- Climate activists associated with the Sunrise Movement shouted down members of the Democratic National Committee after they rejected a proposal to host a single-issue debate on global warming.
Several people associated with the group interrupted the DNC meeting, singing the union protest song “Which Side Are You On?” Their protests came after the party voted 17-8 Thursday in San Francisco against a resolution to place climate change as the top issue during the debate format.
“We deserve a chance at a livable future,” one activist shouted after the vote. “We deserve a climate debate.”

20+ young people with the @sunrisemvmt interrupted the meeting, singing the union protest song “Which Side Are You On?” pic.twitter.com/tYlhWHOiWr - The town hall comes after DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in June that the party will not hold a debate on global warming. (RELATED: CNN Invites 9 Democratic Candidates To Climate Town Hall. Here’s The Line-Up)
Perez said in a Medium post that month that climate change is just one of several high-priority issues, and that it would be unfair to host a debate revolving around it. The DNC has not responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Symone Sanders, Biden’s senior adviser, was among those who urged the committee to vote down the debate, telling other officials at the conference that it would be “dangerous territory in the middle of a Democratic primary process.” Her comments contrast with those Biden made in June. He told a Greenpeace activist at the time: “I’m all in.”
Co2 followed by warming
CRson,
Morning followed by warming.
Longer days followed by warming.
Evening followed by cooling.
Shorter days followed by cooling.
Can you see the pattern?
If there was a debate, the fIrst question should be “Show of hand, how many think that CO2 is the most important driver of the surface temperature?”
After all of the fools enthusiastically raise their hand and gleefully high five each other, the second question should be “Show of hands, how many think that the Sun is the most important driver of the surface temperature?
At this point, their heads will explode and the debate will be over …
The “debate” they want is the debate on what the candidates plan to do about global warming. Shall we nationalize all energy, declare martial law, or start rounding up any voices that oppose the frightened mob, or inflict all of the above.
No Climate Change debate?
What happened to the “Green New Deal?”
Sort of says the Deal is a lemon with the voters.
I feel we have been treating the Climate Youth the wrong way.
They claim constantly that THEY want a future world to live in, so therefore it is only logical that THEY start investing in it.
Now since the answer to everything is clearly ‘More Government’, we should pass laws that 10% of all youth pre-tax income is removed and placed in a Climate Fund. We would state this ‘Fund’ for all under 18s and every year increase the age bracket by one. Tis only fair.
Remember you only truly appreciate something if you work for it yourself. Inheriting anything, including a future, doesn’t give you the personal investment that makes it truly special. This is why there is absolutely no point in the current ‘adult’ generation putting their money into the future. The youth, for their own good, must not be allowed to simply inherit, they must buy it themselves.
Tax the Youth. Their Future depends on it!
I guess ‘the end of the world as we know it’ isn’t quite such a pressing matter as they usually claim, huh?
Hm. Climate Debates.
Well, there was the debate between Professor Will Happer (winner) against Professor David Karoly between 2016/18 reported here from thebestschools.org.(WUWT passim).
Then there was the debate between Dr. Gary Idso ( winner) and Jeffrey Bennett held at the Manhattan Soho Forum earlier this year, also reported here.
And then there was the Global Warming debate held in New York on March 14,2007 between Michael Crichton, Richard Lindzen and Philip Stott against Gavin Schmidt, Richard Somerville, and Brenda Ekwurzel.
This last debate was previewed by Gavin on Realclimate.org on 12 March 2007, and I haven’t got the outcome.
Does anyone have a reference to this last one and the result?
It was unpopular with alarmists as it gave “oxygen” to “denialists”.

I agree that making the Democratic delegates debate CC would be a good thing, lets hear all of their solutions to this approaching problem.
Another natter , Trump should cut all US money from going to the UN
while they permit the IPCC to so blatantly lie about CC.

Biden may be ‘”all in ” . but he just doesn’t know what for . Was it Arizona or New York ?
Remember he says he isn’t ” nuts ” . Well that is certainly obvious isn’t it .
At least the nuke codes would be safe under this sharp minded senior .
This is the best out of over 60 million Democrat voters ?
Hillary couldn’t stand up but her brain seemed engaged .
