Why is Biden laughing? The point Bernie is making about climate change is not flippant

37. That comment is brain dead -- it is both not enough and a big deal

It is the FIRST time every country agreed to work to the same goal -- to reduce carbon.

A hint of how big a deal and the amount of effort, intelligence, diplomacy and skill needed is how no one was optimistic in 2012 that ANY deal was possible. Copenhagen was a disaster and when Kerry in 2012 asked Obama if he could work on this as a signature issue - as Women's and chidren's issues were Clinton, he got Obama's support, even as he was told that no one in the administration thought anything possible. Kerry was instrumental in getting the US/China pact and then he and many others in the Obama administration lobbied many other countries for them to develop similar plans - these made the Lima Conference in 2014 a success and were the basis for the Paris Accord working.

No one seriously involved on this issue thinks that the agreement, which many countries have not met, is enough. However, what is Sanders intending to use globally instead of this? If he had an idea, he would have said it at that point. We do not need a second President who would not see that this global issue must be solved globally.
