and in case this isn’t clear, unanimous republican opposition to any meaningful efforts to combat global warming makes any kind of coordinated international effort impossible.
but the result is the same. the combination of deliberate republican ignorance and the republican scheme to break the united states senate makes the crisis even more serious, with little hope on the horizon. it also speaks to a larger truth — because there’s no commonly shared reality among democratic and republican policymakers, the prospects for compromise are effectively non-existent.
sen. susan collins (r) of maine this morning noted, “i don’t know who first described politics as the ‘art of compromise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],’ but that maxim, to which i have always subscribed, seems woefully unfashionable today.”
i realize that part of the problem here is that republicans reject the science because they oppose the solutions. if they acknowledged reality, gop officials would no doubt have a harder time explaining why they don’t want to deal with a climate crisis that has the potential to wreak havoc on the planet in dramatically dangerous ways.
yeah, i wonder why that is.
what’s more,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the climate crisis intensifies, and the need for swift action becomes even more painfully obvious, the gop line is getting worse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not better. how many republican u.s. senate candidates on the ballot this year support efforts to address global warming? none.
