This is such an important concern. We’re so far away from making substantial changes to our over-consumption and pollution because we don’t even talk about real issues in the election cycle anymore. Climate change is the greatest threat to the world order, to the younger generations, and causes existential grief and anxiety in people. Yet, it’s nowhere to be seen on the national stage. Dems are only barely running a green platform, and the elderly leaders we have are so far removed from the consequences of the damage they’ve done, it seems to be of little interest. Only the young and powerless in congress are speaking out, and the dissenting voices of MAGA are so damaging…
If we can’t fix gun control, which has horrific-front page consequences, I have little faith we can fix climate policy.
