Just curious about what people believe has to be done to fix anything

82. None of any of that will make the least bit of difference to any of the real, actual problems...

facing not just the USA but the world. The climate is fucked; South Florida and Louisiana will be underwater by mid-century; the Southwest is in potentially permanent drought conditions and reservoirs millions depend on are being depleted, along with groundwater reserves; agriculutural land that provides 20% of the USA's food is likely to become unviable before too long, and millions of people may end up displaced; the desperate rush to frack and stripmine every last bit of accessible tight oil and tar sands is only going to extend the coming decline of oil supplies by a few years to a decade(while making the climate impact worse by contributing yet more carbon); food and water insecurity, climate change, and potential fuel crises in the near-term future are going to drive global instability (I wouldn't be at all surprised to see another 2008-style crash within a decade). I'm not sure how electing yet more people with the same old tired and doomed ideas is going to make much of anything better or avert any of the very real problems that are approaching.
