7 climate change buzzwords you need to know to follow the 2020 campaigns.
Democratic party leadership has cast a cloud over the idea of a separate debate focused on climate change but candidates are expected to shine a light on the topic throughout the campaign and have released a number of plans.

The term fossil fuels refers to legacy sources of energy like coal, natural gas, and oil that release the most greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide when they're burned to create energy. Fossil fuels are formed by decayed organic matter like prehistoric animals and plants and have to be extracted and often processed to be converted to energy.
