When you say climate change is ignored, you identify a collective state of denial of a fundamental truth. Climate change at this point, I think, is like 'death' as a topic. Absolutely everyone is going to DIE, but no one on the debate stage talked about that. I'm sure that in both cases, the candidates see the topic as only a way to lose votes.I'm glad you found one of those in that unabashed shit-show, because from where I sat it looked like old men and opportunists with typically inflated egos and delusions of self-grandeur scoring Twitter points on age-old topics while ignoring what should absolutely be the #1 issue of any debate, and doing it -- mind-blowingly -- on a stage in a city where sea level rise could displace up to 200 million people, causing unimaginable social catastrophe. And all with the news story backdrop of the third 500 year European heatwave in recent memory. But, yeah, she's a real corker alright.
EXCEPT for Jay Inslee! Why does everyone ignore Jay Inslee? The man who says climate change is the first priority, and the second priority, and the third priority! Is the conventional wisdom about the topic being political poison correct?
