Between 95 and 100% of scientists believe climate change is both real and man-made, and every expert projection has stated that climate change will have a massive impact on humanity over the next few decades. I can't imagine an issue that should get more attention than climate change, yet no one is talking about it in this election. Why not?

Isn't it a major consideration that Trump believes climate change is a hoax?

Climate change would be irrelevant considering what Obama and what could be Clinton's eventual escalation of a possible conflict with Russia, a country that has numerous nuclear weapons that could wipe us out in a few seconds. It wouldn't take a few decades for that type of damage to happen.

Because so many people just feed off the media and climate change just doesn't make the headlines, but neither does the economy, jobs, security or healthcare.

We have had climate change for centuries.. it is a hoax.. Do you see Obama cutting down on emissions? What a laugh. The real climate change will be the fall out from a nuclear weapon if Hawk Hillary gets in.. She is so unhinged to call Putin "Hitler".

Earth is 4 billion years old.

We have been recording the climate for only 150 years.

IMHO if "climate change" was for real AND it was caused by our own kind like as in humans, we'd all be dead cause nature has ways of taking care of business.

The odds of that happening are infinitesimally small.

Just about every scientist on earth disagrees with you. We haven't had climate change of this sort for centuries. The rate of warming and rate of CO2 buildup is greater than ever before.

Why do you purport to know more about science than the entire scientific community?

If it continues as the rate it is occurring, that isn't an impossible scenario.

Well, yes, we have seen Obama cutting down on emissions....

"The measure, “Planning for Sustainability in the Next Decade,” calls for a 40 percent reduction in heat-trapping emissions over the next decade from levels measured in 2008. The move will save $18 billion in taxpayer money, the White House said, and increase the federal government’s use of renewables like wind and solar by 30 percent."

"The president has made robust use of the Environmental Protection Agency, Energy Department and Interior Department to sidestep Republican opposition in Congress and act on global warming, increasing vehicle fuel economy standards, making cities more resilient to the effects of climate change and proposing cuts to carbon emissions from power plants. "
