SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a group of San Francisco Bay Area students squared off over climate change in a sometimes tense exchange captured on video and widely shared on social media. But Feinstein, a 27-year veteran of the Senate, argued that the legislation had no chance of passing the Republican-controlled chamber. The students are members of Sunrise Movement, an activist group that encourages children to combat climate change. Zuckerman said the group had earlier sought a meeting with Feinstein, but the senator’s staff said she was unavailable. It was the students’ decision to call on Feinstein’s San Francisco office on Friday, Zuckerman said .
