The issue isn't so much, "Is global warming man made?" The urgent question is, "Can human endevour reduce or stop a worrying escalation of global warming?" Most of the scientific community, the Paris Agreement signatories, the Dems and Al Gore seem to think it's worth trying. Even plenty of US industries have declared that they will continue to follow the parametres of the Paris Agreement for fear that their products will be boycotted if they don't. Not wishing to revisit the arguements of the last zillion posts, but it's undeniable that voters do have a voice, consumers do have a voice. Maybe it's not always heard, but that's no reason to stop using it imo.

So choosing to vote for the former is an illusion over voting for the latter? Bull****.

Perhaps the Dems didn't talk much about global warming, but I think they acknowledged its existence, which is step one. They also have a better track record on environmental issues (See Chula's long post about the Dems' environmental stuff that Trump is rolling back.) Green champion Al Gore is ex-Dem himself, and as the sea and the hurricanes come rolling in, and the wildfires too, you may find more politicians mentioning global warming in the future.

For the Nth time, people are ****ing stupid. They simply are not capable of understanding events on a scale beyond the few square miles they will likely be born, live, and die in. We are poo-flinging apes who were never designed by evolution to deal with any of this **** and yet we are recklessly trying to do so with no sense of self-awareness. Human+ is the only reasonable solution to any of this as far as I can tell. We just simply need to be made more intelligent.

There's three camps:
People who pretend not to believe in it People who pretend they're doing something about it People who figure they might as well ignore it (And a few outliers)
