I want to begin by asking you to picture as vividly as possible something that is going to happen in the future. That is the first day that the sun comes up over this country and donald trump is no longer president of the United States. [cheers] [applause] sounds like we are ready for that. [applause] i think it cant come soon enough. It is going to happen one way or the other. It will be a relief when it does , putting the chaos behind us, putting the corruption behind us, putting the tweets behind us. It is going to be a good day. The reason im asking you to picture this is not to give us something to look forward to. Yes, the country will be better off when we no longer have a divider in chief. That is the beginning of the work that comes next. If you picture what it will be like in this country, the sun is going to come up over a United States that is more divided than we are now. Even more polarized over politics. With everything we are about go our countryat day will be exhausted
[ applause ] welcome back to this unprecedented night on cnn, ten democratic president ial candidates, one urgent issue, the Climate Crisis. Scientists tell us we are seeing the consequences of the Climate Crisis now, but that will cross a massive Tipping Point if the world warms more than 1. 5 degrees celsius or 2. 7 degrees fahrenheit. Weve already warmed up the planet one degree celsius since the industrial revolution, so were more than halfway there. We have 11 years to avoid the catastrophic consequences of this crisis, food shortages, rising sea levels, more extreme weather events like Hurricane Dorian thats churning toward the carolinas right now and for the latest on dorian, i want to go to the cnn Hurricane Center and bring in jennifer gray. Jennifer . Wolf, dorian has actually strengthened just a little bit with this latest advisory at 5 00. Now 110 mile per hour winds, just shy of a category 3 actually with the center just offshore. You can see jacksonville to its west, gust
engineering poses major risks. according to last year s report, even aggressive development of carbon removal technology is unlikely to keep warming below 1.5 degrees celsius. absent substantial rapid reductions and emissions. can you quantify the reduction in co 2 attainable from the geo engineering strategies you propose? i want to clarify a point she s making for some of our viewers. her question mentioned 1.5 degrees celsius which is the temperature increase that the international community as you well know considers catastrophic. colombia is a great school. i then when myself. that doesn t make it good. so first geo engineering is not the focus. we have to reduce emissions. if you look at my plan, a fraction of one of the trillions
