Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan took on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ voice volume while discussing how the U.S. can tackle the issue of climate change, during Tuesday’s second round of primary debates.
“Here is the bottom line. We got to ask ourselves a simple question: What do you do with an industry that knowingly poured billions of dollars in short-term profits is destroying this planet? I say that is criminal activity. That cannot be allowed to continue,” Sanders said.
“I didn’t say we couldn’t get there until 2040. You don’t have to yell,” Ryan responded. “All I’m saying is we have to invent our way out of this thing, and if we’re waiting for 2040 for a ban to come in on gasoline vehicles, we’re screwed.”
Sanders’ voice was softer when it was his time to speak after Ryan concluded his point.
