How Amy Klobuchar would address climate change

Sen. Amy Klobuchar says that if elected president she will tackle climate change by restoring and expanding Obama-era policies, while creating incentives to expand climate research and clean energy.Klobuchar's plan would largely follow the same executive-action based path advanced by former President Barack Obama by implementing strict fuel efficiency standards for automobiles and limits on carbon pollution from power plants, policies now being rolled back by President Donald Trump.

Klobushar will ask Congress for more ambitious action, including a law to set a target of 100 percent net zero emissions by 2050, and some kind of price on carbon, though she doesn't specify whether that would be a carbon tax, cap and trade, or something else. Like most Democrats, she would rejoin the Paris climate agreement, and she wants to leverage U.S. foreign policy aid to force other countries who are dragging their feet on climate action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions more quickly. She calls for acting as a counterweight to China, which is financing coal power in other nations.

Even if she wins, climate change has advanced so much farther that the climate accords are WAY out of date and too little, too late. So, unless you take extreme actions, we are all still f-d. ClimateCrisis

It'd be a good step. And we get back into TPP while we're at it?
