Sheldon Whitehouse On Climate Costs, and What Our Executive Can Do To Get Us To Zero Emissions

The latest from the MVP of the Senate, Sheldon Whitehouse, on the political negligence and inertia we face by suffering climate cascading catastrophes, and what those catastrophes' huge costs are to Americans nationwide for subsidizing fossil fuel pollution with $660,000,000,000 per year.
DeLoitte estimates at current costs of inaction on climate catastrophes will cost the world $220 TRILLION BY 2070.
