Issue Position

Having worked for the National Science Foundation and Columbia University on climatology studies aboard our ship, I believe that humankind has effected our climate. We can't put our heads in the sand and pretend that climate disruption isn't happening. We need to mitigate the situation as best and as soon as we can. We need to reduce our carbon footprint. This is not to say it will be easy. There is pollution from plastic and micro-plastics that we eat and breath. We have to reduce the amount that makes our mountains out of land fills. To work towards this end will also allow us to produce viable jobs and most important give our children a positive future. We don't want to be on the wrong side of history with this issue as it may be the most important issue we face.
