Why do you think the Democrats are running out the clock on the ecosystem?

I know why Republicans do it! What about the Democrats?

We all are. Most every citizen in every nation around the globe. We talk about tiny measures rolled out over a dozen years. We make thinner-plastics bottles, but we manufacture more of them than ever. We talk about clean energies and haul our solo asses to work in SUV's and trucks every single day. We have next to no regard for our fellow citizens or future generations and as always, we've failed to develop much of a sense of foresight.

The climate is now at a point where it doesn't make one bit of difference what either party does. Global action right now might help heal things. Perhaps. In if it does survive us (and it will), we still work 24 hours a day at invasively threatening and annihilating species, habitat, the hierarchy of the ecosystem. This is no longer a political issue. The last time we had this much carbon dioxide was 2.5 million year ago. That's when the planet was still forming and cooling. Seas rose 55 feet. And it happened over great time; our contribution has been sudden and jarring in terms of epochs. Ours occurred directly coincidental to the Industrial Revolution.

Yes, the Democrats historically do a better job at conservatorship of nature and the ecosystem. If it mattered, we might be able to discuss the finer points of the whole thing.
@Graylight not everyone does that.
