href="/w/index.php?title=Political_positions_of_Bernie_Sanders&action=edit&section=94" title="Edit section: Energy and climate">edit</a>]</div> On March 30, 2017, two days after Trump signed an "Energy Independence" executive order, Sanders called Trump's choice to prioritize job creation over climate change "nonsensical, and stupid, and dangerous", and noted that scientists report that human activity is causing "devastating problems", while Trump and his allies believe climate change is a "hoax".<a href="#cite_note-457">[457]</a> In May 2018, Sanders and <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren" title="Elizabeth Warren">Elizabeth Warren</a> wrote a letter to President Trump, calling on the president to select an individual who takes climate change seriously as his next Homeland Security adviser, warning that without "a dedicated federal effort to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gasses that human activity releases into the atmosphere, climate change will continue to worsen and cause increasingly severe weather events, including hurricanes", and that climate change had previously and would continue to "have a tangible and harmful impact on our national security and disaster readiness".<a href="#cite_note-458">[458]</a> In October 2018, after Director of the National Economic Council <a href="/wiki/Larry_Kudlow" title="Larry Kudlow">Larry Kudlow</a> disputed a report by the United Nations warning the world to slash emissions by 45 percent before 2030 in order to avert the atmosphere possibly warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, Sanders stated that they had "12 years to substantially cut the amount of carbon in our atmosphere, or this planet, our country, the rest of the world, is going to suffer irreversible damage." Sanders added that the Trump administration "virtually does not even recognize the reality of climate change" and was "making a bad situation worse" by working with the Fossil Fuel industry.<a href="#cite_note-459">[459]</a> In November 2018, after the federal government released a report that found climate change had led to temperature increases and sea levels rising and warned that the effects of climate change would "lead to more intense wildfires, floods, and other disasters if left unchecked", Sanders called for Congress to "take Trump on, take the fossil fuel industry on, and transform our system to sustainable energy" which he asserted would result in the US leading the world in saving the planet and producing "millions of decent paying jobs". Sanders added that he was amazed the US had "an administration right now that still considers climate change to be a hoax" and that the issue was not up for debate given climate change's verification by the science community.<a href="#cite_note-460">[460]</a> In May 2019, Sanders said that his most profound difference with President Trump on climate change policy was Trump "maintaining the myth that climate change is a hoax", and maintained that Trump was working to ensure the US had more carbon emissions. Sanders mocked Trump as "a profound scientist, someone who's researched the issue for years and uniquely came up with that conclusion", and alluded to Trump's comments the previous month in which the latter stated that the noise wind turbines emit cause cancer.<a href="#cite_note-461">[461]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="War_and_peace">War and peace</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Political_positions_of_Bernie_Sanders&action=edit&section=95" title="Edit section: War and peace">edit</a>]</div> In an April 7, 2017, statement, Sanders expressed disapproval of Trump's <a href="/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike" title="2017 Shayrat missile strike">ordered airstrike</a> on Syria from the previous day: "If there's anything we should've learned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in which the lives of thousands of brave American men and women and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan civilians have been lost and trillions of dollars spent, it's that it's easier to get into a war than out of one."<a href="#cite_note-462">[462]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Special_Counsel_investigation">Special Counsel investigation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Political_positions_of_Bernie_Sanders&action=edit&section=96" title="Edit section: Special Counsel investigation">edit</a>]</div> In February 2017, Sanders was one of twenty-six senators to sign a letter to the <a href="/wiki/Election_Assistance_Commission" title="Election Assistance Commission">Election Assistance Commission</a> (EAC), requesting the commission detail cyber-security challenges to state and local officials amid their attempts to safeguard future elections, and also secure the 2016 election from Russian hackers.<a href="#cite_note-463">[463]</a> In July 2018, following Special Counsel <a href="/wiki/Robert_Mueller" title="Robert Mueller">Robert Mueller's</a> indictment of twelve Russian intelligence officers in the 2016 hacking of the DNC, Sanders said the indictments "strongly suggests that the interference was directed from the highest levels of the Russian government". Sanders advocated for Mueller to be allowed "to continue his investigation free of pressure", and called for President Trump to relay to Russian President <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Putin" title="Vladimir Putin">Vladimir Putin</a> that the United States would not tolerate Russian interference in either American elections or those of the country's allies.<a href="#cite_note-464">[464]</a> In April 2019, after the Justice Department released a redacted version of the <a href="/wiki/Mueller_Report" class="mw-redirect" title="Mueller Report">Mueller Report</a>, Sanders released a statement, saying in part: "It is clear that Donald Trump wanted nothing more than to shut down the Mueller investigation. While we have more detail from today's report than before, Congress must continue its investigation into Trump's conduct and any foreign attempts to influence our election." Sanders also called for work to be done that would ensure the protection of "our future elections from the significant threat of foreign interference", and requested President Trump and Republican leadership cease their obstruction of "the necessary work to protect our democracy".<a href="#cite_note-465">[465]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Interest_group_ratings">Interest

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement Thursday after the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal net neutrality protections: "Once again, the Trump administration has sided with big money and against the interests of the American people. The FCC's vote to end net neutrality is an egregious attack on our democracy. With this decision the internet and its free exchange of information as we have come to know it will cease to exist. The end of net neutrality protections means that the internet will be for sale to the highest bidder, instead of everyone having the same access regardless of whether they are rich or poor, a big corporation or small business, a multimedia conglomerate or a small online publication. At a time when our democratic institutions are already in peril, we must do everything we can to stop this decision from taking effect."</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=sanders.senate.gov&rft.atitle=Bernie+Sanders%2C+U.S.+Senator+for+Vermont+%E2%80%93+Sanders+Statement+on+FCC+Decision+to+Repeal+Net+Neutrality&rft.date=2017-12-14&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sanders.senate.gov%2Fnewsroom%2Frecent-business%2F-sanders-statement-on-fcc-decision-to-repeal-net-neutrality&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APolitical+positions+of+Bernie+Sanders" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-162"><a href="#cite_ref-162">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation news cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/205743-senate-dems-protest-fcc-plan-for-internet-fast-lanes/">"Senate Dems protest FCC plan for Internet 'fast lanes'"</a>.
