At the most recent Democratic debate there was a full half-hour discussion of climate change, which Joe Biden described as “an existential crisis” — which, according to the global scientific community, it is.
On their respective websites, all six candidates go into detail regarding what they would do about this crisis, which may well affect future generations even more than it will themselves or the rest of us.
In contrast, the current president of the United States says nothing about the climate crisis. In his three State of the Union addresses, the word “climate” never even occurs, nor does it appear on his campaign website except in the derogatory phrase, “the unfair Paris Climate Agreement.”
What does this say about this president’s regard for science? More importantly, what does it say about his concern for the well-being of 330 million Americans and the generations still to come?
