There is no such thing as an issue that is "not political". We want a consensus oriented toward action to unite people in their common interest in environmental health. Every environmental issue (just like every issue) is a political issue.
Did a speech in my speech class on climate change, persuading my class it shouldn’t be a political issue, but a humanitarian crisis that deserves urgent, collective action😍🤌🏼

Especially when not all members of society experience equal environmental harm and there are those who (in varying degrees) benefit directly from perpetuating environmental harm Even the concept of a rational “common interest” is very complicated here

i honestly think they meant it in the sense of it being a PARTISAN political issue, where one side wants to help & the other doesn’t even believe in the science bc they haven’t personally experienced enough of the effects of climate change yet.
