Andrew Yang unveils $4.87 trillion policy to address climate change

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang unveiled an aggressive policy proposal to address climate change at a gathering of supporters in New Hampshire.

I don’t know whether to thumbs up because it’s about yang whom I support, or thumbs down for cbs for their lack of reporting.

[marcelocoronel]

A new park in your neighborhood won't fix anything. Climate change needs to be addressed with a scientific eye, a lot needs to be done. Yang gets it. #YangGang

[FrostLord]

CBS can you all please stop twisting word's and facts and report actual news?? #Googleandrewyang

[misternightstar]

From the cheap title to the robotically-delivered list of "negatives" in the plan, this report is dripping with manipulative language against Yang, encouraging people to draw false conclusions. Instead, people can just Google Andrew Yang and get the story from him without your help, if this is your idea of journalism.

Too many people including journalists really don’t understand what Yang’s talking about. It just goes over their heads. I saw one journalist ridicule him for wanting to eliminate the penny for example. But it costs more to produce a penny to make one so why keep it around? How can we expect these people to understand the more complicated issues?

They’re called thorium based reactors lady. At least investigate your chemistry because this is what nuclear physicists have been promoting, there’s no debate on that.

[slurricrasher]

Some of the worst biased journalism I have ever seen.

[Jon-brco]

Thorium based nuclear power plants... Yeah, that's the way to do it!

[HeavyMetal-jyvj]

Well if Yang can get it done for 5T over Bernies 12+T I say Yang wins.

[JustinSorensen]

Andrew Yang is too smart for the news is what I'm realizing and that's going to be a trend for all politicians in the future while our news focuses on entertainment for fools instead of education. We need PBS to get more funding under Yang.

[MrGnidlih]

Reforestation is actually something we can start with right away, it's low tech, relatively cheap and could be a global initiative.

[Adam-gytw]

MSM ignores Yang until he mentions Nuclear Energy. Smh.

[bouncehouseofficial]

I love how she's worried about waste that will last for 1000s of years when she should be trippin about the next 100 years.

[abe]

Seems extreme, but not when you consider the current impact of climate change.

[sunst]

Mr Yang, a wise man.
He will definitely made America great for common citizens.

[johnathan.matthew]

I am so, so disgusted right now. This is irresponsible presentation. You don’t have to love-spin him but at least convey his ideas accurately.

[starkeclipse]

Did they purposefully pick reporters that sound like emotionless robots...?

[disabledfetus]

5 trillion that's only 10 percent of the US military buget

[hpcmagik]

At least he’s doing something. Though many of you are against higher ground.

[The_Tauri]

Higher ground is important - just ask Anakin Skywalker.
