Just a question. Is climate change an issue big enough now to leverage to take back the House of Representatives? Water pollution should be included in the debate: rural water quality is abysmal. Simple message: we are polluting our air and water so much that we are hurting the climate of the entire planet.

I think it needs to be something more concrete. I think the US needs a second stimulus, and it should revolve around climate change: storm and flood proofing vulnerable areas, subsidizing new sources of energy, and subsidizing locally grown foods for food independence.
Ok, I agree that a concrete selling point is advantageous. How do we rally the troops? What do we do now, prior to the next election cycle?
I think working for a second stimulus (which is needed, economically) based on the reality of climate change would be great, because voting yes on it would imply acknowledging the reality of climate change
