Huge kudos to @MeetThePress for a full hour on climate change this morning. This is a glimpse of what it would look like if we took climate change seriously.

Prove me wrong, but I think this is the very first time a Sunday news program devoted a full hour to climate -- the most important problem in human history.
Talking about #climatechange (and the fact that a better world is possible) is the most important thing any of us can do.pic.twitter.com/j48khzHB4U
Like @KHayhoe so eloquently says, talking about climate change helps build political momentum, helps us process our new shared reality, helps make the case for a better world in line with science and justice and decency.https://www.ted.com/talks/katharine_hayhoe_the_most_important_thing_you_can_do_to_fight_climate_change_talk_about_it?language=en …
So -- Sunday news show producers, more of this please. Especially w/ guests who acknowledge the scientific imperative of radical decarbonization over the next 12 years. @AOC, @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley, @RoKhanna, @sunrisemvmt -- as well as almost literally any climate scientist.
Climate change is a big deal; so why are climate change activists and politicians so quick to defend mass immigration which is responsible for all the unsustainable and destructive population growth in the US? Population denial is just as bad as climate change denial
Think about what you said for a minute.
If @MeetThePress cared about global warming, they'd be focusing on #GreenNewDeal instead of pushing soak-the-poor "solutions" like the carbon tax.
I thought I had the wrong channel on.
Seems to me those neolibs (Bloomberg/ billionaire who wants to be prez, etc) shouldn't be on the climate destruction panel. Also, so much time spent on yellow vests protest while ignoring the real reason they protest Macron who wants to implement austerity while rich get richer.
