CNN had a multi-hour climate change forum with the Democratic candidates about a month ago emulatorloo Oct 2019 #2

Well, that's that then? BeckyDem Oct 2019 #3

What climate change question would have elicited major differences in candidates' answers? thesquanderer Oct 2019 #4

You believe the policies would all be the same? BeckyDem Oct 2019 #6

So the debate would be how much they would spend? thesquanderer Oct 2019 #9

Maybe you would understand more if they discussed it intelligently. BeckyDem Oct 2019 #10

But they did ask the one about "who's your weirdest friend". So at least there's that.

How much time do you think they spent over the last year on climate change? Considering the issue, the answer is not nearly enough.

This is a debate. I'm not sure how useful it is to have questions on topics they all fundamentally agree about. Are there really big distinctions here?

And we're supposed to like the one who says the biggest number?

I don't know... I know it's important, but I feel that any of our candidates will implement a comprehensive policy to address it. Beyond that, personally, I'm not sure how much more I need to know for the purposes of candidate differentiation. I don't know enough to understand whatever more detailed differences there may be between one plan and another.
