Denying Science Will Make Useless Republicans Lose The Youth Vote

[GoLeft TV]

In the United States, we have yet to enact a single piece of national legislation to address climate change. And the group that will be most effected by this lack of action, millennials, are fed up with the lack of action in America.

According to a new report by NextGen Climate, young voters are increasingly concerned about the threats of climate change and more than 70% of them favor severe cuts to U.S. carbon emissions and a switch to clean, renewable energy.

1. You said it.

My kids are 26 and 29 and when they hear some moron deny climate change, you should hear them. All snark and sarcasm. They have no sympathy for someone who denies facts for profit.

2. AS I have said many times, either we grow or we dont.

Mature is a better word.

Of course the youngsters get climate change.

I bet you would have a similar number who think guns are out of control, Gay marriage and Gay rights are good, etc.

These are mature positions and if the future adults dont hold these positions, we are more than doomed, if we arent anyway.

3. K & R, a zillion! This should be seen and heard by many. Millennials and others will impact

this election greatly, that is a fact. And for good reason since millennials' futures are foremost at stake, due to imminent climate change devastation and worldwide neoliberal economic destruction.

4. Yeah, and September of 2016 may see all the Arctic sea ice melt

for the first time in human history. Plus, in January of 2016, the climate people will announce that 2015 crushed the previous record for warmest year on record.

Republicans will look supremely stupid continuing to deny climate change in the face of those two historic milestones.

5. OK- This just connected the dots on something

Trump is leading in the RWNJ polls by a lot.
Ben Carson is a clear but distant second with everybody else in or just above single digits.
I've seen pundits scratching their heads over this, and chalking it up to everybody favoring the political outsiders this election. That's surely part of it, but I'll bet Carson's supporters are overwhelmingly Millennials.
