That is why our message to Congress right now is: no climate, no deal. Because as Secretary Buttigieg so eloquently put it, every infrastructure decision is a climate decision. To seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity, Congress must move a bold infrastructure package that tackles the climate crisis before moving any bipartisan deal.
