It has taken a long time for the general population to wake up enough to how terrible Trump has made everyday life, how much effect the poison he spews minute by minute has had. Now that they are awake I don't think he can hide.

nothing else will matter in 50 to 100 years. Yes, we do need to make other changes now for the betterment of all our lives, more so for some than others, but without doing everything possible about climate change humans will not become extinct but those that are left will have miserable lives. We have 13 great-grandchildren and I worry what are their lives going to be like.
