If climate change is proven to affect our food supply and quality of life, then it's butting in to our unalienable right to life, liberty, and property. So, in short, yes.

If cigarette smoke is so deadly, then pollutants from everything else is probably more dangerous. Lets keep our whole environment CLEAN.

I'm not sure it CAN be a "right;" however, climate change is very real and if we humans don't do something about it now, future generations will pay the price

The so called "science" is not settled. These are the same people whose weather models have proven to be wrong. Remember we went from global warming to climate change. Bill Nye the fake science guy.

Heidi Owen

idiots.

The same people that are scared about "climate change" are helping create the problem. They are having kids. More people = more climate change.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
