“Climate Movement Rushes to Endorsement Kamala Harris,” read a headline on Saturday, highlighting the Democratic candidate’s growing support among those most concerned about global warming.
in Interview Marianne Lovell, Washington correspondent for the public radio environmental news magazine Inside Climate News, argued that the election has “galvanized the climate movement, with groups that have never backed a presidential candidate before coming forward to support Harris.”

Lovell added, “They point to her record as the former Attorney General of California fighting oil companies, her focused environmental justice work in the Biden Administration, and the historic nature of her candidacy as a woman of color.”
The same conversation also featured comments from Kanyeela Ng, director of the Green New Deal Network, who praised Harris for her support of the Green New Deal in 2020 and for being a “longtime advocate for environmental justice.”
This means Harris is “ensuring that Black, brown and low-income communities are not disproportionately affected by corporate pollution,” she said.

Participants in the conversation noted that Biden’s proposed Inflation Control Act (IRA) enacted the idea of a “green bank” — a financial institution that would lend taxpayer money to cash-strapped businesses and individuals so they could invest in things like solar panels and energy efficiency.
Thanks to IRAs, $20 billion in taxpayer money is “distributed through these community-based lenders,” Lovell said.
Harris recently represented the US at a climate change conference in Dubai and led efforts on clean energy cooperation between the US and the Caribbean, but “this type of diplomacy was not viewed favorably by former President Trump,” LaBelle complained.

But environmentally conscious voters are comfortable with Harris.
Even younger voters who “weren’t happy with Biden’s record on climate change in general” are “very enthusiastic about Harris, although it remains to be seen whether her policies will differ from Biden’s,” Lovell said.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, climate change alarmists have rushed to endorse Kamala Harris, arguing that her environmental record speaks for itself.
The Sierra Club, the League of Environmental Voters and the Green New Deal Network have all endorsed Harris, as have several prominent climate change groups. Instigator These include former U.S. Climate Change Secretary John Kerry, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee (Democrat), former Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
