By that I mean climate change is their #1 message, and could they be successful? While Democrats are supposed to be interested in reversing climate change, the main candidates have not seemed willing to make it a priority. I guess voters care too much about their short term well being?

And what do you guys think about the idea of using giant planes to disperse sulfur across the atmosphere, in attempt to mimic a volcanic eruption? It's just a band-aid but I think something like this is needed to give us more time to get our shit together.

Why don't we use nanobots to create a black smoke that blocks out the sun

This will cool the Earth and make it so that the machines will be unable to function

It wasn't exactly substantive before either. The narrative was heavily controlled because it could be.

Why not erupt a real volcano? Mt St Helans hasn't gone off in a while.

I'm no scientist, but I remember my geology professor saying that only certain types of volcanoes are capable of propelling sulfur high enough into the atmosphere. I don't know whether or not St. Helen is one of them. The last "little ice age" caused by volcanoes was hundreds of years ago.

i think most people dont really give a shit about climate change because there is not really anything tangible about it yet & it has no immediate affect on their day to day, so it will be hard to make this a primary election issue

On Climate Change? No. But the Green New Deal seems like a good and potentially politically popular way to tackle the matter.

Austerity is poisonous to election campaigns, and a climate change platform pretty much has to push that.
