The Sanders plan channels the rhetoric of the climate movement, calling for a World War II-style mobilization to halt and reverse the effects of global warming over a decade. His campaign claims it would create 20 million new jobs.
Sanders was an early backer of the activist-inspired Green New Deal framework and introduced, with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Earl Blumenauer, a resolution in July to declare climate change a national emergency."Young people, advocates, tribes, cities and states all over this country have already begun this important work," the campaign says in its new pitch,"and we will continue to follow their lead.
Additionally, he would use his Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue criminal and civil cases against energy companies that hid or withheld information -- over decades -- about the damage their businesses were doing to the environment.Sanders in 2015 and 2016, during his first presidential campaign, memorably called climate change the foremost national security threat.
