Man-made climate change threatens the planet and the life forms it supports.
Why is this important?
We are stewards of the environments of the world we live in because we have the greatest impact on them. We deforested the green belt that once encircled the earth and provided clean air and water not only for equatorial continents, but indirectly for the entire world. Overuse of some resources have created imbalances in nature that stress entire ecosystems. The smallest changes can threaten their very existences. Only by acknowledging the conditions that damage and threaten the planet can we protect it and the life forms, including people, that depend on it for their survival. Candidates who refuse to acknowledge that our actions threaten life on our planet should not be elected to positions of responsibility.
