Feinstein’s climate plan is absolutely NOT in line with the recommendations of the scientists at the IPCC.
The IPCC report on 1.5C informs policy makers that a 45% reduction in CO2 emissions is required by 2030 in order to avoid catastrophic consequences. This 2030 goal is a huge deliverable en route to their recommendation of net zero emissions.
Feinstein’s plan is completely silent on any any emission reductions prior to 2050 and completely ignores the massive global effort required to hit the 2030 milestone. She basically promised those teenagers that the IPCC goal would NOT be met when she told them that “it won’t get turned around in 10 years”.
The scientists (not the politicians) are the arbiters of what is required to avoid catastrophe. Feinstein’s plan doesn’t meet those requirements. It’s not even close.
