I just don’t get this. We were actually making headway. Bush admitting that AGW was occurring.

This is the result, I think, mostly of the power of propaganda, of how much money can influence debate, married to the problem of the anti-science attitudes of some religions.

I don’t know a solution to this, except for prominent people on the Right to stand up and start taking responsibility, instead of riding the wave for their own benefit. Sadly, everyone I know on the right who has spoken out about the dangers of AGW has now backtracked.
