President Joe Biden’s national climate adviser Wednesday criticized a conservative think tank’s plans to torpedo the Biden administration’s energy and climate policies.
Ali Zaidi, Biden’s top White House climate aide, spoke to The New York Times during the annual Climate Week NYC, where Biden and his top officials have been boasting about their policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions and boost renewable energy.
The interview comes as former President Donald Trump is vowing to repeal those policies. A lengthy policy blueprint organized by the conservative Heritage Foundation, known as Project 2025, calls for a “whole-of-government unwinding” following the “Biden administration’s climate fanaticism.”
Trump has sought to distance himself from Project 2025, but he has embraced similar rhetoric about trashing Biden’s climate policies.
