Out of all the issues I'm very happy to see that Bernie keeps this one in the spotlight. I wish that Hillary would make this a bigger focus. It should be number one, in my opinion. Taxing Wall Street should be done to contribute to climate change efforts around the world, as Europe is doing. The USA has to lead in this area or catastrophe will end the chance of change of any kind.

The pressure is on. Hillary is getting the message. If she wins she must be responsive to Bernie's message about the environment.

(31,935 posts)Climate change means extreme storms, droughts and floods, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, increased global conflicts, increased disease (zika virus anyone?), and ultimately an uninhabitable planet in less than 30 years at current projections. The oceans are rapidly dying, and with the 65% of of oxygen. The rest of the flora is being wiped out, mostly by meat producers and big oil. No other issues will matter if we don't take action on climate change NOW!
