From Washington Post -

Where the candidates stand
Here’s where 2020 candidates stand on issues related to climate change, based on candidate statements, voting records and answers to a questionnaire we sent every campaign.

Very interesting to me.

1. WHERE DO CANDIDATES STAND on the OLD New Deal??? Seriously - the Dems need to do a better job at

channeling the anger and concern over all our venerable century old institutions -the social programs and protections (environmental, civil rights, public services, etc.) being whittled away by the radical rw. Once public lands are sold off (at giveaway prices to the cronies) there's no getting them back.

The issues are much the same as 100 yrs ago when people got fed up with the rampant corruption , cronyism and abuse of power.

Where's Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?? Yeah Im aware TR was a Republican. If a reincarnation of TR came along with an R after his name Id vote for him /her - no question.

But we know that aint gonna happen - so who on the Dem side can best channel TR/ Bob Lafollette? That would be the one who gets my vote.

ETA: this is not to say the Green New Deal isn't also important and needs to be on the list. I don't believe in ranking issues in order of importance. Either they're important enough to be screamed from the rooftops - or shut up about it, set it aside for now.

2. This is all about the environment. It's not a ranking of any issues in order of importance. Not sure

what you are saying.

It's helpful for many people who are concerned about the environment to know where the current candidates stand.
