Climate change and voting

I was born at 305 ppm. At that time, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere was not that far above the preindustrial level of 280 parts per million (ppm). I was married at 338 ppm. My first daughter was born at 348 ppm, and my second daughter at 352. I retired at 398 ppm. Today, we are at 420 ppm, and still rising. That is the highest carbon dioxide level on Earth in at least 3 million years. (Adapted from Sierra article by Paul Rauber.)

Climate change is very real. Donald Trump is the hoax.

Vote for our grandchildren's lives. Vote for the future of life on Earth.
