We may be turning the corner on action to thwart catastrophic impacts from Climate Change, but much will depend on the leadership exhibited by the next President of the United States.  If we elect a leader that recognizes the fact that 72% of the US population believe climate change is a threat to civilization and that action should be taken, we have a chance of preserving not just the standard of living we have become accustomed to enjoying – but the well-being of our entire civilization. 

If we elect a President that will take action – and exhibit leadership, I see a revolutionary change in the way we design and construct buildings, generate power, utilize our transportation system and consider out impact on global warming.   We need to take action on a similar scale as the competitive race to land a person on the moon vs. the Soviets.   Time is urgent - we have no time to navel gaze.  

Not only was 2015 the warmest year on record, but February absolutely shattered high temperature records since the origin of mankind.
