this is the part that makes me face palm. Carbon emissions = climate change somehow became a far left talking point?
obsession with ‘own de libs’ really backed us into a corner on this one.
I want a GOP leader to come out and say ‘climate change is a result of carbon emissions. however, we are unwilling to inflect economic pain in the short term in order to reduce longer term volatility in climate conditions. Eventually the climate will change and we can just hope that it will impact poorer nations first and then when the need is strong enough, and no longer politically inconvenient, we can divert resources to adapt’
