One of the many reasons I have come to detest the GOP. From the article: One-party leadership is not what you want on an issue as profound as climate change. If it goes unchecked, we can expect severe pollution, floods, fires, drought, famine and political instability. Already in Miami Beach, “the ocean periodically starts bubbling up through local drainpipes,” New York Times columnist Gail Collins wrote recently. No one has more reason for concern than the U.S. military, which foresees potential national security threats ranging from coups and terrorism to nations that are starving or even drowning. Yet there is an extraordinary degree of climate change denialism in the GOP. There are very few Republican presidential prospects and members of Congress who will say out loud that they agree with 97 percent of scientists that there is climate change and that it’s driven by human activity — which means that for those who prioritize action against climate change, there is no choice but to fund (and vote for) Democrats. #EndClimateDenial #GreenEnergyNow #ToxicFossilFuels #OccupyMoreThanJustYourCouch
