The overwhelming majority of scientists around the world warn that we must take bold and aggressive action to prevent the catastrophic impact of climate change.
Our next president must make climate change a top priority. The future of this country, and this planet, depends on it.
That's why today, I'm joining the League of Conservation Voters in calling on the moderators of the upcoming presidential debates to devote a significant portion of time to discuss candidates’ plans to address the climate crisis in detail.
Climate change can't be treated like a one-off issue for candidates to deliver their talking points and move on. There's so much that needs to be addressed. Climate justice. How to rein in polluters and end offshore drilling. Creating jobs by transitioning to a new, clean energy economy. Protecting our federal lands, and so much more.
Voters want and deserve to hear directly about our candidates’ plans to address climate change. And the moderators have a responsibility to ensure that happens.
