John Hickenlooper, the former Colorado governor turned Democratic presidential candidate, told a crowd of oil executives Thursday climate change required that society move "hard and fast."

Asked whether he supported the so-called Green New Deal as proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., he said he supported its "urgency."

"Obviously it's a very ambitious and maybe excessively ambitious goal," he said, speaking at the CERAWeek by IHS Markit conference in Houston. "I understand this room is probably divided, but I have come down more and more a sense of urgency is required."
