The elephant (not the GOP symbol) in the room

Climate change will not be denied, nor ignored. Math, like the cliche goes, doesn't give a crap about politics. Neither does the effect of modern industrial civilization on our environment.

With any luck I'll be dead when NYC is underwater, but what about my grandkids?

This is not politics, it is blind denial.

Billions will die. Billions with a "B".

And the band on the Titanic played on.

And this is one of the main reasons that I support Bernie. No one else running for president has addressed this problem with the urgency that is required. Incremental change will not be enough, and that is what we will get with Hillary. With any of the Republicans, the crisis will just be accelerated.
