Young people do grow up.
Younger liberals and conservatives are fairly solid on this category of issues. This isn't a case where people are going to grow up and lean Republican. People are going to remember who wasn't there for them when climate whiplash destroys their home.
- georgemcbay 7y agoWhy should any current politician care if they remember? They will likely be out of office when the shit really hits the fan, especially if President. For better or for worse (for worse, IMO) there was a big shift sometime around the late 80s early 90s where politicians in the US by and large stopped caring about "legacy". As long as they get elected in the next cycle, its all good (for them).
- munk-a 7y agoCan we please attack this problem in some manner that doesn't involve letting the world burn to a crisp just so we can say "I told you so"? I agree, if climate change goes unchecked there will be ample opportunity for "I told you so"s but I'd rather check climate change - and it's important enough to do that I'm willing to give up gloating rights and say "Hey look, we all came together and solved this issue."
