He really does look like a year old dish sponge after chili night.
While the environment is very important, I think this is the least important reason Trump should not be president.
- Yeah, we can just get a different planet. I'm sure Venus will be ready by the time I'm about to retire.
  
  I might have left it in the microwave too long.
- It's actually probably the most important reason. It's arguably the biggest existential threat we've ever faced. It seems we might not be stupid enough to nuke ourselves into oblivion, but our willingness to slowly march to the destruction of our way of life and the suffering of billions of people might be what actually does us in.
  
  Yep, and climate change is also a stressor that makes large scale war more and more likely.
- Yeah, preserving earth is pretty important for not dying and all, but non of that is going to happen if this guy builds a dictatorship that favors fossil fuel oligarchs.
- People are motivated by a variety of issues. I'm happy to make sure that people who care about this one know how the two candidates' likely policies differ.
  
  Good point.
That’s the headline du jour?
Son, if trump wins, it’s going to be so much worse than critically excessive carbon emissions. Sure, yes, that’s bad but if that’s your take-away from the concept, you’re really not grokking the horror.
- It's one of many reasons to not vote for him. But I know and talk climate in a way that I can't always do in detail on other issues.
How much co2 does the traitor filth generate through purchasing orange spray paint?
