There's only one reason for Trump's massive deletion and closing of national climate, weather, ocean, & environmental data sets: to silence and turn a blind eye to evidence of major threats in order to protect the fossil-fuel industry.

If you think not voting or voting 3rd party will lead US politicians to go "They're not participating? They must be dissatisfied with the system! We'll change in ways to appeal to them," what actually happens is politicians go "Who cares about them, I'm going to focus on voters, that's how you win."
