cnn anchors: The CNN anchors stood in front of a banner reading Climate Crisis which was flanked on either side by video footage of a brushfire in California and Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the Carolinas, according to MSNBC. Candidates referenced disasters in passing and told elaborate stories of the disaster-stricken communities they have visited. There was the mother of a girl who died in Superstorm Sandy, a woman whose home burned down in the Sonoma wildfires, and a woman from the Isle de Jean Charles Band of a community known as America's first climate refugees. Yet, despite the everlasting presence of disaster, little in the way of substantive emergency management policy was offered. This week, when MSNBC hosts their own climate forum featuring a number but not all of the presidential primary candidates, they would do well to remember that how to cut future emissions isn't the sum total of climate policy. Instead, the vast majority of the discussion at the event centered around how to mitigate climate change itself electric cars, carbon taxes, vegetarianism, lightbulbs, and plastic straws.
