CNN announces 7-hour ‘climate change town hall’ as sop to fanatics (and to drive away other viewers)
By Thomas Lifson
The Democrats had a big problem, and CNN – which now functions as an arm of that radicalized progressive party -- stepped up to solve it for them. The party leaders in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) realize that The Green New Deal and other similar radical restructuring plans have no appeal to most voters. The majority of people rightly understand that they would have to give up jobs, prosperity, and physical comfort (for starters, right now set your thermostat to 82 degrees on hot summer nights) to combat the “disaster†that computers models spew out when “adjusted†temperature data is fed in.
That is why the DNC announced three days ago that there would be no presidential debate focused on climate change. The last thing they wanted was for their presidential field to be forced by the format of such debates to speak for a couple of minutes and try to satisfy the climate fanatics with a few soundbites that inevitably would be used against them in the general election. That majority whose support is necessary to win in November 2020 is not “woke†in the eyes of the climate fanatics, who fully buy into the apocalyptic religion of climate disaster, the inevitable consequence of the original sin of abusing Mother Gaia.
But the “woke†faction is an important constituency that must not be so alienated that they fail to support the nominee. And they were displeased that their pet obsession was not going to be the focus of a presidential debate.
