The Biden climate plan

Article body
President Biden’s infrastructure package, which pledges to halve the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, has been criticized by progressives, including Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, as not being ambitious enough to achieve the scale required to mitigate climate change. Biden’s climate plan also outlined an American Jobs and Families Plan, which would lead to the creation of a Civilian Climate Corps.
