Biden& #39;s climate plan is much better than people seem to think and Bernie& #39;s climate plan, while better than Biden& #39;s, is much worse than people seem to think. Sunrise movement are not credible arbitrators of what a good climate plan looks like.

They are testing plans against how closely they match the green new deal. But the green new deal is actively bad as a climate policy plan. If your climate plan includes M4A and a jobs guarantee it is not a climate plan. It is a plan to subordinate climate to other priorities.

And sunrise justice& #39;s scorecard actively penalizes Biden for not adopting this approach. He gets 0 out of 7 for not "strategically sequencing GND policy fights. He& #39;s docked points for not trying to fundamentally reorient society in ways unrelated/tangentially related to climate

And time and time again Biden& #39;s climate plan receives good marks on things directly related to curbing green house gases like R&D and green energy investment while getting zeros on questions about jobs guarantees, single payer healthcare, and other unrelated issues.

Biden& #39;s climate plan is inadequate and you& #39;d be wrong to trust him to do even that. Bernie talks about how serious climate change is, but how seriously is he taking it really if he& #39;s essentially treating it as an excuse to implement the rest of his platform?
