NEW: The @JoeBiden- @BernieSanders task force just came up with a series of environmental recommendations for Biden. Here are our takeaways

The US climate target of “net-zero” greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is inequitable and unscientific. @JoeBiden should adopt Bernie’s 161% emission reductions by 2030. We don’t have time to waste with false climate solutions like carbon trading.

Calling for an end to international coal financing is completely insufficient. ALL fossil fuel financing – including all oil and gas– must be ended, in the US and globally.

Carbon capture & storage (CCS) simply gives Big Oil permission to pollute. It is FAR from environmentally just. @JoeBiden cannot claim to care about environmental justice while relying on CCS and “advanced nuclear” technologies that harm people & the planet.

Ending new fossil fuel leasing is an obvious and critical step to fight climate change. @JoeBiden had it in his earlier climate plan. He should not walk back on this promise.

Oil and gas are boom and bust industries that is going bust for the last time. The ACP was cancelled and DAPL was halted this week. Stop being afraid to end fossil fuel leasing, ban fracking, and halt new infrastructure. It’s time to invest in the future.

We must end our dependence on fossil fuels. Any serious environmental platform must explicitly protect our oceans and the Arctic from drilling and dangerous extractive activities.

On the ag side, we are happy to see that this task force wants to expand conservation programs, support for local & regional food systems, antitrust enforcement and addressing racism at @USDA!

But while the recommendations address corporate polluters of rural America, we have to call out the biggest offenders…. We need an immediate moratorium on factory farms!

We call on the @DNC platform drafting committee to write a better & bolder platform. We expect more from the Democratic party.
