in the 2016 election</b>, because they’re more likely than other
age groups to support Sanders and less likely to vote in general.
Democrats run the risk of losing Sanders holdouts to a third-party
candidate. Nearly seven out of 10 Sanders supporters believe
there’s no daylight between Trump and Clinton on the issues they
care about... young voters don’t recognize how different she is
from Trump. <b>Forty-four percent say there’s no distinction
between the two candidates on transitioning away from fossil
fuels, and 43 percent say there’s no distinction on protecting
air and wate</b><b>r</b>....According to the poll, 21 percent of
millennials are Bernie Sanders supporters who are so disillusioned
with Clinton that they wouldn’t plan to vote for her in a general
election if there are third-party candidates, ....That is alarming
news for Clinton. But the numbers could change. NextGen’s findings
suggest that if Democrats emphasize climate change and clean
energy, they could make progress in winning over this
demographic.... Clinton isn’t interested in focusing much more on
this issue, beyond the usual applause lines. She mentioned in
passing how clean energy will lead to job creation, but she didn’t
dwell on it. <br>

to climate and other factors.<br>
<b>Divestment risk:</b> Shareholder or grassroots activism
that seeks to influence producer companies (and possibly
countries) through financial or reputational means, or investor
avoidance of fossil fuel shares.<br>
<b>Competition risk:</b> Rivalry for market share among
producers seeking to monetize reserves before they are rendered

President Obama and his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, almost
never spoke about it, and it did not come up during their
debates..Mrs. Clinton regularly highlights her plan to combat
global warming, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton,
praised her at the Democratic National Convention last week for
putting it at “the center” of her foreign policy. .....A Gallup
poll in March found that <b>65 percent of Americans believed that
climate change was caused by human activity, an increase of 10
points from a year earlier.</b> The poll found that 38 percent
of Republicans believed the same thing, an increase of four points
from a year earlier. The poll also found that 76 percent of
Americans ages 18 to 29 accepted that human activity is behind
climate change....Republican strategists said it was unclear how
Mr. Trump’s dismissive position on climate change would affect the
party’s future..Hillary Clinton thrusts climate change to the
heart of her campaign, the issue is taking on a prominence it has
never before had in a presidential general election..</div>

to climate and other factors.<br>
<b>Divestment risk:</b> Shareholder or grassroots activism
that seeks to influence producer companies (and possibly
countries) through financial or reputational means, or investor
avoidance of fossil fuel shares.<br>
<b>Competition risk:</b> Rivalry for market share among
producers seeking to monetize reserves before they are rendered
unburnable; competition between fossil and noncarbon sources of
energy.<br>

This video explains why the climate change disinformation campaign
funded by fossil fuel companies, corporations whose economic
interests are threatened by restrictions on fossil fuels, industry
associations, and free-market fundamentalists is morally
reprehensible and inexcusable behavior, in fact perhaps some new
kind of crime against humanity. <b>The video distinguishes the
