Hundreds of Thousands of People Want the DNC to Have a Climate Debate
Mother Jones ^ | 6/11/19 | REBECCA LEBER

Posted on 06/12/2019 2:07:48 AM PDT by Libloather

The pressure for a debate on climate change is only escalating since the Democratic National Committee rejected a call to devote one of its dozen debates to a subject that’s grown in urgency and salience among the Democratic base.

Frontrunner Joe Biden has seemingly threw his support behind a climate change debate, saying “I’m all in” in a video exchange captured by Greenpeace in Iowa. At the same time, Sierra Club has launched a petition Tuesday that targets its listserve of over 1 million members. The ranks of progressive activists, candidates, and DNC members that have been agitating for a change in rules have grown in the last week.

“We will not be silenced from demanding a debate devoted to climate solutions,” the petition reads. “The DNC says it has voters’ best interests in mind with this decision not to hold a climate debate. But as a voter, I’m telling you climate change is the single most important issue I want candidates to address rigorously with a debate.”

That would be worth watching. The silly discussing the absurd and competing for who can be more ridiculous.

I want those who took federal money for climate research to produce the results of their studies and publicly defend them under penalty of perjury

What have they got to Debate?

No Bernie, the world will end in eleven years and 362 days, not eleven years and 364 days, you idiot!

But, Joe, coal is much worse than gasoline which is worse than burning wood, but we can all agree that Trump started climate change when he was born wearing a white KKK hood and burned a cross drenched in gasoline and supported by a pile of high sulfur coal!

Yes, you’re right! But he couldn’t have done it without those misogynistic, racist Republican hate spewing climate deniers who handed him the torch and stole the election from us and Hillary.

They will nominate a queer simply because he is queer.

They won before nominating a man who was black simply because he was black.

Maybe Stacey Abrams will declare she is gay, thereby wrapping up the gay, women, black, ugly, stupid and fat vote!

“I want those who took federal money for climate research to produce the results of their studies and publicly defend them under penalty of perjury.”

This is what I want also. I also want some simple questions answered:

1. How much will fixing climate change cost the US taxpayer?
2. What is the actual plan for fixing climate change?
3. What is the risk mitigation plan in the event fixing climate change doesn’t work and the climate is made worse?
4. Who gets the money to fix climate change?

Not one of these questions were ever asked or answered. Until these 4 questions are asked and answered, climate change is nothing more than a fraud.

Good. They should. It would send more fence sitters running away from them.

Before they tell me the plan, they better tell me what 'fixing climate change' means.

Do they want to make it cooler? Warmer? Calmer? Less wind? Less rain? More rain? Less snow? More snow?

It's all pure bullshit!!!
