CNN Lost Their Mind (Again): Guess How Long Their Climate Change Town Hall Is

Just when we thought CNN couldn't get any more pathetic, they prove us wrong...again. The network on Tuesday announced their climate change town hall. The debate, scheduled for Sept. 4th will be seven hours long. Yes, seven hours. The reason? The network wants to give each of the 10 candidates ample time to respond to questions during this "unprecedented prime-time event."

Each of the 10 candidates will be given 40 minutes to discuss their plans to address climate change. Hosts Wolf Blitzer, Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon will act as moderators.

Here's the schedule of events:

• Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro will be interviewed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer at 5 p.m. ET
• Businessman Andrew Yang, who will also be interviewed by Blitzer, will come on at 5:40 p.m.
• California Sen. Kamala Harris will be interviewed by CNN's Erin Burnett at 6:20 p.m.
• Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who will also be interviewed by Burnett, will appear at 7 p.m.
• Former Vice President Joe Biden will be interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper at 8 p.m.
• Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who will also be interviewed by Cooper, will be on at 8:40 p.m.
• Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will be interviewed by CNN's Chris Cuomo at 9:20 p.m.
• South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who will also be interviewed by Cuomo at 10 p.m.
• Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke will appear with CNN's Don Lemon at 10:40 p.m.
• New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker will also be interviewed by Lemon and will come on at 11:20 p.m.

According to previous CNN polls, 96 percent of Democratic voters want "aggressive" action taken to address climate change. 

CNN announced the town hall after the Democratic National Committee voted overwhelmingly last week not to host a debate focused on the issue.

Let's be clear about this: CNN is delusional if they think people are going to watch a seven hour town hall. People can barely handle three hour long debates. But you know what they say... desperate times call for desperate measures. Their ratings are down the toilet and they need something to help revive them.
