Incidentally, I'm old enough to remember when Republicans beat up Democrats for voting for Waxman-Markey in 2010, which scared Democrats into not acting on climate change for a decade. If Democrats don't get credit for acting on climate, they will think nothing is ever good enough and give up.
Hochul’s decision to kill congestion pricing was horrible but seeing a story about Gen Z influencers abandoning Biden over climate policy makes me think pols have absorbed the lesson that lowering emissions just doesn't pay off politically - you make enemies and proponents won't be satisfied.
