Bernie Sanders: If Trump Wins, the ‘Global Climate Change’ Agenda ‘Is Over’

Far-left Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has warned voters that the globalist narrative on “climate change” will be “over” if President Donald Trump wins re-election.
Sanders issued the warning during an appearance on CNN as he attempted to persuade Americans to vote for Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
While making his pitch during an interview with Kaitlan Collins, Sanders declared:
“If you believe that ‘climate change’ is real and an existential threat to our country, and the world, you gotta vote for Kamala because Trump thinks it is a hoax.
“And, by the way, this is an issue that has not been talked enough about in this campaign.
“If Trump wins, the struggle—the global struggle—against climate change is over.
“Because if the largest economy in the world, the United States, pulls back, so will China, so will Europe.”
WATCH:
The call from Sanders comes amid concerns about Harris unleashing a radical climate agenda if she wins the presidency.
As Slay News recently reported, Harris’s new climate chief has declared that the entire fossil fuel industry is a “death cult.”
The Harris campaign hired far-left activist Camila Thorndike to serve as the vice president’s “climate engagement director.”
However, Thorndike’s extreme views are raising some eyebrows.
According to Thorndike, blue-collar oil and gas workers are part of the “toxic patriarchy.”
She argues that the oil and gas industry should be considered “fascism.”
The Harris-Walz campaign brought Thorndike on board as its climate czar in early September.
She had previously worked for socialist Sen. Sanders as a legislative aide drafting climate-related policies.
The activist also served in a senior director post at Rewiring America.
While with Sanders, Thorndike said there is “something evil” about the fossil fuels sector.
She claims that “there’s no greater source of harm than continuing to cook the planet.”
Thorndike has a history of radical climate activism, as highlighted by the Washington Free Beacon.
She has attempted to demonize anyone associated with fossil fuels.
Thorndike has repeatedly claimed that she has had no children because of the fear they would die young.
She asserts that “the fossil fuel industry’s ecoterrorism” is “great birth control.”
“I was 15 when I first saw the climate ‘hockey stick’ graph,” Thorndike said in 2018 when she was the D.C. campaign director for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.
“I realized that this skyrocketing arrow of temperature would take place in my lifetime.
“All of the big milestones of life that I was looking forward to would be in the context of this big global crisis.
“It led to the question of whether or not to have kids – which is still a big question for me – where I would put down roots, what my family would do.”
Again in November 2019, Thorndike described having children as an “ethical question that keeps me up at night.”
“I have always been someone who enjoys children and loves the idea of a family, and that’s why I have wrestled with this because my logical mind and the facts of the future I can see bearing down on us are not supportive of the life I would want for them,” she told Yahoo News at the time.
Harris has also embraced this idea.
During a discussion at the “Fight for Our Freedoms” event in September 2023, Harris said:
“I’ve heard young leaders talk with me about a term they’ve coined called ‘climate anxiety,’ which is fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home.”
WATCH:
In addition, Thorndike has called out the fossil fuel industry as a “death cult.”
She is also urging political and cultural change “to overcome the individualism, white supremacy + toxic patriarchy” that fossil fuel companies “weaponize” against decarbonization.
Taking heat for her own far-left climate agenda, Harris has taken a step back from her previous support for the Green New Deal and a ban on fracking.
It came as Harris seeks to water down her radicalism in the eyes of voters as she hopes to take the vital swing state of Pennsylvania, home to tens of thousands of oil and gas workers.
Yet as the Washington Free Beacon noted, the vice president’s appointment of Thorndike sends a clear signal regarding “the kind of personnel who could staff up a potential Harris administration.”
