“Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), one of his party’s most centrist members, made an intensely personal case for ambitious climate action in the Democrats’ social spending package,” Politico reports.
“He said this summer’s drought led to the worst year on his farm since they began farming in the 1970s and that he ‘longed’ for the day when his tractor could be powered off a battery, instead of diesel fuel.”
Said Tester: “If we don’t do something about climate change and start today with real solutions, there are going to be a lot of hungry people in this world. A lot of hungry people.”
