Or, how about, ‘We Saved the World for Democracy, Now let’s Save it for Humanity.’ If Joe commits to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by the end of the next decade (2040; 2030 would be a stretch too far), as JFK did on reaching the moon, he’ll turbo-charge the economic recovery, create millions of green jobs, and vault us back into world leadership. Obama made Paris possible; Biden can make it happen. The Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe, the Biden Plan (Biden-Warren?) can build the decarbonized world. Can Joe be so bold? Let’s hope so; it’s our only chance to avoid a world hostile to humanity.
