WATCH: Kennedy stumps Biden official on $50 trillion cost to fight climate change: 'You don't know, do you?'

So I just read this really fascinating article about a recent congressional hearing on climate change. Kennedy, a politician from Louisiana, was grilling a Biden official about the cost of fighting climate change and things got pretty intense. The official kept dodging his questions and couldn’t give a clear answer on the estimated $50 trillion price tag. It was really frustrating to watch because it felt like we need to know the potential costs in order to make informed decisions about how to combat climate change.

I think it’s crazy that we’re even still debating the reality of climate change in 2021. The more I learn about it, the more I realize how urgent and important it is to take action. I’ve been trying to make small changes in my own life, like cutting down on plastic use and reducing my carbon footprint, but it feels like there’s only so much I can do as an individual. We need our leaders to start taking this issue seriously and come up with real solutions.

Overall, I thought the article was really eye-opening and frustrating at the same time. All in all, it just reinforces the importance of taking action on climate change and the need for transparency and accountability from our leaders.
