Description
The Biden admin announced the creation of the American Climate Corps last week and we had to talk about it. We talk about the movements and organizations that won this concession from Biden, the US's role on the global stage in the context of climate, and of course resurgent comparisons to the New Deal and FDR, driven by the Administration itself. As Biden dons the "borrowed costumes" of the administration that saved Capitalism, we have to ask ourselves: "Is it time for the Farce?"Government / Politicians Statements:White House Statement (Sept. 20, 2023)Earlier Proposal (July 20, 2021)Climate Corp SignupUnited Nations, "World Leaders Adopt Sweeping Political Declaration Reaffirming Commitment to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals, as Summit Commences" (Sept. 18, 2023)Sunrise Movement:Sunrise on American Climate Corps: We Turned a Generational Rallying Cry into a Real Jobs Program (Sept. 20, 2023)50+ Organisations Urge Biden to Establish Civilian Climate Corps through Executive Action (Sept. 18,2023)News Articles:AP, "Biden uses executive power to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps" (Sept 20, 2023)Common Dreams, "Embracing FDR's Spirit and Progressive Demand, Biden Unveils American Climate Corps" (Sept. 20, 2023)Daily Beast, "Biden’s American Climate Corps Isn’t Enough—But It’s a Start" (Sept. 20, 2023)International:Reuters, "Climate protesters in New York and across the globe send message to United Nations" Sept 17, 2023+972 Magazine, "Gaza’s race against climate breakdown" (Jan 13, 2022)E & E News, "Biden to skip U.N. climate summit" (Sept. 15, 2023)The Nation, " The Global South is Calling for Climate Reparations" (April 22, 2022)Military Impact:Earth's Greatest Enemy
