The 2020 Democratic candidates discussed the environment for nearly 43 minutes while on the debate stage this presidential election cycle, an unprecedented amount compared to past elections.
One of the first 2020 candidates to beat the drum for climate change was Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who pressed the Democratic National Committee to dedicate one of its presidential primary debates solely to the issue of climate change -- an initiative the DNC turned down. Thai Jones, a Columbia University history professor specializing in radical social movements, told ABC News that this change in conversation has been spurred by"alarming" scientific discoveries and what he called resulting feelings of fear, anger and passion for legal action.
Second, he said, is the"fact that young people are highly organized, and they have helped to vault the issue into the presidential campaign." "The conversation is starting to shift in real time, which I think really speaks to the power of what's happening on the streets," Eder said."The pressure's starting to move the needle and I think we're going to see it happening more and more, and continue to snowball, until we see the solutions we need."
