Biden received a D- grade, ranking only above John Hickenlooper, Bill Weld and President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden has the second-worst stance on climate change among all Democrats qualifying for the presidential debates, according to a new evaluation from Greenpeace.
"We are in a climate emergency. Yet for the last several elections, even the majority of politicians who claim to care about our future have done little more than say they believe the climate crisis is real," Janet Redman, the climate campaign director for Greenpeace USA, told Newsweek in an email."That doesn’t cut it anymore. In 2020, true climate leadership means nothing less than saying ‘yes’ to a Green New Deal and ‘no’ to fossil fuels.
The disconnect between Biden and more progressive candidates on climate change emphasized the divides — between the establishment and newer members — within the Democratic Party and raised questions about its future. Like Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hasn't endorsed the Green New Deal, and she scoffed at the suggestion in February.
Biden, however, has been criticized as attempting to promote a policy that fails to address the severity of climate change, instead pursuing strategies that align with his broader endorsement of unity and bipartisanship. Although the candidate has the Paris climate agreement created during the Obama administration, critics have rebuked him for promoting a plan that seeks to appease a broad swath of the populace.
