In my video today, I discuss the current climate crisis that Hillary and Trump will ignore if elected, what scientists now call Anthropogenic Climate Disruption, or ACD. It's occurring much sooner than even the most "alarmist" scientific models predicted, and represents a real and present danger to us all.

In that video, I make the case for why neither Trump nor Hillary will do a a damn thing to stop the ongoing and accelerating catastrophic destruction of our planet's ecosystems, nor will they work to wean us away from our continued addiction to fossil fuels. Furthermore, I argue that (1) we must do everything in our power to get Jill Stein on the ballot in as many states as possible, and (2) we must raise her poll numbers so that she is included in the upcoming Presidential debates.

Only Jill and the Green Party have a comprehensive plan to combat ACD, or "climate change" if you prefer. Only she will speak the truth about our current climate crisis at those debates, and the necessity for immediate action on a massive scale by our government, and other governments around the world, to limit the harm already done by ACD , a danger to our species survival that will get much, much worse if we do nothing or adopt half-measures that would be ineffective, i.e., too little, too late.

Without Jill there, standing next to The Donald and Clinton on the national stage, the Presidential debates will be just one more infotainment train wreck in which the real issues facing our nation and the world will be ignored or elided. Without her, the debates will be a sham and a travesty, nothing more than an extended version of every bad realty TV show in which the participants make outrageous personal attacks, tell lies about themselves and their opponent, display their own narcissism while pimping themselves out for the attention of the American public and (of course) higher ratings for the television networks.

With her up there, the American public will have the rare opportunity to hear the truth about our nation's many problems, from racial injustice to income inequality, to the fact that our elections and our politics are democratic in name only. That in itself is vital.

So, with that said, please watch the following posted at my YouTube channel Steven D Talks:
