Trump is impacting our constitutional structure and the independence of the judiciary and armed forces. To me that is priority one, the US role in global economy two, global warming 3.

Naggsty Butler Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I don't know where I'd rank climate change on my list, it isn't the most important thing, but I will say that when I do get around to building a house it will have solar and geothermal. If they would stop making decent EVs into luxury cars, I would buy one in a heartbeat.

SharkTanked Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I feel like it is top 10 probably. Always seems like a barn door after the horse ran away situation. That doesn't mean we should make it worse but seems fait acompli by now. I'm more of a stop pollution guy than a climate change guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUTOP25 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’d put it in my top 15: 1. Expression rights 2. Due process rights 3. Gun rights 4. Personal privacy rights 5. Personal property rights 6. Separation of powers + checks and balances 7. Equal justice under the law 8. Universal Basic Fry Sauce Disbursements 9. Term Sheet Deal enforcement 10. Greater Idaho 11. NO MOAR PREEMPTIVE WARS 12. Demilitarize police + end qualified immunity 13. Education 14. Infrastructure 15. Environment + climate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environment + climate After only a couple sips of coffee, I can pretty much go along with your list. As for #8, you seem rather hard ass Republican, doesn't everybody deserve top shelf fry sauce? I think that is a basic human right. As for #10, Arco seems to get the short end of the stick, why is that? As for #15, I view climate change and global warming like Covid, fear mongerging overstatement of risk. We can always do better, don't tank the economy over it.

If you were to list the top 10,000 problems facing America climate change would be buried deep into the 9000's. The left keeps banging that climate change drum but the truth is most people don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV147 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It doesn't rate as a priority. I believe in climate change and even anthropomorphic climate change. I just don't buy the doomsday talk. Climate change will be resolved because emerging technologies will make energy cleaner and cheaper than by burning fossil fuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitteraztec Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Just below swatting that mosquito on my leg. I am of a similar opinion of CV147. This will be resolved or mitigated with technology over time. That or 2-3 straight years of pandemics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupslam1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 At the bottom. We can reduce use of fossil fuels by building more nuclear power plants. Which are going to be needed anyway to minimize future brownouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
