Leftist Green Groups Criticize House Dem Climate Plan As Unambitious

"A coalition of left-wing environmental groups is criticizing an environmental plan from House Democrats, arguing it is not ambitious enough to combat climate change with needed speed.

In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the organizations blasted Democrats’ CLEAN Future Act as a “staggering failure of ambition and leadership.”

“The CLEAN Future Act completely ignores that warning, and instead pretends that an amorphously defined ‘net zero’ goal of 2050 is adequate. It is not,” the letter said. “For the sake of the American people, the planet and future generations, we call upon you to set a much higher standard now.”"
