Many presidential voters base their votes on the issues that candidates say they can solve, such as inflation, immigration, abortion, etc.  Voters rarely consider candidates from the point of view of costly harm the candidates may do to our economy, our well-being, and our international relationships.  
The most important issue our country and the rest of the world faces is climate change.  It is caused by cumulative pollutants generated as the result of the industrial age. Other issues pale compared to the deadly change in our climate that will harm or cause death to millions of people if permitted to go unaddressed.
Extreme high temperatures are causing crops to wither and livestock to die, limiting our food resources for the world.  Roads, bridges, and buildings, including homes, are experiencing damage and destruction.  We have already lost the lives of countless people due to destructive floods, mudslides, hurricanes, and wildfires.
These predictions sound alarmist, and they are.  If not addressed early in their destructive evolution, these natural forces will become a reality for current and future generations.   
Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax,” but he has not cited even one reputable scientist to refute the reality of climate change. During his previous administration, he rolled back more than 125 environmental safeguards.  Incredibly, he canceled U.S. participation in the Paris Climate Agreement, an historic agreement with 195 signatory nations.  Trump believes he is smarter than the collective wisdom of all the world’s nations even though people are already dying from the effects of climate change and entire ecosystems are collapsing.
Additionally, he plans to open even more public lands for the drilling of fossil fuels. He actively leads public chants such as “Drill Baby Drill,” the results of which will increase one of the most harmful greenhouse gases.
If Trump is elected President, he will not only cause irreparable and unrecoverable damage in the United States and the world by disregarding efforts to curtail climate change, but also will instigate additional harmful climate actions for generations to come.
