When considering a new President or any elected official who can bring about change, we always consider which areas we are most concerned about. Is climate change in your top 5 areas of concern for your country? Why or why not? Feel free to share your top 5 if you want.

No. It's up to consumers to demand products created by low emissions...if that is what they want.
It's in my top 1.
Would be interesting to the split of ages in the yes/no camp. Must be easy for people who are older to just think 'screw you, got mine' when it comes to climate.
The problem comes when consumers know jack **** about what they're talking about.
A person is smart. People are dumb.
Then they had better learn.
And if they don't and climate change is as bad as advertised and it ends humanity...they have no one to blame but themselves.
We have got to stop looking to government as Mommy and Daddy to make our boo boo's all better.
If Humanity extinguishes itself, it does not bother me much and I guarantee you the universe won't miss humanity one little bit.
You get what you deserve.
Nobody is saying anything about ending humanity. It's these kind of exaggerations that misrepresent climate change.
“Many scientists are now warning that we are moving closer to several tipping points that could — within as little as 10 years — make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable damage to the planet’s habitability for human civilization" (2006)
“The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more — if more should be required — the future of human civilization is at stake.”

Nobody is saying anything about ending humanity. It's these kind of exaggerations that misrepresent climate change. Take a look at this graph:
These are the places that are going to suffer most. And it will lead to drought and increases in deiseases etc, which will no doubt leave people knocking on our door. Seeing as they're the ones that will suffer, I guess we should just wait for the Indians and Africans to fix the issue eh. I mean, they shouldn't have been booking all those flights, driving all those hummers and burning all that coal!
But govt should make your balanced budget boo boo go away??? The govt aren't our mommies and daddies. They're us. Colleagues, friends, relatives etc. There isn't much of a profit motive in preventing climate change, so the govt are simply the best positioned people to begin tackling climate change. Much like they're the best positioned people to balance the budget.
Lol you don't have to give me all the nihilistic platitudes about the universe and whatever. I came to the realization a long time ago that the universe doesn't care about us. That's precisely why I care and why people care.
I never said climate change was life threatening...and I don't much care even if it is - I will be long dead before it effects me and I do my part so my conscious is clean.
Climate change is up to individuals...not the government.
And the balanced budget is NOT up to individuals after the election. The masses cannot force governments to balance budgets...they can only threaten to not vote for them if they don't balance it. The politicians are directly responsible for the fiscal budgets...not the masses.
But climate change is ALL about the masses. They can economically boycott corporations that do not clean up their act. They can buy only products that are better for the environment. They can drive less and walk/ride more.
Politicians can do little. Look at Kyoto? Big hoopla...hardly any change in the end.
If the masses truly want climate change to stop - only they can truly stop it.
If you wait for politicians to stop it, you are naive. Because I guarantee you they won't.
This obviously means more to you then it does to me.
We are done here.
Good day.
There are at least 20 things that are more important than climate change... 30? Maybe 50.
Hey -- we agree on something. It's like old times.
