Climate change is the biggest single issue of our time

[Fast Walker 52]

which candidate is the one that treats it with the urgency it deserves?

[Angry Dragon]

1. No it is not

The biggest issue is the transfer of wealth to a few people
It is kings and serfs again

[Mufaddal]

2. The argument could be made

that kings and serfs alike are both going to meet the same end fast if we allow the planet to collapse, rendering the income issue moot.

I, however, see them as inextricably interconnected. It's not as if there isn't room for both as major priorities.

3. no it's climate change

Climate change will affect our ability to even survive on this planet

[jcgoldie]

6. I agree

Reminds me of Al Gore's graphic with the earth on one side of the scale and some gold bars on the other.

[Fast Walker 52]

7. Exactly. But greed and control by the 1% certainly figures into the climate change equation

[Dragonfli]

14. The answer to one problemis the answer to the other, the kings hoard all the money, much from fossil

fuels and other contributors of our impending human caused mass extinction event , Those Kings would also keep all the money in their accounts, unused for things like investing in not only stopping, but somehow reversing the effects that negatively affect our biosphere, as well as away from the serfs (which they would prefer as poor as possible).

These modern day kings also profit a great deal from polluting in so many ways such would be difficult top list in full let alone discontinue doing.

They are so entwined they are inseparable, that is to say, the OP and yourself are equally correct as one brings with it the other.


If you care to read it, I made an interesting post that explains my premise in detail which went largely (almost completely in fact) ignored on three separate discussion boards.

4. It is but that won't change until we get the money out of politics.

[Fast Walker 52]

8. our survival is at stake, and we have to worry about money in politics

[longship]

5. Hillary equivocates here!

How can anybody see her response as anything but equivocation?

Bernie puts it succinctly. "No!"

[marions ghost]

9. Absolutely!

--everything else pales by comparison.

A large part of my reason for voting Sanders is because HE GETS IT and believes we should do something about it!

[Fast Walker 52]

10. yep! Same here.

[marions ghost]

11. +++

We need strong leadership on this uncertain matter of surviving well--on this earth. We needed it yesterday. Future generations will hate us for their suffering if we know better (which we now do, re climate change) and choose to do nothing. It is the number one issue of these times.

[Arazi]

12. Yes it is

[Uncle Joe]

13. That was a good exchange.

Thanks for the thread, Fast Walker.
