Biden on climate change

5/18/19

Biden attempted to specifically address his critics on climate change, with some supporters concerned he has underestimated its electoral importance. Reports that Biden is working on a climate change plan that tries to find a “middle ground” on the issue were met with disdain from Democrats for whom the climate has become a central issue, like New York’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other presidential hopefuls, like Bernie Sanders, who said bluntly, “There is no ‘middle ground’ when it comes to climate policy.”

“There’s not much time left, we need a green climate energy revolution and we need it now,” Biden said Saturday with some attempt at passion, before focusing back in on his unity pitch. “Let’s stop fighting and start fixing, because we can only do it together.”
