As much as scientists see the need for action on climate change, they don't lay out a looming point of no return , as Pete Buttigieg and Beto O'Rourke asserted. Bernie Sanders almost certainly overstated how much new income is soaked up by the richest Americans. BETO O'ROURKE, former U.S
1 / 6Election 2020 DebateFormer Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke listens as former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper speaks during the first of two Democratic presidential primary debates hosted by CNN Tuesday, July 30, 2019, in the Fox Theatre in Detroit. WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential contenders struck off notes on the science of global warming and the state of the economy in their Detroit debate Tuesday night.
PETE BUTTIGIEG, mayor of South Bend, Indiana:"Science tells us we have 12 years before we reach the horizon of our catastrophe when it comes to our climate." "The hotter it gets, the worse it gets, but there is no cliff edge," James Skea, co-chairman of the report, told The Associated Press. THE FACTS: The nations most concerned with climate change certainly do not consider the U.S. a"template" for a solution. Americans per capita are among the world's biggest emitters of climate-changing carbon. The U.S. is also the top oil and natural gas producer, pumping out more fossil fuels on the front end.
THE FACTS: On paper, the Vermont senator is right. In real life, if he's elected president, the result might be quite different. If Sanders is elected president, a Congress grappling with how to pass his plan may well pare back some of its promises. So there's no guarantee that benefits"will be better" for everybody, particularly people who now have the most generous health insurance.TIM RYAN, U.S. representative from Ohio:"The economic system that used to create 30, 40, 50 dollar-an-hour jobs that you could have a good solid middle class living now forces us to have two or three jobs just to get by.

Alien Still Hasn't Gotten Around To Listening To Whole Voyager Golden Record47 U. MAJORIS STAR SYSTEM—Roughly 18 months after discovering the collection of common Earth sounds contained on the golden record placed aboard the Voyager probe NASA launched in 1977, extraterrestrial Richard Ellinger, 237, admitted Friday he still hasn&39;t gotten around to listening to the whole thing. "The wind, rain, and surf sounds are pretty cool, but I usually sort of zone out when it gets to the crickets chirping, and then I just end up turning it off," said Ellinger, adding that he will sometimes put the record on as background noise when he&39;s cleaning his electro-biological habitat. "And to be totally honest, I almost always skip that track with the mother kissing her baby. It&39;s like, &39;Who cares?&39; you know?" Ellinger said he plans on taking a few things he likes off the record—such as the traditional Peruvian wedding song, the humpback whale calls, and the tractor noises—and throwing them on a mix with some Elvis Costello classics.
