The UK Guardian has a sad that people aren’t really talking about Hotcoldwetdry and it has gone missing
The race for the White House is failing to grapple with the key issues of the day, especially the urgent need to combat climate change before atmospheric changes become irreversible, a slice of the American electorate believes.
As the primary election season turns toward a head-to-head between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, there is increasing anger and frustration over the nature of the contest. A Guardian call-out to online readers in the US asking them to reflect on the race so far was met by a barrage of criticism on the tone and substance of the world’s most important election – with the two main parties, individual candidates and the media all coming under heavy fire.
Well, good news: you won’t get more discussion of it, because Trump doesn’t care, and, really, if you’ve paid attention to Hillary over the years, she doesn’t care either. This is not an issue she’s spent much time on, nor something she paid attention to much while Secretary of State. She’s not calling for carbon taxes, eliminating fossil fuels, or most of the other foolishness from Warmists. Yes, she has it listed as an issue on her website, but, it almost seems to be there because liberals demand it, not because she’ll do anything. She generally ignores ‘climate change’ on the campaign trail, choosing to talk about other issues.
The Guardian asked readers to identify the “one issue that affects your life you wish the presidential candidates were discussing moreâ€. Resoundingly, the largest group of participants pointed to climate change.
Of the 1,385 who responded to the call-out – from all 50 states – one in five expressed discontent at the relative silence from candidates around a subject that they believed to be of supreme and epochal importance. They noted that much of the Republican debate has either focused on blatant denial that climate change even exists or on how to unpick Barack Obama’s attempts to fight global warming, while on the Democratic side both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have raised the issue but have rarely pushed it to the top of the political agenda.
Sorry, Warmist snowflakes, no one really cares.
Vivid words and phrases were used to articulate the scale of the pending disaster that readers accused the presidential hopefuls of ignoring, such as “cataclysmicâ€, “running out of timeâ€, “threat to human lifeâ€, “path towards destructionâ€, or in one particularly memorable remark: “slow-motion apocalypseâ€.
A reader from Alaska, a state acutely feeling the impact of climate change, used the word “Doomed!â€, while an 18-year-old woman from Tennessee who asked to remain anonymous simply said: “Freaking global climate change.†Jennie Ratcliffe, 66, from North Carolina quibbled with the Guardian’s wording of the question, saying “this is far more than an ‘issue’ – it’s a crisisâ€.
In other words, they should all be heavily medicated.
