We like to remain non-partisan, but we also need to call it as we see it. Including three of the bigger third party platforms, we seem to find that the worst platform this year for addressing and even acknowledging the threat of climate change comes from the Republican party. Now, not everyone in the party needs to follow that platform, of course, but too many sitting congressional Republicans do. Younger and actually most non-congressional Republicans do tend to seem far keener to acknowledge and want to find solutions to this issue, but these people thus far are not very heavily represented as official members of Congress, even at the state level.

If you are a Republican concerned about climate change, push your elected officials to come up with solutions to this issue. Become a climate voter, and let people know that if you don't vote for them, this will be the reason why. Organize others to follow in your example. Republicans have shown time and again that they do tend to be more adept at organizing at the state and local levels than the Left is. This is at least partially why many governments on that level tend to be strongly and (to some observers) surprisingly Republican.

How well we address our currently accelerating pace of climate change will reveal how interested we really are in seeing our species prosper and grow for the longest amount of time, and reach its highest possible heights.
