America’s oldest magazine offered its first-ever presidential endorsement. “We do not do this lightly,” said, in explaining its decision to come out for Joe Biden. But what choice did it have? The country is gripped by two science-related catastrophes, a global pandemic and global warming. Donald Trump downplays the first on a good day and denies that humans are causing the second.
The climate plan Mr Biden released in July includes faster, deeper cuts to America’s carbon emissions than either of his Democratic predecessors envisaged. Mr Biden promises a commitment to decarbonising the electricity grid by 2035. To that end, he pledges among other things to invest $2trn in renewable energy and other technologies over four years. He would also commit America to cutting its emissions to net zero by 2050.
His appointment of John Kerry and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—emblems of the centre-left and activist left—to co-chair his climate-policy shop was evidence of that. So is the heterodox nature of his proposals. For example, though he dispensed with the socialism-by-stealth of the left’s Green New Deal—which included guaranteed jobs and Medicare-for-All—he has mollified Ms Ocasio-Cortez’s faction by emphasising environmental justice, as well as with the scale of his ambition.
CalvinAyre The politicians can fight tooth and nail all they want, but may God have mercy on us. Our world is one and only. Don't screw it up for everyone's sake.
Shows their not informed
But climate change is not the main issue facing America and the world. DEMs can stick with that it they like. And it will cost them to lose by even more.
LOL ! When the 'Weather' becomes a Political Issue , you'd better run to the hills ! GeoEngineering
liar
Come gather 'round wherever you internet roam And admit oily greed & global warming has grown Accept it that soon you'll be wet or dry as a bone And if time for your kids is worth saving Well better start vote swimming or sink like stones For the times they are a climate-changin'
Whatever they say ppl will still not vote for that, they;ll vote for it when things start to literally burn, all the time, in about 5-10y
Just ignore sea-level rise Erosion & greenhouse gases spewed Ocean acidification Lost glacial ice & habitat, too And yet it warms Ignore increased floods, tundra thaws All those dry burns & bigger storms And yet it warms The fix conflicts with oily profit norms And yet it warms
Until Antarctic ice melts not that much to worry about. Then it gets bad for anyone who likes beaches
Wow, you mean there are rifts within the party
The planet doesn't need saving. What needs saving is humanity from the grip of international banking and false narratives.
We black people are more concerned about being killed and getting reparations.
Climage change is a real challenge and cannot be shoved under the carpet
Joe Biden's Dementia is so bad now, he thinks he's a firefighter =(
