Climate change is primarily caused by the emissions of carbon from fossil fuels into the atmosphere.  Yet, the United States is currently producing more oil than any other country.  In the year 2008, U.S. crude oil production was 5.0 million barrels a day.  Currently production is 12.9 million barrels a day.
The Biden administration attempted to reduce the production of oil by not selling oil drilling leases on federal land, but a federal judge ruled that the administration could not curtail the leasing of public lands to the oil companies.  The Mineral Leasing Act states that the Department of Interior shall hold lease sales on public lands.  The federal district court asserted that the administration could not stop leasing federal lands without Congress’s approval which was not likely to happen with the make-up of the contemporary Congress.
Nevertheless, the administration endeavored to reduce transportation’s emissions by supporting electric vehicles as a replacement for the use of carbon laden fuels. In addition, it promoted the use of renewable energy: solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower, and geothermal, to replace fossil fuels.
Hopefully, non-polluting natural hydrogen will replace gasoline as the energy source for the many modes of transportation, but that effective alternative is in the future.  If it can be delivered at a price below oil, market economics will overrule the current politics.  
In the meantime, the world will continue to suffer through droughts, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and blackouts from climate change caused primarily by fossil fuels.
