    Jessica Scarane: Green New Deal:tackle climate change AND economic inequality

    Scarane said a lot of the problems she has dealt with through her volunteer activities are caused by "broken systems and power in our country that are allowing for the protection of very few and the abuse of very many."

    Scarane is a supporter of the 'green new deal' initiative that addresses climate change as well as economic inequality. She cited Delaware as one of the states that will be on the "front lines" of the effects of climate change because it lies so close to sea level.

    Lauren Witzke: No Paris Accord until China and India stop CO2 emissions

    Q: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy?

    A: No.

    Q: Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions?

    A: No. Despite withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, America's carbon emissions have dropped more drastically even than those countries in the Accord. Until China and India stop their pollution, penalizing American businesses which have, relative to the rest of the world, been good environmental stewards, does not make sense.
