    I believe Trump will lose but I’m not so sure about the other part. Democrats will only take action on climate change if it doesn’t impact capitalism. Capitalism can’t exist if we want to truly tackle Climate change.

      I view our chances of appropriately managing climate change the way I do a 65 year old cigarette smoker that’s smoked 2 packs a day for the past 5 decades.

      It’s absolutely possible for a 65 year old long-time smoker to change, repair much of the damage, and live many more healthy years. But by far the more likely outcome is that person smoking on their death bed.

      The outcome isn’t something that just happens; it’s something we need to actively work for, whether that be defeating Trump or actually getting the world off fossil fuels.
