Here Is the First Explicit Question on Climate Change of the Primary Season
Tonights Democratic debate featured the first explicit question on climate change (from a moderator) of the primary season, despite the fact that last year was the warmest in the United States on record. This winter has also been the warmest on record.
The question came at the behest of 21 Florida mayors, both Democratic and Republican, who wrote a letter to the hosts of both parties debates Florida debates.
This is a critically important issue not just for the country but also for the world, but it isnt even being debated, one of the signatories, Mayor Jack Seiler of Fort Lauderdale, told the Guardian. Some of the topics raised in the debates are ridiculousthe personal attacks go back and forth for 20 minutesbut when you try to talk about about rising sea levels, its almost as if its too much of a mature topic for them.

This is the real differences between the 2 parties. Democrats talk about actual issues and not the size of someone's hands or what someone is wearing.
This is why I will vote for any Democrat who wins the nomination. I'm looking at the big picture here. This is an important issue that only Democrats are talking about right now.
