The biggest obstacle to responding to climate change is The Republican Party. No, I’m not being hyperbolic. They currently control climate policy for one of the largest polluters on earth, the largest economy, and most of international law.

Any help changing or defeating the Republican party’s dangerous anti-science anti-facts agenda would get us closer to being able to collectively deal with this issue.

I totally agree with you. The republican party is merely a middle man though. They have been doing the bidding of their corporate overlords. Same in other countries like Australia. "Clean coal" is being promoted, forests have been bulldozed and coral reefs ignored.

How do you deal with such reckless greed of uber-wealthy?

Then just put better Democrat candidates forward for the start.

That’s not enough when the way the country’s election districts are set gives the Republican Party a heavy advantage at the polls (even without district level gerrymandering - the state boundaries alone are enough to accomplish that in the House; and do far worse in the senate).

And then there’s the issue of all the citizens who have been misled into supporting Republican positions and are intensely ideological about them.
