No debate
The #climate questions at the presidential debate better not start with the phrase "Do you believe..." Skip right to "What will you do to tackle the worsening #climatechange crisis."
I sincerely hope no one tries to play dumb or act as though climate change doesn't have a factual basis. I think many people today want to avoid it and continue with convince, therefore, they act as though it's up for debate. As you mentioned in another post, if it's something someone doesn't want to hear or put effort into, they have a way of pushing facts off as opinions. I'm right there with you, hoping belief is not in question at the next presidential debate, but rather their plan of action and knowledge on the subject.
