Many of the initiatives to fight climate change will be contested in the courts - all the way up to the Supreme Court. Fortunately, we don't have to chose one of these priorities over the other. Along with many other vital priorities, they're dependent on each other.

The two overlap, as others have noted. But you are absolutely correct: we are up against it in terms of the environmental crisis. And Bernie is the only candidate offering a sane alternative to the current policies.

It's also important to me. But anything who sits out the election to prove a point is effectively saying they don't care about climate change. If a climate-denier takes the white house, we are done for. The window we have to do anything to is closing fast - if not already closed.

History will not be kind to the legacy of those who denied.

Sorry Paula, I'm not voting for Hillary under any circumstances and you don't get to define my vote.

But you like everyone else will have to live with the consequences. I think the next ten years are crucial and what happens during them will determine the future livability of the way planet. Trump or Cruz would be so far beyond disaster it doesn't bear thinking about.

as would happen with Hillary Clinton and there will be another economic meltdown and serious social unrest.

Maybe Hillary supporters who are driven by climate change should realize that Bernie is stronger on that issue (and virtually every other progressive issue) and a stronger general election candidate than Hillary. Self described independent voters in Michigan voted 71-28 for Bernie yesterday.

One of the reasons I support him. But trump and Cruz are exponentially worse.

It will be crucial to elect a Democrat as President on all counts. We shouldn't forget any of them.
