The denying of climate change.. or even the destruction of the planet.... I feel this has a lot to do with lazy people.... maybe more so than denial.
I believe the beginning of this denial coincided with NIMBY (not in my back yard).. before my time. It could be ‘we need a prison,’ but not in my neighborhood. One could substitute ‘dump,’ ‘factory’ or ‘water treatment plant ’ for prison. It was also the beginning of KCDR (Kick the Can Down the Road). Instead of making the prison, dump, etc. something you wouldn’t mind living next to... just don’t allow it near me.
Basically accepting something that is detrimental, but don’t make me look at it or smell it. Instead of fixing the problem.
Likely there are more than 70% of people who believe in climate change, but really there are more than half of all people, regardless of the issue, that don’t want to take responsibility for it or are willing to do anything.
So when a stefanik says a lie about it... there are a lot of people who want that lie to be true and will accept it. To do otherwise means --- realizing something should be done.
Take a look at the arguments saying there is no climate change (which in fact are arguments FOR climate change). You can provide them with all the science and lacking any facts that would support what they ‘want to believe’ they will believe what they want to believe.
At best they will send you to some site of a person who is anything but a climate scientist.. and everything on that site will be obfuscation.
Stefanik’s career comes way before her ( or our) child’s future.
He then came up with a twitch on the idea. So it seems there is a possibility he could go with it.
It seems like the GOP running on defund the FBI might be a bridge too far in service to Dear Leader. I’m wrong all the time, tho.

One can only pray that more people will wake up to climate change. Sadly.
Or the next generation will pay for it.
