CNN's 7-Hour Climate Town Hall Extravaganza Cheered by Activists
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 8/28/19 | Jeremy Barr

Organizations that advocate for the health of the climate and the urgency of global warming are praising CNN after the network announced that its climate-focused town halls next week will run for seven hours.

On Sept. 4, the network will broadcast 10 back-to-back town halls with Democratic presidential candidates focused on climate change, running from 5 p.m. ET to midnight. Network anchors and hosts Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Erin Burnett will do the questioning.

"Tackling the climate crisis is one of the top polling issues among voters this election, which is why it is important that CNN is doing the right thing and devoting so much time to a conversation that the public wants to hear," said Adam Beitman, a spokesman for the Sierra Club. "The network deserves kudos. We’re hopeful that this is just the start of CNN and other TV news outlets devoting much more airtime to the climate crisis, which threatens the health and safety of communities across the country."

**SNIP**

Many climate advocacy organizations are displeased, however, that the Democratic National Committee has not agreed to host a climate-focused candidate debate. "CNN has stepped up where [chairman] Tom Perez and the DNC deliberately dropped the ball," said CREDO Action campaign manager Jelani Drew-Davi. "Seven hours of content focused on the climate crisis is huge for over half a million grassroots activists who pushed the DNC for an official climate debate."

The network's left-leaning competitor, MSNBC, is partnering on a two-day climate change forum at Georgetown University on Sept. 18-19. MSNBC hosts Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi will moderate the forum and interview 2020 candidates about how they would address the crisis.

The Fake News Network and PMSNBC will outRAT the RATS? Sounds about right.

Most of these activists are kids. Today’s kids have the attention span of a slug. I look forward to the terrible ratings.

Tackling the climate crisis is one of the top polling issues among voters this election...

No. It's well down the list of priorities for anyone but activists and the media. I won't be holding my breath for any seven-hour extravaganzas on, say, illegal immigration.

I guess that’s just comic relief, from their 1,000 hour trash trump marathon.

Can you imagine watching, and listening to, Bob O’Rourke and his fellow leftists on stage for 7 hours?

I’ll take a pass on that.

This sounds crazy to me.

What is there really to debate or discuss? ALL of them believe in global warming, all have a religious like faith in it.

The only points of contention will be nuanced differences in how much each candidate wants to spend, and how far they will go to phase out fossil fuels and put up solar panels everywhere, etc.
