re: #30 abbyadams

It’s not just pandering. They are actively pushing the disinformation, allied with people like the Koch’s, organizations like the Heritage Foundation, and a lot of the energy companies.

They are intentionally misleading Americans on this subject. Even those Republicans who don’t actively call AGW a fraud very carefully avoid saying that it’s real.

Whether some of them honestly believe God will somehow intervene, whether it’s a cynical and horrifyingly inhuman calculation that the US will weather the effects of AGW better than other nations, or whether it’s pure short-term desire for power, they are creating, as well as benefiting from, the ignorance on this topic.
