 Hey Kathleen! Wow. It's been less than a week since we released the official #Climate2020 scorecard ranking and our plan to set a high standard for climate action among the 2020 Democratic candidates is working — today we have ironclad proof. This morning, just days after getting a D- grade on our #Climate2020 presidential climate scorecard, Joe Biden released his climate plan. It's not perfect, but Biden has given us a lot to like, which is why we're updating his grade to a B: 100% clean energy, promises to hold polluters accountable, a strong international focus, and making sure we don't leave workers or communities behind in the transition to a renewable energy economy. Take a minute to share the scorecard with your friends, especially those who are going to be voting in the primary. This only happened because of your loud and unwavering support. We came out so strong. The whole climate movement did. Now we need to get all the candidates to commit to phasing out fossil fuels for good. Chip in to fund all our work for the planet through 2020 and beyond. But, that's not all the good news I have for you today! Elizabeth Warren met Biden's plans head-on today by promising a $2 trillion investment in green energy infrastructure and innovation. Amazing! This is progress. But no candidate has produced real plans to phase out coal, oil, and gas production. And, with just weeks from the first Democratic presidential debate, this is the time to get candidates to commit to the best climate plans possible before they step on stage to speak to the country (and the media) about why they should be president. Let's keep the pressure on and make sure all the candidates know this: if you want to lead the country, you need to lead on climate. Period. Donate now. In it to win it, Vanessa Butterworth Kathleen- The Greenpeace 2020 candidate climate scorecard is here! BREAKING: The Greenpeace climate team just spent the past two months asking each candidate running for president how they'll tackle the climate crisis if they win — and the results are in. Here's what the 2020 presidential candidates said (or didn't say) on climate.
The official Greenpeace #Climate2020 candidate scorecard is finally here. Check it out (It's interactive and fun too)! The pressure's on to stop the climate crisis. This week, from Wyoming to Ohio and across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, tens of millions of people experienced severe storms and historic flooding — all consistent with the escalating impacts of climate change. That's why Greenpeace is jumping into the race for the White House and bearing witness to how the 2020 candidates are pledging to address the climate crisis — the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. Think about it: If we can get every 2020 candidate to support a Green New Deal and say #NoToFossilFuels, this election could ignite a clean energy revolution. The first step is knowing just how far each presidential candidate is willing to go to change the course of history. Then we can pressure them to do better. I know you've been waiting for it because I've been waiting too — get informed on how the 2020 candidates plan to act on the climate crisis with Greenpeace's new #climate2020 scorecard. And, as the candidates' plans evolve and change, we'll update the scores as we go. Look no further. Here's your interactive #2020Climate candidate scorecard. The good news is that we have real momentum in making climate a presidential priority this primary season. Candidates are competing for the mantle of climate leadership. And the tolerance for those who are bringing half-baked or downright bad ideas is slim. Two weeks ago, it was reported that former Vice President Joe Biden would release a "middle of the road" climate plan — but thanks to a quick (and loud!) response from people like you, the campaign immediately walked the proposal back, promising a comprehensive plan "soon." Congrats! So get excited, tell your friends about our interactive #Climate2020 scorecard, and let's keep the pressure up on the whole Democratic field to get us to a safe climate future for everyone. We can make this THE climate election, Vanessa Butterworth P.S. Want to know when the 2020 presidential candidates' positions evolve and change?
