"Climate Change Emerges As Leading Issue For 2020 Dems"

"Democratic presidential hopefuls are battling to be seen as the climate change candidate.

Four 2020 White House contenders already have offered detailed policy plans on how they'd tackle the issue of global warming, a sign the environment has become a top issue in the Democratic primary.

In the past week, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) each released proposals to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Last month, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) introduced, respectively, a public lands and environmental justice proposal, with each addressing curbing emissions."
