Climate activists are among those sounding the alarm over the selection of JD Vance. The group Sunrise Movement cited his track record of voting to gut the EPA, his denial of climate change, and the fossil fuel industry’s contributions to Vance’s campaign. JD Vance previously acknowledged the need to take on the climate crisis, before taking a hard right turn on the issue. On Monday, the group Climate Defiance posted a video of its activists disrupting a JD Vance gala dinner, vowing to continue targeting Vance now that he is the vice-presidential nominee.
