Based on media coverage and political ads, one could easily conclude that inflation and immigration are the only issues facing the electorate. These are concerns that are far more easily addressed compared with a critical challenge rarely mentioned during this election cycle…climate change. Increasing climate uncertainly directly affects economic uncertainty with increased costs and inflation. Immigration is certain as places become unsustainable and people will have to move, which can cause tension within between countries.

Only one party will combat climate change. The other has its head in the sand. Let’s vote for our grandchildren’s future.
