During Saturday night’s Democratic debate here, Bernie Sanders stuck to his assessment that climate change is the biggest national security threat facing the United States. The senator from Vermont made the same assertion in the first debate, and he was pressed by CBS News’s John Dickerson, the debate moderator on Saturday, on whether his view had changed in light of the terrorist attacks in Paris a day earlier. Sanders said it had not.
