If I were to vote in a presidential

If Biden doesn't run, I'm with Jay. roamer65 Mar 2019 #95

He's the only candidate who's been a Governor. Why would he be better as a DOE secretary? n/t pnwmom Mar 2019 #72

He's great but Byronic Mar 2019 #112

I totally agree! Harris can bring in at least two demographics -- women and African Americans. ancianita Mar 2019 #13

Yep. That's my dream ticket, too. calimary Mar 2019 #51

If Kamala Harris is not on the ticket crazycatlady Mar 2019 #22

Or as a future SCOTUS Associate Justice. calimary Mar 2019 #53

I agree, except that that's a full West Coast ticket. LisaM Mar 2019 #79

If Joe doesnt run, I will swtich my preference to Jay. roamer65 Mar 2019 #12

I agree he is definitely the candidate for climate change frazzled Mar 2019 #18

I recommend David Wallace-Wells' "The Uninhabitable Earth."(2019) It convinces me: climate change ancianita Mar 2019 #27

Yes, if we don't get a climate-change president it will be bad frazzled Mar 2019 #31

Watch the news... it's already bad. Climate change isn't coming. It's already started. Bucky Mar 2019 #54

How insulting frazzled Mar 2019 #58

Please don't take insult where none's intended. It really is SO much worse than media show. ancianita Mar 2019 #64

Here's a picture of what you and Inslee are talking about. From a little over a year ago. ancianita Mar 2019 #65

What also struck me was a look at the African continent. calimary Mar 2019 #68

We all should. We've passed over the climate change threshhold. Inslee is the visionary gamechanger ancianita Mar 2019 #71

I don't freaking need convincing! frazzled Mar 2019 #142

You're not my only audience here, so just calm down about what I wrote two whole days ago. ancianita Mar 2019 #143

Then try not replying to my post frazzled Mar 2019 #144

I agree with all of that and I think LuvNewcastle Mar 2019 #141

Sorry. All the wealth and knowledge of it in the world won't matter past 2 degrees Celsius. ancianita Mar 2019 #37

I spent 17 years in WA state before moving out at140 Mar 2019 #42

We'll see in the debates. Inslee has more facts packed into his politics than anyone I know. ancianita Mar 2019 #44

If debates mattered that much, we'd have Hillary right now Lulu KC Mar 2019 #102

When the climate numbers out there come out in debates, they'll matter a helluva lot. And suddenly. ancianita Mar 2019 #106

I do hope so--no laughing matter n/t Lulu KC Mar 2019 #139

Sadly, that's IT. Right there. calimary Mar 2019 #66

I went to HS with him mntleo2 Mar 2019 #40

He looks squeaky clean against oppo research, doesn't he. ancianita Mar 2019 #45

...and if he doesn't get the nod - make him EPA or Energy secretary. tinrobot Mar 2019 #43

Harris-O'Rourke with Inslee leading the EPA. Garrett78 Mar 2019 #47

Ask them how they will prioritize climate change energy infrastructure change. ancianita Mar 2019 #49

That's an impressive surge in DU's poll, jumping 1% to 3% overnight Bucky Mar 2019 #52

I think he's trying to actually save beaches so DU can keep its swimsuit competition. ancianita Mar 2019 #55

We have lots of good Democrats running, but Governor Inslee is on top of the list now for me trickyguy Mar 2019 #57

Thank you! I'm so glad you're reading this book. If enough of us do, it's the game changer ancianita Mar 2019 #60

They all are supposed to support the Democratic Party Platform. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #78

I'm in for Kamala, but I'll happily vote for Inslee if he wins the primary. I like him! Squinch Mar 2019 #76

This! yuiyoshida Mar 2019 #91

I am VERY interested in him. I need to research him more. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #77

Yep. He and Harris are the IT factor for the election. Harris/Inslee or Inslee/Harris in 2020. ancianita Mar 2019 #81

I don't think I'd vote for Harris as the nominee. So that is not an option for me. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #86

I tend to agree. But I'd also put it to you that she's a quick study. ancianita Mar 2019 #90

Well, maybe. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #94

I am equally impressed by him. debsy Mar 2019 #80

He was my congress person, now my governor. Buzz cook Mar 2019 #82

Of course climate change is the most important issue before humanity. But... NNadir Mar 2019 #99

Know why green hasn't beaten fossil energy yet? First To Market. That's all you've proven. ancianita Mar 2019 #103

I have 30 years under my belt... NNadir Mar 2019 #107

Sorry, your cred's not convincing.Renewable energy is the only path through, even if not out of, ancianita Mar 2019 #108

You are absolutely free to hold science and scientists... NNadir Mar 2019 #111

I'm pretty sure that I don't hold panicked climate scientists in contempt, but in highest regard. ancianita Mar 2019 #121

Again, my opinion on so called "renewable energy" is... NNadir Mar 2019 #132

So all that you've concluded is that, in 30 years, papers have shown disturbing flaws; and THAT, ancianita Mar 2019 #133

Technologies clearly exist that WILL work to address climate change. NNadir Mar 2019 #136

Thanks for your posts. I'm old, too, not a scientist, and with only familiarity on climate issues, ancianita Mar 2019 #140

You don't have more years in environmental technology and policy than me marylandblue Mar 2019 #135

You do realize what happened in the industrial revolution, don't you? NNadir Mar 2019 #137

You sure say a lot for someone not trying to convince anyone of anything. marylandblue Mar 2019 #138

This has got to be my favorite... NNadir Mar 2019 #145

Of course, no one's plan in full will ever pass, or be 100% effective. It's a starting point. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #115

Well said, I think. NNadir Mar 2019 #117

An Inslee/Harris ticket is the way to go. They're both smart and appealing candidates. trickyguy Mar 2019 #100

Actually, I think I like a Harris/Inslee combo better... Raster Mar 2019 #101

Sanders is my current Primary choice, Inslee is my current Governor. chwaliszewski Mar 2019 #104

POTUS won't matter once the Earth passes the 2 degree Celsius mark. I'm shocked people don't see ancianita Mar 2019 #105

The actions taken to address climate change won't depend on which Democrat is in the White House. Garrett78 Mar 2019 #110

Climate disasters don't care. Except WE do. We want the BEST Democrat in the WH. ancianita Mar 2019 #118

It's time for us to see ahead better. And plan accordingly. Governor Inslee is ON IT. ancianita Mar 2019 #120

You completely missed the point, but it's all good. Garrett78 Mar 2019 #122

Maybe. Thanks for reading. If anyone cares to clarify what you've said, I'd appreciate it. ancianita Mar 2019 #123

Thanks for the lecture. chwaliszewski Mar 2019 #114

Don't give me another thought. Let the next climate disaster "lecture" you. ancianita Mar 2019 #119

You're talking to me as if I've never heard of climate change before. chwaliszewski Mar 2019 #126

It's not meant as a lecture. Only a perspective that needs foregrounding in the election. ancianita Mar 2019 #128

Fair enough. chwaliszewski Mar 2019 #130

He's my second choice. Turin_C3PO Mar 2019 #109
