Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
In State Fair visit, Bernie Sanders criticizes Trump and advocates economic equality
(snip)
What the scientists are telling us is that we have fewer than 12 years to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy or there will be irreparable damage done to our country and to the entire world, he said.
Crann asked Sanders how would the country pay for the over $16 trillion project.
Sanders told him he was asking the wrong question.
The right question is, What happens to this country, and the planet, if we do not transform it? he said. Climate change is real; it is already causing devastating problems and it is caused by human activity.
He proposed reaching out to all the nations of the world to persuade them to stop spending money on defense, and instead fight together against the common enemy of climate change.

"What happens to this country, and the planet, if we do not transform it? We are quickly running out of time. 12 years at the most and that was before the Arctic and the Amazon started burning out of control.
