GOP & Allies Will Suppress All Efforts To Address Climate Change.

We can count on fierce resistance to any efforts to address climate change nationally from the GOP. So we must be prepared for the fight of our lives. They will unleash endless counter attacks politically.

I don't understand their adamant resistance to admitting that human activity causes climate change. It can't be only that the oil industry wants to keep selling gas. Or that the Christian fundamentalists think it denies that God is in control. What is the deal?

It is all about money. Obeying regulations that seek to reduce the pollution that causes climate change is expensive.

A resort in Maui I visited had a beach...that beach is now gone and they are putting up sea-walls. And yet, right minded people will not make the connection. Then again, many of them will never visit Hawaii and they can't afford it...still waiting for the trickle down to hit it big.
