Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris has named climate change as a threat to American freedom.

He says climate change is more than an environmental issue, but it's a threat we must confront, as a nation.

The climate crisis threatens the most basic freedom of all to build a life, support a family and leave our kids a livable world, he says.

Zelizer says Harris has been standing up to Big Oil and other polluters for two decades .

She’s ready to press those gains forward from day one as president. She’s the leader we need to confront the existential challenge of our time and keep us free from climate hazards and harm. Robert Redford is an actor, director and environmental advocate..
