Climate experts and activists applaud Biden's Build Back Better climate agenda: "This is a game changer"

The White House's revamped Build Back Better framework contains $555 billion to combat climate change — an amount President Biden has called the "most significant investment to deal with the climate crisis ever." But would the framework's impact be as significant as its size? 

Congress passed the first part of Mr. Biden's domestic agenda, the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, late Friday night. And while that bill does set the stage for actions that could help curb climate change, including putting billions toward electric vehicles, the majority of the climate action on the table lies within Mr. Biden's $1.75 trillion Build Back Better agenda, which is still being negotiated. 

Climate experts and activists have expressed excitement for the framework and say that while not perfect, it can substantially help the U.S. tackle the climate crisis.
