Why do candidates need to talk about it now? It's a done deal. I know the ink isn't dried but. It is done.

Requires ACTION.

Or the act of "signing up" means nothing.

I'm not sure if you know that the president went the the global climate initiative. It was kinda overshadowed by Paris so I understand not everyone is aware. The negotiations are over. It's a signed document.

Adherence to the agreed upon terms is completely voluntary. In other words, countries like China and India may have signed off on the document, but they don't actually have to comply to its terms if they don't want to.

energy. They are still using too much coal, of course. It will take some time to switch
over to a significant extent.

R's in congress in the USA have promised to undermine these agreements. In other countrues as well. It requires the passage of laws OR the agreement by the legislature to ACCEPT the agreement.

That has not happened.

They think it actually means something.

who has not been fighting meaningfully FOR action on climate action for years. Let's try for a little honesty, shall we? There's an enormous difference between blowing smoke and actual work. Bernie's not the candidate who hunted down the Chinese delegation with President Obama at the Copenhagen climate summit or the candidate who addressed it. Bernie's not the Democratic candidate who spent years been laying groundwork around the planet for the Paris summit.

Got it.

meeting? I doubt it. We are not even close to finished.

Representatives of 196 nations all drove their motorcades to their respective airports.
From there, they all flew to Paris in private jets, just them and their aides and attendants.
Once in Paris, they settled in to enjoy the usual internationally-shipped food, drink, and accouterments that the wealthy and powerful are accustomed to.
For a few days, they talked, and ate, and high-fived on the dime of Paris.
Then they reached a historic, monumental agreement! They all looked at global warming, drained the last bits of wine out of their glasses and said "Yup, that looks pretty bad."
Then they had another meal.
Then they piled back into their private jets, and flew all over the world again.
Then they got in their motorcades, drove back to their respective capitols, and went back to business as usual.

All these nations showed up, non-bindingly agreed that science is real, and went home.

Tyranny enslaving our children with debt .

but fuck it

On daddy's computer again.

talking about climate change.

It is alright to say Bernie is talking about climate change but he isn't the only one.

Or just giving lip service? I honestly can't tell you since she blows with the wind so much.

Hillary is not a climate denier as many others are.

She will go against the corporate, capitalist, big money to achieve what really needs to be done.

Make no mistake, we are at an extremely critical time and we need bold leadership that will be in no way beholden to the corporate interests that are killing the planet.

I'm not being overly dramatic that the next president will affect life or death of the planet.

The corporate big money oligarchy, which she has shown time and time again to favor, or all life on earth?

corporation Lockheed Martin I might tend to believe the corporate big money but associated with the candidate so many wants to believe.

it doesn't become too late for enough people to take this issue seriously as the grave danger that it poses.

I almost didn't hear you for the hyenas laughing above.

But have no idea if she really means it. Call it a pattern.

Dangerous

BHO has underwhelmed me on the CC front so far.

AND

O'Malley links ISIS to climate change.

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/248640-martin-omalley-links-isis-to-climate-change

But I would encourage anyone to look closely at the debate about biofuels. You might end up agreeing with O'Malley and Clinton or you might not. It is a complicated issue.

I am not sure what Sanders is saying about biofuels. I will have to check.

besides driving up the price of food

it takes 6 or 7 times the water to process corn into fuel as apposed to switch grass or hemp

more energy too

sometimes we do the stupidest stuff and in this case it is because of the war on drugs people (like the clintons) that are afraid of hemp

I appreciate you posting the links!

been??

Kxl, TPP, global war...

All against what needs to be done in combating our greatest threat.

She doesn't really get it

If we're getting into the practice of hoping that just saying something - no matter how implausible - will make it true, I want into that game.

O'Malley's stand marks the 1st time a Pres-level candidate has committed to zeroing-out carbon fuels
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026861932

Instead, there was a question about spouses and their roles in the White House. Lame question that took time away from real issues.

in their agenda/policy/proposals/campaign.

Who are telling us all about Clinton's positions on it. Including - amazingly - her admission that it's a national security issue.

All that wealth they've stockpiled won't help when these dudes come rolling up out of the midwest wastelands

And that means I should keep working hard for him... Never take a moment's success for granted, for it's out of that moment we must deal with.

Let's take his example and consistently do this in an exemplary manner!

September: Clinton + 20
October: Clinton + 20
November: Clinton + 24
December: Clinton + 24
Dec 31: Clinton + 25

At that rate, Sanders will catch up in.....

take you seriously?

see how wrong you are.

About climate change just two days ago. She often talks about it. O'Malley does as well.

For fun check out this episode of Bear with Obama. A lot of it is about climate change.
