You may not have noticed this, but the mainstream of the GOP has changed its position on climate change! Yes, faced with what seems like an unending parade of fires, heat waves, and hurricanes, Republicans are now admitting that climate change actually exists; they simply aren’t willing to do anything about it, for fear of damaging the interests of its fossil fuel industry voters and donors. Even Rick Scott has gotten into the act! Will wonders never cease?
In other words, we’ve moved from “I’m not a scientist, man” to “Don’t worry, be happy.”
One assumes the GOP thinks it can score points with millennials by being stupid and criminally irresponsible instead of insane. That seems a bit overly optimistic to me.
