See quote below from an article on the appointment of John Kerry as "climate envoy" with a seat on the National Security Council (NSC). This paragraph, at least, gives credit where it's due.

Biden prioritizes climate crisis by naming John Kerry special envoy


"The energy around the issue of the climate crisis has escalated in a short period of time. When Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, during his first presidential campaign in 2016, called climate change the foremost national security crisis, he was pilloried as not being serious about foreign policy. Five years later, the White House will have a special envoy for climate with a seat at National Security Council meetings."
