Beto on Global Warming: Scientists Say We Only Have 10 Years Left

‘We won’t meet that challenge with half steps or half measures or only half the country’

RUSH EXCERPT:

O’ROURKE: “I listen to scientists on this, and they are very clear. We don’t have more than ten years to get this right, and we won’t meet that challenge with half steps or half measures or only half the country. We’ve got to bring everyone in. The people of Detroit and those that I listened to in Flint last week, they want the challenge. They want those Jobs. They want to create the future for this country and the world. Those community college students that I met in New Mexico understand that wind and solar Jobs are the fastest growing Jobs in the country and the farmers in Iowa say pay me for the environmental services, the planting cover crops and keeping more land in conservation easements, that’s how we meet the challenge. We do it with everyone in this country. We bring everyone into the solution.”
