“Green New Deal” proponent Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will reportedly serve on a climate change panel for former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign. “She made the decision with members of the Climate Justice community - and she will be fully accountable to them and the larger advocacy community during this process,” Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez, told Reuters Tuesday. She will advise Biden’s team on climate policy as a Sanders representative, according to Reuters. Biden and Sanders have agreed to work together on six joint policy committees, which includes the climate change panel, according to The Post. Biden “believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face,” according to his campaign website.
