As a candidate, President Biden said fighting climate change would create jobs. But as president, there hasn't been much action.
While the effects of the climate crisis, like melting ice caps, rising sea levels and more wildfires are accelerating, President Joe Biden's plans to tackle it are stalled.
But as president, his proposals aimed at breaking America's fossil fuel habit grounded to a halt. More than $500 billion in spending in the"Build Back Better" bill were opposed by Senate Republicans and Democrat Joe Manchin. "We need to do three things: We need to phase out fossil fuels, we need to deploy clean energy and we need to protect the forests," Hassol said.
Climate legislation opponents often cite the price tag, but scientists and advocates warn the alternative could be much worse.
