While I’m not a fan of political attack ads, I have to say this one hit the nail on the head…

I hate the “I am not a scientist” line and have ranted about that previously but this shows that all Republican candidates are insane for denying that climate change is occurring and it’s possible for one of them to become the President!  The science is clear, on average the planet is warming which means we’ll have more and more extreme weather events.

Hillary Clinton put out this video which I thought was pretty good and it’s nice to see her environmental position.  I may disagree with many of her other positions but it’s nice to see she’s taking green concerns seriously.

Going renewable makes so much sense, once the infrastructure has been laid all the energy produced is essentially free so there shouldn’t be any hold up but big business is getting in the way because the fossil fuel industry stands to lose a lot of money.  I always found it ridiculous that the pursuit of money is more important than the survival of our species…  Make no mistake the planet will go on sustaining life but whether we can adapt to the new conditions is the unknown factor.

To my American friends, don’t believe the lies that the Right spews and god will not save us from this problem.  We can make a difference and the US as leader of the world needs to take the first step and show the other countries that when there’s a political will, there’s also a way forward.
