Why don't the Democratic candidates talk more about the positive aspects of climate change ???

Bumper potato crops in Greenland

Lots of jobs for the folks who build levees

More mosquitoes will result in record sales of insecticides

No more insignificant island nations taking up space at UN conferences

A building boom of safe oases for the super rich

Greater research opportunities for tropical disease scientists

Fewer species to keep track of

No more snowball fights in the Senate chamber

A housing boom in the Canadian Arctic

No more dangerous polar bears scaring the daylights out of people

More insects and other bugs for your kids to play with

So many positives, so little discussion
