"2020: The Year Of The Climate Candidates"

"It’s official: The 2020 Democratic presidential field is now awash with climate candidates.

Over the weekend, Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington announced that he would run, declaring himself the “only candidate who will make defeating climate change our nation’s No. 1 priority.”

In fact, every other Democratic presidential candidate has underlined his or her commitment to curbing planet-warming emissions — making the 2020 election much different from four years ago, when climate change was rarely mentioned."

Lisa Friedman reports for the New York Times March 6, 2019.
