Hey, if you like reading political-type articles to which I link — and some of you do — read Jonathan Chait on the Republican attitude about Climate Change.
One thing that bothers my Republican friends — and I'm not claiming they're representative of all in their party; just pointing out that I do have some — is that they want to see the Conservative agenda prevail but not the parts of it that do not deal with reality. I saw Ben Carson on TV the other day acting like Hydroxychloroquine is a proven cure for COVID-19. And you have Mike Lindell going on with Jimmy Kimmel next week to explain why Donald Trump won the election in a landslide.
Those friends don't like their party dealing with Climate Change by denying it's real, just as they don't like pretending the coronavirus was nothing more than a bad cold or that there's that mountain of evidence that Trump won. Reasonable adults can disagree on how to solve a given problem but not when they get stuck on debating whether the problem even exists.
