Martin Heller, a research specialist at Michigan and one of the study’s authors, said there was no connection between the research and Biden’s plans.
“The conversation so quickly gets pushed to these extremes and I think that’s an effort at poking at people’s fears,” Heller said. “That’s the frustrating part to me — that we can’t have a conversation about how to get creative in this sort of middle space.”
The Britain-based Daily Mail defended its story while criticizing others in the media.
“President Biden has announced an extremely ambitious target for carbon emissions reduction that will have a massive effect on the American economy and way of life without giving a single detail of how he expects to achieve it,” a newspaper spokesperson said.
“Unlike the rest of the overwhelmingly White House-whipped American media, the Mail attempted to explore this gaping hole at the center of the president’s announcement,” the representative said.
