the rest of the pack, you re at a podium a long line of democrats on a stage. you have 30 seconds to introduce yourself. what s the message of your campaign. look, the liedreality, my fas the message. we need generational change. more voices stepping up from a generation that has so much at stake in the decisioned made now. when i get to 2054, when i get to the age of a president. this is about an era. decisions made in our politics now decide how the next 20, 30, or 40 years will go. is joe biden, bernie sanders, too old to be president? it s not my place to say whether anybody else ought to the president. you ll see older candidates voting for younger candidates, younger candidates voting for older candidates. and that s good. i could always say, shocked. i thought older people would leith me.
well. i m thinking about what the world will look like in 2054. when i get to the current into the current president. and if we do not act aggressively and immediately on climate, is not going to be a pretty picture. chris: are you st. francis that, some of the talk about retrofitting every building in america you try to make the country carbon free by 2030? because that is just unrealistic? we have to do it. chris: by 2030? if we cannot do cara murphy we will do net carbon free which means we are taking out as much of your putting in. bottom line, scientifically, the right year to do that was yesterday. we ve got to do this. the timetable is not being set in congress it is being set by reality.it is being set by science. and it will hit the deadlines,

well. i m thinking about what the world s going to look like in 2054 when i goat to the current age of the current president, and if we don t act aggressively and immediately on climate, it s not going to be a pretty picture. chris: are you saying, for instance, that some of the talk about retrofitting every building in america or trying to make the country carbon-free by 2030, that that s just unrealistic? we re going to have to do it chris: by 2030? if we can t do carbon-free, we ll do net carbon free, which means we re taking out as much as we re putting in. we have got to do this. this timetable isn t being set by congress, it s being set by science, and it s going to hit those deadlines are going to hit with or without us, so we have to act. what thehe green new deal gets right is it realizes there s also a lot of activity in this, retrofitting means a huge amount of building trades in this country.
