Debate about climate change in first GOP primary debate was a ‘disaster for the party’s brand’
MSNBC 
Republican Presidential hopefuls fought for second place at the first GOP primary debate, in the shadow of former President Donald Trump, who did not attend. Michael Steele and Tim Miller join Andrea Mitchell to discuss the chaos that erupted at the debate in Milwaukee, WI. “For on that stage, no one to raise their hand, and no one, not even the, you know, quote unquote, normal candidates, raised their hand and said that climate change is real, and then for Vivek to go out there and say it was a hoax, it was just a disaster for the party’s brand, and on top of all the Trump stuff,” Miller said.

About The Author
The reason why liberals like the idea of climate change and pandemics is because it gives meaning to their pathetic lives. It gives them the false sense of being morally superior and grants them the illusion that they are part of a solution when in fact they are just puppets 😂.
Why wasn't Trump there?
A disaster by lefty definition really means nothing nowadays
The Republicans were very underwhelming this debate. Nobody really showed up as strong, which is bad. The fact that the country is polling Biden, who is a braindead, incoherent, greedy, corrupt, selfish, apathetic, hospice patient ahead of these candidates is frankly pathetic. A mop would be a more desirable candidate than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
And with Trump being politically persecuted and still pretty unpopular amongst independents, as strong as he is as a candidate, I don’t think he can win again.
The only Democrat that isn’t a rabid authoritarian socialist is Robert Kennedy Jr. At this point, he looks to be the only decent candidate right now that could actually win this thing that most rationally-thinking people could actually live with.
You climate change people complain and complain yet Japan dumps nuclear waste water into the Pacific and you say nothing?
Fox did a horrible job with this Debate!!!!! TRUMP2024!!!!❤❤❤❤ No wonder there Ratings are down !!!
Nikki Haley: "It's Not That Israel Needs America, America Needs Israel"
Even seeing the analysts reactions to the debate shows divide we have in America. Practically every take on the left was that DeSantis flopped in the debate, but you look at practically every poll and conservative voters indicate they think he won the debate. I think he did very little, but I’m also not one of these conservative Republicans who are going to be voting in the primary, so what they think probably matters most.
To the people in this comment section, what is one thing Democrats have done to combat climate change aside from increasing subsidies for products most Americans can’t afford involving companies that, without fail, will raise the price of their product to match it?
We have climate change. It’s called summer, fall, winter and spring.
It’s interesting that YouTube puts the OLD UN position on climate change not the updated in which they have abandoned the NET Zero initiative as unnecessary and likely to cause needless global starvation. CLIMATE ALARMISTS have caused massive NEEDLESS starvation with 400,000 dead in Syria and EU printing and distributing insect cookbooks because of banned pesticides that pose no risk to human and almost no risk to animal life and the breadbasket of Europe in the Netherlands being forced by the EU to turn productive farm land into open fields FOR NO REASON.
You worry about crap that is more junk science than fact I’ll worry about my NEIGHBORS. First quarter of 2023, 600,000 jobs lost putting unemployment 100,000 higher than when Biden took over and higher than any point during pre covid Trump. Car repos 13% up Evictions 15% up foreclosures 10% up and increasing fast and predicted to surpass the 2011 crisis THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE FALLING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE THAN ANY TIME OTHER THAN THE DEPRESSION. Oakland Portland Seattle and San Francisco have all declared CRIME EMERGENCIES for crime the democrats and the media deny is happening. ALLOWING BIDEN TO SAY HE CUT THE DEFICIT WHEN THE AMOUNT HE’S GIVING TO UKRAINE ON ITS OWN DOUBLES IT. We can’t feed or protect out selfs
Vivek spoke often because the other candidates targets him and he is allowed a chance to respond. Vivek is exciting because he does not appear establishment as the others.
If you believe in evolution, you have no reason to think "climate change" is bad. Its just a natural occurance. Change is what evolution is all about.
Why is msnbc so racist against Asians……Indians directly in this situation!!! It is disgusting!!!
Nikki brought the A game. As a reformed Eisenhower Republican, if she was 80% less wrong on the issues I might almost like her.
Todays world United Nations is the authority and gives the definition for climate change. UN are a pos and are panhandling grifters. Zero carbon means zero people. They want us all dead. Green New Deal has declared war on humanity "I will end the use of fossil fuels" says Joepedo Biden, those were fighting words.
These are the people that might make the ballot after Trump gets disqualified by the Supreme Court.
climate change is a scam. Constant propaganda from the MSM and social networks (except X which is the only free platform for open discussion and not censored)
It's time for young brains to lead the country and not the expired brains..
Climate change will be the driver of the authoritarian control over people! Wake up people!
Hottest day near Chicago yesterday on record was like 1905 js and heart index got to 115+
Americans didn't learn a single thing from the debate. What do they stand for? How can they fix problems in the USA? None. Problems facing Americans? No questions. They stand for What? Only heard raise your hand for what? kindergarten all over again. Terrible debate. Fox, you have wrongly asked questions. Poor journalism; the candidates are not in the classroom. They are there to tell us how they plan to fix our country's problems? (Who is the skinny guy? Who cares?).
Climate change ""agenda""is a Hoax
Nature and Cornell Ornithology released their annual Northern Plains songbird survey. What they found is shocking: oil & gas fracking has little impact on bird populations, but toxic bT GMO corn/soy 'renewable biofuel' farming is a Sixth Extinction on wildlife. Every time you eat a bag of toxic bT corn chips, you are exterminating wildlife!
So it's not surprising when we find the University deep fake 'HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD!' in July was an AI COMPUTER SIMULATION, during 3 days Congress was voting on Green Slush Funding added to the bloated $T Pentagon budget. Every time you feed your pet toxic bT corn kibble, you are exterminating your pets … and you!!
Republicans and politicians around the world are gonna get us all killed from climate change.
My part for Global Warming is to burn as much High Octane Race gas as possible just for fun at the Race Track! From the Republican point of view Trump won by 120 million viewers and Vivek blew everyone away and won by a mile. I don't know what the heck you people were watching! All Rinos are Banned from the Republican Party. Michael did you sell out like Biglee or what! Did they get some Bohemian Grove videos on you or what!
nikki haley is the best one, in an ideal world, she would win the nommination, she oblierated vivek over ukraine and foreign policy, I would vote for wonder woman, aunt may, if I was in new hampshire
Ecological grief (or eco-grief), or in particular climate grief, refers to the sense of loss that arises from experiencing or learning about environmental destruction or climate change. Environmental grief can be defined as "the grief reaction stemming from the environmental loss of ecosystems by natural and man-made events." Another definition is "the grief felt in relation to experienced or anticipated ecological losses, including the loss of species, ecosystems, and meaningful landscapes due to acute or chronic environmental change." Environmental disruption, such as the loss of biodiversity, or even the loss of inanimate environmental features like sea ice, cultural landscapes, or historic heritage can also cause negative psychological responses, such as ecological grief or solastalgia. Solastalgia (/ˌsɒləˈstældʒə/) is a neologism, formed by the combination of the Latin words sōlācium (comfort) and the Greek root -algia (pain, suffering, grief), that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change. It is best described as the lived experience of negatively perceived environmental change. A distinction can be made between solastalgia linked to distress about what is in the process of negatively perceived change and eco-anxiety linked to what may happen in the future (associated with "pre-traumatic stress", in reference to post-traumatic stress). Eco-anxiety (short for ecological anxiety and also known as eco-distress or climate-anxiety) has been defined as "a chronic fear of environmental doom". Extensive studies have been done on ecological anxiety, and various definitions remain in use. Another widely cited definition is: "the generalized sense that the ecological foundations of existence are in the process of collapse." Some scholars use the term eco-anxiety as a synonym for climate-anxiety, while others like to treat the terms separately. While much ecological disruption results from climate change, some is caused by direct human activity, such as deforestation. The condition is not a medical diagnosis and is regarded as a rational response to the reality of climate change; however, severe instances can have a mental health impact if left without alleviation. There is also evidence that eco-anxiety is caused by the way researchers frame their research and their narratives of the evidence about climate change: if they do not consider the possibility of finding any solution to overcome climate change and for individuals to make a difference, they contribute to this feeling of powerlessness. Eco-anxiety is an unpleasant emotion, though it can also motivate useful behavior such as the gathering of relevant information. However, it can also manifest as conflict avoidance, or even be "paralyzing". The Holocene extinction, or Anthropocene extinction, is the ongoing extinction event during the Holocene epoch. The extinctions span numerous families of plants and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, and affecting not just terrestrial species but also large sectors of marine life. With widespread degradation of biodiversity hotspots, such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, which goes unrecorded. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at hundred to thousand times higher than natural background extinction rates, and is increasing.
Imagine being born in the most dominant, richest nation in world history with the longest life spans and least disease any human ever lived with. Your children will inherit the same, but then you throw it all away because you wanted a better percentage return on the percentage of your stock portfolio invested in energy. You gave it all away for a percent of a percent.
All the Republicans what is cheap gas and they could care less about the future of mankind because they want to look good to their supporters
kislux , is my favorite counterfeit bag seller, his luxury bags always stand out with excellent quality and exquisite craftsmanship, when it comes to price, I think you will thank me, who doesn't want to achieve bag freedom?
Pure logic ;
Its better to do something and be wrong than doing nothing and be wrong.
Even if you don't believe that climate change is man-made, you should definitely act / live / vote as if it were , simply because the negative consequences of being wrong are so much greater than the positive consequences of being right.
Most conservatives see thru the lies of Climate Change… but hey Fox News is known for pushing the liberal agenda. 🤮 Climate Change is 100% bull 💩
You can clearly see the propaganda by how its made. News = corrupt. government = corrupt. Its the rich guys who are in charge. Greetings from Holland
