As the Democratic presidential hopefuls gather in Miami this week for their first nationally-televised #DemDebate, here are six questions every serious candidate for high office should be asked -- and should be able to answer! #ClimateCrisis
THREAD: palmbeachpost.com/opinion/20…
What’s your plan for helping coastal communities adapt to rising seas, extreme heat, increased vector-borne disease outbreaks, ever more devastating storms and floods and other climate-related damage that threatens to bankrupt localities, cities and entire states? #DemDebate
As president, would you protect these oceans, our coastal communities and all they support, by making clear these waters are off the table for fossil fuel development? #DemDebate #ClimateCrisis

✅Combat the #ClimateCrisis.
✅Creating high-quality jobs.
✅Address economic inequality.

Despite a year of extreme storms, dire climate reports, and deadly heat waves, the Trump administration is gutting one of our most important tools for fighting the climate crisis: the Clean Power Plan. on.nrdc.org/2xdaZgE via @NRDCTrumpWatch
While Trump cuts vital safeguards on what are already inherently dangerous industrial operations at sea, he’s proposing to expose even more waters to industry hazard and harm. #ProtectOurCoast pilotonline.com/opinion/colu…

"The Environmental Protection Agency overturned Obama-era climate rules for power plants, vastly limiting the agency’s ability to mandate tougher greenhouse-gas-emission rules that could force older coal- and gas-fired plants to close." @WSJ

"Trump’s approach ignores the public’s demand for climate action, violates the Clean Air Act, and cooks the books on the science behind #ClimateChange, air pollution, and the true costs and benefits of addressing both." @NRDC President, @RheaSuh.

The Trump administration’s latest move to dismantle the landmark #CleanPowerPlan is a betrayal to our children, our nation, and our planet.

BREAKING: Trump’s @EPA’s #DirtyPowerPlan will aggravate the #ClimateCrisis!
“It would give polluters free rein and doom future generations to a dangerously hostile world.” @NRDC President, @RheaSuh.
With the perils of unchecked #ClimateCrisis widening by the day, Trump took another giant step today toward surrendering our future to the fury of rising seas, flooded croplands, raging wildfires and torrential storms. #CleanPowerPlan usatoday.com/story/news/poli…
In scuttling the #ClearPowerPlan, Trump’s trying to shut down one of the most effective laws we’ve brought to the fight to leave our children a livable world.
Trump’s actions are illegal. We’ll use our courts to hold him to account. #ClimateCrisis thedailybeast.com/environmen…
Great to hear about @MikeBloomberg's latest @BeyondCarbon initiative! As the Trump Administration drags its heels on climate action, this campaign is essential to fill in the gap and accelerate the nation’s clean energy future. on.nrdc.org/2XAEViq
This week, @SenatorShaheen and colleagues introduced a bill that would prevent Trump from using funds to withdraw from the #ParisAgreement AND requires his admin. to create a plan for how the US can still meet our Paris goals. on.nrdc.org/2KyPzlN #WeAreStillIn

Treating science like mythology, history like nonsense, and respected agencies like propaganda factories is no way to run America.
It’s time for responsible #ClimateAction with sound science, the national interest and our children’s future at its core. on.nrdc.org/2Zcw2fj

According to the @NYTimes, the @WhiteHouse wants to use our own government to sow doubt about climate science and stop telling the public how bad things could get but what we don’t know will still hurt us.
