody Broadway asked three experts to imagine what a carbon neutral future would look like, and how the U.S. would get there. Changes would have to come to the auto industry and home heating, among other things - but we'll also have to figure out who will pay for the shifts in our energy use.

Asked if Biden's goal of reducing emissions is still achievable, Psaki said,"We are continuing to pursue it, and we are going to continue to do everything we can to reach it.” It's also caused Biden to change his tune on oil drilling. Last week, Biden moved forward with the first onshore sales of oil and gas drilling leases on public land, a move that environmental groups blasted even though the administration said it was only doing so under a court order."The bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now,” Biden said in March.
