It's not climate change, it's climate catastrophe that is the most important issue of the campaign.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves. It’s not climate change, it’s climate catastrophe that the planet is facing. Global temperatures are rising at rates at the highest end of the climate prediction models, and the rate of rise will mean that our grandchildren will face a climate catastrophe that will dramatically change all life on earth. Food supplies will collapse, governments will fail, diseases will become unmanageable on a global scale, and the human race be reduced to a mere fraction of what it is today, or it may become extinct.

I’ve worked in the field for over thirty years. But don’t believe me, I’m a nobody.
Take a few hours and do you own research. Throw away your preconceived notions and political, social and religious prejudices and study the science – it isn’t that difficult. Then, ask yourself, “What can I do now?” You can support and vote for a presidential candidate that knows that the approaching climate catastrophe must be addressed if there is to be any hope for the future of our children and for future generations.

If you have a conscience, if you are willing to be objective, if you truly care for the future of the planet than do the right thing and do it now.

Sorry, we missed any chance of recovery, we're down to choosing how we want to go out.

I choose a living wage over welfare for corporations.

You can support and vote for the presidential candidate that knows that the approaching climate catastrophe must be addressed if there is to be any hope for the future of our children and for future generations. You will support the presidential candidate that will do everything possible to mobilize the nation and the world to face the reality of climate catastrophe. --from the OP (my emphasis)



Bernie Sanders has started a huge movement that is upending all the prophecies of the entire Corrupt Media punditry class! He is drawing tens of thousands of people to multiple rallies all over the country. He is smashing records in recent primary and caucus wins that are jaw dropping in their size--70% of the vote, 80% of the vote, in Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, Idaho, Utah--as he rises and rises in every sort of poll--matchups with Clinton, matchups with Republicans, polls of the next primaries. In one poll, he beats Donald Trump by 20 points! In another, he is now slightly ahead of Clinton in that matchup, coming from 40 to 50 points behind. In favorability polls, he again smashes records. He is by far the most popular politician in the country by orders of magnitude beyond all contenders (while Clinton's and Trump's favorability ratings are abysmal).

He has ignited the enthusiasm of the young, who flock to him in huge numbers as new voters or, if they are too young, as volunteers. He has ignited the enthusiasm of Independent voters--the largest bloc of voters in the country--many of whom are disgusted with our corrupt politics and political parties. He has re-ignited hope all over the country for a populist revolution that will not only end the horrible inequality of income among us, but--as he has pledged--will treat climate change as the MORAL issue that it is. No other candidate has said that. No other candidate is so prepared to "mobilize the country and the world" to roll up our sleeves, get our best ideas assembled and DO something about it NOW!
