We're talking about the Democrats aren't we? They lost the election didn't they? That was my point.
Perhaps the Dems didn't talk much about global warming, but I think they acknowledged its existence, which is step one. They also have a better track record on environmental issues (See Chula's long post about the Dems' environmental stuff that Trump is rolling back.) Green champion Al Gore is ex-Dem himself, and as the sea and the hurricanes come rolling in, and the wildfires too, you may find more politicians mentioning global warming in the future.
