Why Climate Change Is Dangerous for Democratic Presidential Candidates

21. Yes. As I said. We can't reverse it at this point, even w/extreme measures.

Not in the foreseeable future, anyway. That's not what the actions would do or be intended to do. That opportunity ended some years ago. But if we don't do some things fast, the climate will get much worse. We can do something about that.

In the meantime, people are being advised to move to areas less affected by climate change (in my case, north), because of increased flooding & hurricanes and extreme heat.

I remember reading warnings about mercury in tuna decades ago. Then, as now, people ignored that. Didn't believe it. I did. It was, after all, a factual thing, easily measured. Fast forward, and now there is mercury in all wild tuna to the point that it's recommended that pregnant women not eat tuna at all, and others limit it to a certain # of ounces/week.

I think young people put climate change high on their list, so any candidate who doesn't address it, is going to have a hard time getting their vote. Of course, the young are the least likely to turn out to vote.
