Bernie Sanders finds 57 scientists who support his climate plan despite Biden doubts

Joe Biden told a voter that no scientists agreed that his presidential primary rival Bernie Sanders’s plan to combat climate change could work. The Sanders campaign responded by releasing a list of 57 scientists who agree with him.

“The Green New Deal you are proposing is not only possible, but it must be done if we want to save the planet for ourselves, our children, grandchildren, and future generations,” said the statement signed by the scientists on Tuesday. “Not only does your Green New Deal follow the [United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] timeline for action, but the solutions you are proposing to solve our climate crisis are realistic, necessary, and backed by science.”
