I can find plenty of sources that say that his proposals will cost more than he says they will and that his taxes to generate money wont be enough.

For example his climate change proposals will be payed by his tax plan according to that site but i literally just did the math and it does not add up.

Were those written before or after he laid out all the details?  Do they, and yours, include everything he has listed in his tax plan? What math doesn't add up?

Some are from his 2016 platform and some are from a few weeks or days ago. I'm not sure when he published that plan cause there are no dates on his site.

These are two recent ones which are probably after he published that. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/22/wharton-study-bernie-sanders-wealth-tax-would-fall-1-trillion-shy.html

The first basickly says that Bernies estimate for his wealth tax only  are 1-1.5 trillion off. It also mentions that Biden is 600-900 million off.

Second link mentions that all of Sanders taxes would generate 29 trillion in 10 years and thats 25 trillion short of where it needs to be.
