The Republican Party is ONLY major political party in any industrialized nation that openly and explicitly rejects the fact of anthropogenic global warming. Conservative parties elsewhere accept it and are trying to solve the problem.
It’s a good thing that utility companies and technologists and investors dealing in real money don’t have to pay much attention to the Denialists. Goldman Sachs says that we passed Peak Coal in 2013, and we can see how new technologies such as improved batteries will get us to Peak Oil (electric cars) and Peak Gas (batteries for load balancing and time shifting to get rid of peaker natural gas plants). From there, that is, from Peak Carbon on, it’s all downhill, at a profit.
The markets that the Right professes to love and revere so much have spoken.
martens is REALLY fed upBefore there was an occupation called “scientist”, most scientific discoveries were made by clergy, with doctors and nobles trailing behind. Of course, these were the ones with the disposable time to do the research, but it also indicates they found no conflict between faith and data..motivemagusI was not exactly disagreeing, just pointing out that other conservative parties in the world are not particularly on the cutting edge of support for science just because they are not quite as obstructionist as Republicans.
