Sanders in Iowa

The senator also spent a lot of time talking about climate change. He said some people, like President Donald Trump, just deny it and others wonder how much we can do or how much we can afford.

“How much is too much too protect the very existence of our climate?” he said.

Sanders said we need to get away from fossil fuels and invest heavily in wind, solar and public transportation. He said this is not simply an American issue. As for funding it, he said the country should get together with the other countries and instead of spending trillions of dollars on weapons to kill each other with, we could fight our common enemy, climate change.
