'It’s easy for politicians to simply acknowledge that climate change exists. What’s harder is a real plan that measures up to the urgency of the crisis,” said Greenpeace.
Climate activists from Greenpeace issued a challenge to Joe Biden about his climate policy after the former vice president officially announced he was entering the 2020 Democratic primary race on Thursday.
Biden introduced the Senate's first climate change bill in 1986, which sought to establish a task force on the issue, though the bill never passed. He has referred to climate change as an"existential" threat and"the greatest threat to our security." He has said he wants the U.S. to be part of the Paris Climate Accord, which was signed during the Obama administration before the Trump administration withdrew.
