Andrew Romanoff is a Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Colorado. And apparently the climate is his top priority. It’s such a big deal to him, that he’s come out with a four-plus-minute campaign ad about how we’re probably all going to die if he doesn’t get elected:

The #ClimateCrisis poses a threat unlike any in human history. It’s a catastrophe of our own creation—but it doesn’t have to end this way. We can choose a different path.

He case rests in part on the shoulders of Greta Thunberg and AOC, so you know he’s a serious person.

If it's 127 degrees outside, why are they all wearing winter clothing? https://t.co/hLsHCADeB5

We can’t afford to be skeptical!

this is the most powerful political ad about climate change I've ever seen.

Yeah … you think maybe there’s a reason for that? Like, it makes the person behind it look like a nutjob?

Who is this ad targeted towards? I’m a strong believer in human caused climate change & support the green new deal, but this ad, powerful as it is, will just galvanize the deniers. They’ll just call it more fear mongering and dismiss it.
