    Here’s the deal… Nobody thinks he’s going to fix climate change, or that it’s possible that could even be accomplished by one administration in one term. When someone gives a speech to rile up their base and get voters emotionally invested, they don’t say things like, “We’re going to take steps to slow climate change”, because that’s boring. They go out there and make big statements like, “we’re going to take climate change, and kick its ass” because that’s what people want to hear and that’s what’s going to help get votes. As voters we then hope that steps are taken towards accomplishing that goal, knowing that climate change is going to get cured over night.

      Would have a lot more substance if we didn’t keep hearing the great news about how we’ve extracted record amounts of oil during his administration.
