Seven hours of climate stumping wasn’t always fun, but it was often fascinating
contenders. She calls for carbon neutrality by 2050, and the federal investment she’s proposed is only a fraction of Bernie Sanders’ $16 trillion, for example.
Promising Americans would not have to surrender their burgers and cheese, Klobuchar also said that fracking would continue under her administration. “I think I’m being honest,” she said. “We won’t immediately get rid of it.” A spunky Joe Biden came to the CNN event with enough verve that he burst a blood vessel left eye. He gave a spirited defense of his climate plan, which has one of the lowest price tags of any of the candidates in the field: “Yes, I think it is aggressive enough.
Biden was energetic, and unusually sharp, at least by comparison to his previous debate performances. He fought back against the doom and gloom that characterizes much of the climate debate and played up the “enormous opportunity” of revolutionizing our economy to meet the challenge, including creating millions of jobs paying “25 bucks an hour.”
In order to help keep the planet habitable, Sanders called for putting an end to fracking, cutting military spending, and even working to check population growth. How would he curb population growth? By promoting birth control and a woman’s right to choose around the world. “Especially in poor countries where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, [they should] have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids they want to have,” he said.
Buttigieg also landed a novel analogy while criticizing President Trump and Republicans in Congress. “You could argue that of all the horrible things that this president has done, the thing that will be most remembered 50 or 100 years from now will be the failure to act on climate,” he said. “Congress right now is like a room full of doctors arguing over whether medication or surgery is the best approach, and the other half are saying cancer doesn’t exist.”.
Amid a presidential campaign where he has struggled to keep pace in the polls and has underwhelmed in the debates, it has been at times easy to forget what made O’Rourke so electrifying less than a year ago as a long-shot Senate candidate. But on Wednesday night, in a setting suited to his rhetorical skills and an issue in his wheelhouse, the promise and potential of O’Rourke’s candidacy was fully on display.
