Bernie Sanders on Climate Change

Bernie Sanders has been talking a lot about income inequality and about making the economy work for the working and middle class rather than just the rich. But perhaps even greater attention should be focused on his views on climate change. Unlike almost the entire republican field Bernie believes man made climate change is happening. He also plans to do something about Bernie has been a strong supporter of a carbon tax and unlike Hillary Clinton has come out against the keystone XL pipeline and even tweeted his support to those protesting Arctic drilling. This is the kind of leadership on climate action is what we need the next president to have. If not enough is done by the next president and congress it will likely be too late to avoid very serious harms from climate change. Climate change is a very time sensitive issue and we have already waited far too long to start seriously addressing it.
