Late last year, the Trump administration released a dire report warning of the serious economic costs that climate change will cause in the coming years throughout the U.S. due to an increase in natural disasters. When asked by reporters about the report in November, the president responded:"No, no, I don't believe it."
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks during a rally at Howard University on May 13 in Washington, D.C.Meanwhile, as Trump and his EPA have worked to roll back environmental regulations, scientists around the world have increasingly raised alarms about the catastrophic impact climate change will bring.

Progressive lawmakers, led by Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, have called for a Green New Deal. Although the plan currently lacks many specific details, it lays out ambitious proposals to transition the U.S. from dependency on oil and coal to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. It also calls for the plan to be implemented while creating millions of jobs and improving the nation's infrastructure.
Critics have slammed the Green New Deal for being too costly and unrealistic, but Ocasio-Cortez has shot back, pointing out that Congress has had decades to make changes and now drastic action is required. Many of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have already voiced their support for the progressive policy proposal.
