Bill McKibben: "Manchin's Latest Hissy Fit" Threatens to Curb Biden Agenda at U.N. Climate Summit

As President Biden addressed the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow on Monday, warning that climate change is already ravaging the world," back home his climate agenda was dealt a major setback when Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia criticized the slimmed-down $1.85 trillion Build Back Plan. The air went out of this conference" when Biden showed up with no major climate legislation passed, says Bill McKibben of 350.org in Glasgow. It makes it extremely difficult to proceed when the world's carbon champion - the country that's poured more carbon into the atmosphere by far than any other - won't provide leadership."
