Comment on How come president try for goals into the future, when its a big if? Like carbon emissions and such. Why not do comprehensive plans that can be done in 4 years instead the far off future?

Because if you define specific and measurable goals within your term people might judge you for failing to meet them.

From a strategic perspective it’s a lot simpler to promise things far away because unless you are in power for the whole duration you can blame “the other side” for not being able to meet the goal when the deadline finally arrives.
