Presidential candidate Kamala Harris released a $10 trillion plan Wednesday to combat climate change, pledging to achieve 100% net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 2045.
The price tag for her plan, representing a mix of public and private funding, is the second highest of all climate plans proposed, topped only by Bernie Sanders’ $16.3 trillion figure.
And her timeline for carbon neutrality, or net-zero emissions, is faster than the mid-century target set by most other candidates, a timeline that U.N. climate scientists say is necessary to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Net-zero emissions means that no more carbon emissions are produced within the country than are eliminated from the atmosphere.

And what will the rest of the world be doing while we put ourselves out of business over "the earth returning to the temperature it was before the ice age"
She is going to be out of the presidential run after the next debate.
Biden should drop out NOW, especially after Blowing out an Eyeball !!!!
China leads the world in pollution. They are far and away producing more pollution than the next FIVE countries. Yet they make no effort to curb their pollution.
Going nowhere, but still running that mouth.
The key to understand this problem: politicians seek ways to get something while keeping everything they already have, like a luxurious lifestyle, plenty of cheap energy, so on.
Carbon (Methane!) control is extremely important at this point in time. Human demand for unnatural energy levels (lifestyle) automatically creates damage to the delicate balance of life.
Most importantly is the recognition that military weather modification is totally disrupting the hydrological cycle (balance of life).
Geoengineering must be stopped soon!
Did she get an extension from AOC on the end of the world?
Oh God I hope she gets the nomination.
At least she is trying to do something. Republicans have their heads in the sand
