Biden's Climate Policy: A Conversation with Thomas Lyons of the Sunrise Movement
In this episode, I discuss climate change and the associated politics with a passionate advocate for sustainability, Thomas Lyons, who leads a regional chapter of the Sunrise Movement — an organization supporting the passage of the Green New Deal.
We go through the causes of denying the scientific evidence behind global warming; weighing economic costs such as job losses against preventing climate change; the likelihood of Congress taking action; private sector action; and various areas of climate policy including renewable energy infrastructure, cattle farming, regulations on oil and gas, the transportation/auto industry, and foreign policy led by John Kerry.
