    The president has a lot less power than you seem to think. Only congress can do anything meaningful about climate change, and the chances of that happening are basically nonexistent.

    Honestly, what would be the point of running for president on a climate change platform? Would you believe him? I certainly wouldn’t. Would anyone actually believe he could follow through if he tried? No one with a basic understanding of how the government works should. What purpose would that campaign serve beyond getting your hopes up and inevitably making him a liar about something he never had the power to do?

    If you want change, vote for the right congressmen and convince others to do the same.

      The president could at least push for this, even if he cant implement it.
