Listen: Did climate change matter at all in the 2016 presidential election?

This year’s election season was frustrating for anyone hoping to make climate change a bigger part of the national conversation. Yet again, all three debate moderators completely ignored the issue.

Kate Sheppard, an editor at The Huffington Post, captured the frustration felt by many after the third debate finished with no mention of climate change.

Moderators made time for questions about what the candidates admire about one another and the sexual trespasses of Bill Clinton (who is not running for office). But there somehow hasn’t been any time to ask about what is arguably the most pressing global issue currently facing humanity.

This week, we’re talking about how the politics have played out — or not played out — in this strange election. Kate Sheppard is our co-host this week. She joins us to talk about the national race, Clinton’s emails, ratification of the international climate agreement, and a whole range of other issues.
