From the CNN article:
A recent CNN poll found that 82% of Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents find climate change to be a “very important” issue, ranking it at the top of the list ahead of universal health care, tighter gun laws and impeaching Drumpf.
This is before we take into account that this existential issue affects most young people, the future of the party.
So why avoid the discussion? The DNC establishment, like the GOP establishment, likely knows it’s already too late to avoid some of the worst outcomes of global warming. That’s not to say that it’s still in denial or that it’s opposed to taking action to mitigate the effects. However, a debate focused on climate change is going to bring out some hard and scary truths that the Third-Way Dems really don’t want making the national news.
