Sen. Elizabeth Warren says conversations around regulating lightbulbs, banning plastic straws and cutting down on red meat are what the fossil fuel industry wants people focused on as a way to distract from their impact on climate change. ClimateTownHall

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was asked on Wednesday whether he would roll back Trump administration plans to overturn requirements on energy saving lightbulbs. He delivered an emphatic answer.Sanders added: “Look, one of the great things that’s happening and gives us some hope is that there has been an explosion in technology in many, many areas that if we have the political will to utilize that technology, we can maybe save the planet.

Donald Trump’s administration lifted energy efficiency regulations for several common types of light bulbs on Wednesday, which critics believe is the administration’s latest assault on efforts to combat climate change and energy use. Sanders pivoted from the lighthearted answer and made the case for making climate change an international issue.

“Maybe, just maybe, instead of spending a trillion and a half dollars every single year on weapons of destruction designed to kill each other, maybe we pool those resources and we work together against our common enemy, which is climate change,” Sanders said.

Yep it’s working ewarren . Keep speaking we are losing interest. ABCPolitics CBSPolitics NBCPolitics foxnewspolitics nprpolitics realDonaldTrump

Ummm democrats are talking about restricting these things. What is she talking about?

She’s right about one thing these are Distractions from the Real problems, but the Climate Changing is NOT one of them. The Real Story is the COUP against a sitting POTUS.

Wow... SenWarren is one unlikable person...

Are these your best and finest? 🤔 Really, this is a serious question. Looks like a WIN, WIN in 2020 for realDonaldTrump I just need to say to you CNN and the nutty bunch of dimwits running, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 😂😂😂😂😂🖐👍🇺🇸

Just when you think liberals can’t get any more stupid... Looney Lizzy says hold my beer

ClimateChangeHoax

CavalierStamps Yes ewarren ; but it's simultaneously a financial, quality-standard, & health issue. However, that doesn't mean you're wrong.

The international plastic straw convention is fast approaching. Tickets go on sale next week !

Warren is worth $12 million on a government salary while pushing Socialism. Fraud.

Idiots and there climate scare tactics

Cutting down on red meat IS a great way of combating climate change though

DonCheadle Warren: Cuomo: ‘Is that a yes?’ Shut the f up Chris it’s not your stage

Liz2020 = Hillary2016

Warren's new platform-dont like something just ban it.

You know now why she isn't smart enough to be President-We have a way to change over to doing thing without hurting or polluting,water air, food growth,to rid all contamination,we out sourced instead of modern change over cost in USA to high So change over seas ship to our shores

DennisPerkins5 No lies detected.

Pocahontas

socalmd54 gotta day even as a warren stan i don’t appreciate her lumping in the big-ticket item of abstaining from animal products with true distractions like lightbulbs and straws

So banning straws is a fossil fuel lobbying distraction?

100% correct

Hell yeah!

Donnie Dimwit says windmills 'frankly, aren't doing too well.' Gee, that also describes the coal industry, his asinine tariffs, and best of all...his 'popularity' ratings. VoteHimOut

ClimateTownHall Good Point and in a post analysis by VanJones68 her fellow 2020 Candidate SenBooker also added that Nuclear power can also combat climate change in addition to Sen Warren plans

SikhFeminist She’s not fooling anyone.

Speaking of regulating light bulbs

Animal agriculture is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Not a distraction.

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

She’s not wrong. Call out the rightwing bullshit.

SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!!

Isnt that what CNN reports on 24/7 though LOLOL

Pocahontas speak with forked tongue...

Save the world!!!!! Eat mor chikin!!!!

Sounds good, Warren. Except your timeline is 30 years too short. You can't rebuild the entire infrastructure of the US in your time frame. We don't even have battery storage capabilities yet for the power grid. What miracles do you expect to get by throwing money at this?

Is she going to pay carbon tax for all the smoke signals she sends?

SenWarren this I have to agree with you on.

What does a women no about climate change? She will be menopausal, having a hot flush and thinks its bludy global warming! Come to England sweet cheeks, its bludy freezing here. Then tell me global warming is real!

Did she walk there? Ride a bike?

Insane and I couldn't care less about light bulbs, cheese burgers, .... Government fines, jail time for citizens eating meat.

Red meat is life,steaks.......mmmmmsteak.

That’s an odd statement given only 25% of emissions come from energy.

Trueeeeee
