President Biden sponsored the very first climate change bill ever: Boosting Biden Day 78
In 1986, Biden introduced the Global Climate Protection Act, the first climate change bill in the Senate. The act directed the government to research and develop a strategy to deal with global warming.

Biden’s climate change bill died in the Senate. But the following year a version of it survived as an amendment to a State Department funding bill. Reagan signed it into law.
