Politico: Sunrise Movement warns of ‘a death sentence for our generation’ as Biden fails to enact climate agenda – Activists go full ‘public freakout mode’
Politico: The more confrontational elements of the climate left are in public freakout mode. The youth-oriented Sunrise Movement, which gave Biden’s initial climate plan an F-minus grade during the Democratic primary but praised his initial infrastructure plan for its climate ambition, protested his negotiations with Capito and other Republicans outside the White House last week. Sunrise executive director Varshini Prakash warned on Tuesday that “anything less than a robust jobs and climate package is a death sentence for our generation.”

BY MICHAEL GRUNWALD
President Joe Biden clearly wants to be a climate president. He’s set ambitious climate targets. He’s assembled a team of passionate climate wonks and activists . He’s announced a “whole of government approach” to the climate crisis, followed by a drumbeat of aggressive executive actions. He’s also proposed extraordinary climate investments in his infrastructure plan, and an hour rarely goes by without an administration official urging Congress to pass it.
