• Resumen

  • Nisbet remarks on the third and final US presidential debate. The debate ended without moderating journalist Chris Wallace asking a single question about climate change, and with only a fleeting reference to the issue by one of the candidates. It came as disaster-level drought continues to plague the US West Coast and in the same week that scientists declared September the hottest on record. It was also within days of nearly 200 countries approving yet another historic agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, this time tackling hydrafluorocarbons. In all, across 360 minutes of presidential and vice-presidential debate, climate change received just five-and-half minutes of discussion, all in passing.
