Warren's Environmental Grade is Very Good.

[bluewater]

Senator Elizabeth Warren
Overall Grade = A-
Wildlife = B
Public Lands = A-
Environmental Justice = A
Climate = A-

As a senator since 2012, Elizabeth Warren has a strong record supporting wildlife, public lands and the environment. Warren was one of the first presidential candidates to sign the No Fossil Fuel pledge, and her climate plan recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis by dedicating trillions of dollars to achieve net-zero emissions by the scientist-recommended date of 2030. She also has comprehensive plans for how her administration would manage public lands and address environmental justice issues.
Wildlife (Grade: B) – As a senator Elizabeth Warren has consistently voted to protect wildlife and endangered species. She has cosponsored legislation that would overturn the Trump administration’s rollback of endangered species regulatory safeguards. However, she has not yet made many specific statements about protecting endangered species or addressing the extinction crisis in her presidential campaign.

Public Lands (Grade A-) – Warren’s public-lands plan calls for a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases and sets a goal of providing 10% of the nation’s overall electricity generation from renewable sources offshore or on public lands.30 She would restore protections to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. She was one of the first candidates to come out in favor of protecting the Nevada Desert National Wildlife Refuge against a takeover by the Defense Department. And she was also the first candidate to oppose the Twin Metals mining project outside Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Warren has committed to revoking improperly issued permits for the Keystone XL, Dakota Access and Line 3 pipelines.31 Senator Warren voted in 2017 to allocate $25 billion to fund the border wall as a part of a deal to protect the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program32 but has since stated “I do not support building a wall.”33

Environmental Justice (Grade: A) – Warren released a robust environmental justice plan that calls for spending at least $1 trillion in the next 10 years to defend low-income and minority communities against pollution, contamination and extreme weather events that are exacerbated by climate change.34 The plan would strengthen existing environmental laws by mandating that all federal agencies consider climate impacts in developing rules, and would restore the Obama-era water rule the Trump administration recently rolled back. Warren also proposes that projects should not proceed unless developers have obtained the free, prior and informed consent of the tribal governments concerned. Her plan also instructs the EPA and the Department of Justice to enhance enforcement against industrial polluters and calls for improving equity mapping of marginalized communities to better identify climate risk damage from increasingly intense storms, droughts and wildfires. Finally, the plan empowers local communities with financing opportunities to build out community solar and bottom-up power to enhance energy democracy.

Climate (Grade: A-) – Warren would declare that the climate crisis is a national emergency and supports a just transition to a 100% clean and renewable energy economy. She would end all new federal fossil fuel leasing on public lands and waters, but she has not committed to phase out all existing fossil fuel production on both private and public lands. Warren would ban fracking and end the export of fossil fuels. Warren’s climate plan would require achieving 100% carbon-free electricity and 100% emissions-free vehicles on or before 2030. Warren would dedicate $3 trillion to green manufacturing and research and $1.5 trillion to subsidizing the transition to renewable energy and zero emission vehicles. She has also proposed a “Blue New Deal” to address the impacts of climate change on the oceans. As a senator Warren introduced the Climate Risk Disclosure Act, which would require public companies to disclose information about potential risks the company could face because of climate change, such as the company’s greenhouse gas emissions.35 Warren was also an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal.

Only Sanders, with an A grade overall, is rated slightly higher.

Steyer gets a B, Biden a C+, Yang a C, Buttigieg C- and Klobuchar D.

1. Lame reason for the "B" on Wildlife, IMO

To highlight it (from your link and post):

Wildlife (Grade: B) – As a senator Elizabeth Warren has consistently voted to protect wildlife and endangered species. She has cosponsored legislation that would overturn the Trump administration’s rollback of endangered species regulatory safeguards. However, she has not yet made many specific statements about protecting endangered species or addressing the extinction crisis in her presidential campaign.

At most that should drop her to an A-. Probably not even that. Actions speak louder than words, and unfortunately, frankly way too few Americans even know what "biodiversity loss" is or why it is an existential issue.

2. Comparing a Massachusetts Senator to a Senator from the midwest or west

is a little tricky, environmentally.

4. FYI: It was a Buttigieg supporter that posted Amy's results.

Buttigieg himself got a C- grade from the same source.

I am glad they did provide a link to all the candidates, I was happy to see Warren rated so highly.

3. This is important!

I'm okay with Warren. Better than okay, really.
