On the first night of the first Democratic presidential primary debate in Miami, on June 26, only 6% of the moderators’ questions were about the climate crisis. The five moderators posed a total of 82 questions to the participating candidates and just five of the questions centered on climate change. Only five of the 10 candidates were asked about climate change; the other half were not invited to discuss the topic.
