THE TRUE CONSERVATIVE POSITION: We only have one planet to live on, so we need to protect it. We have to assume the worst case scenario is coming and create an insurance policy of sorts to fend it off. The best way to do that is to use the market; that means a carbon tax with rebates.
THE GOP POSITION: We can’t take meaningful action against climate change, because it would offend our donor base and require tax increases. We can’t have that. Whatever happens to millennials is their problem, not ours. What has posterity ever done for us, anyway?
TRUMP’S POSITION: Climate change is a Chinese hoax.
CONCLUSION: The Democrats are the real conservatives in this debate.
