Elections Matter: Republicans Will Try to Bake the Planet
From MoveOn:
Try to imagine, in the 1970s, a Congress and an electorate that would tolerate a pathological liar and criminal conman in the White House, a man whose one and only interest is his own enrichment.
That’s right. You can’t.

The idea that this simply “blows over” is laughable.

Exactly right, and this is the real tragedy that most Americans are dealing with, i.e., the knowledge that we live among people with truly horrible values.

He will be missed.
Above is a link to our initial conversation.

And this goes far beyond the most obvious offenders, e.g., Big Oil. Ask McDonald’s what it’s doing to stop the devastation of the Amazon rain-forest. Ask Nestles about its efforts to keep microplastics out of our waterways.

I actually don’t doubt that this is true at some level. If you believe that ivermectin is effective in treating COVID-19, or that climate change is a Chinese hoax, you’re going to run into headwinds from the legitimate scientific community.
Over the years, I’ve interviewed a number of climate scientists to create chapters on global warming for my four books on renewable energy. I asked one guy if he was aware that some people believe that professionals in his field profited off claims that Earth’s temperatures are rising. He snickered, and replied, “Of course I’m aware of that. But the is truth that, here I am, a professor and research scientist at a university with a fairly unimpressive salary. If I could disprove the theory of AGW (anthropogenic global warming), I’d be rich beyond measure.”

That was before the rejection of science and the anti-woke movement. That was before Trumpism and the idolizing of a man whose entire life has been one long series of lies to cover up his criminal activities.
That was then; this is now.

What he said in the headline here is just the latest example.
Keep in mind, as illustrated in the meme here, that has been Trump’s stock in trade for the entirety of his life. There is no reason to expect any change now, nor at any point in the future. Whether he winds up in prison, or in Russia, or Saudi Arabia, he will insist on his innocence til the day he dies.

It’s a priority for 7 out of 8 of us. It’s as close as you’re going to get to a unanimous issue.
