Five Democratic presidential candidates in the span of 24 hours have released sweeping plans to address climate change, ahead of a series of town halls devoted to the issue.
The flurry of plans comes ahead of a CNN town hall event on global warming, which 10 Democrats seeking the White House plan to attend.
The forums come after liberals had demanded that the Democratic Party focus at least one debate on climate change, but a climate debate resolution was defeated at the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting last month.
Many Democrats see climate change as an urgent crisis.
The issue is so urgent among Democratic voters that Washington Gov. Jay Inslee made action to limit the worst extremes of climate change the core of his presidential bid.
Inslee would not have been invited to Wednesday's climate change forum, either, having fallen short of the polling criteria.
Among Democrats seeking the presidency, there is little disagreement that climate change is a building disaster.
