Sanders in New Hampshire

To applause, Sanders cited climate change as the greatest threat the country faces.

“Climate change is not a hoax,” he said. “Climate change is a deathly, real reality that is already devastating our country and much of the world. … Scientists from all over the world have told us — and this is really scary stuff — that we have all of 12 years, which is no time at all, to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels.”
