Lots of climate-related jobs await us

According to this article:

"Remediating climate change will involve unimaginably labour-intensive tasks, like relocating every coastal city in the world kilometres inland, building high-speed rail links to replace aviation links, caring for hundreds of millions of traumatized, displaced people, and treating runaway zoonotic and insect-borne pandemics. These tasks will absorb more than 100% of any labour freed up by automation. Every person whose job is obsolete because of automation will have ten jobs waiting for them, for the entire foreseeable future."

If, and only if, governments take up ecological laws that recognize the crisis and commit to addressing it via the green jobs necessary to get it done. And that ain't the US under the current admin. Our Green New Deal would create those jobs but we need a different admin to get to work. And yes, Biden's climate proposals go a long way toward that aim. Hence the very real difference and necessity to vote for him.

Given the establishment Dem Party I understand the cynicism. But Bernie and our progressive movement have moved both Biden and the Party left because they know they need us to win the election. It is reasonable to assume they will both drag their feet on implementing what they proposed, but that's up to us and Bernie to hold their feet to the climate fire after the election.
