Sanders climate

Senator Bernie Sanders was interviewed on NBC about the Build Back Better bill. He said this bill would take steps to prevent the problems caused by climate change and Senator Manchin is personally responsible for stopping the bill. He said that climate change is, to use the word everyone is using, an existential threat to the world. While the US has been steadily reducing CO2 emissions over the past 30 years China and India have increased their CO2 emissions by 200%. Sanders said nothing about the contamination of the earth by mining the materials needed for wind and solar not to mention the problem of disposing all of these materials when they are used up. He seemed unaware of the fact that nuclear power is the answer especially thorium. Sanders like many politicians see climate change from a social change perspective.
