Have we forgotten Climate Change?

Seriously. Regardless of your ideal choice for president, can we not agree that this single issue is important enough to put whatever qualms you might have aside and vote for whoever refuses to deny science?

I haven't posted much here since 2004. It's become so divisive. But I feel the need to chime in here. You can make whatever argument you wish for either candidate being BETTER for the environment, but it must be clear that either of them would be better than any republican, and to sit this election out because you didn't get your preferred candidate would be highly irresponsible. It is extremely troubling to see this kind of division when we absolutely must not, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, lose sight of the BIG picture.

And the ability to rally the people to make substantial changes in their lifestyles.


Now what candidate best fits those requirements?
