re: #39 Obdicut

I don’t even feel that the Republican Party is looking out for their own best self-interest, except in the very, very, very short term.

It reminds me of when you said the following:

It’s a terrible irony that one of the largest blockers to acceptance of AGW are the older generations, who tend to be larger supporters of the GOP— precisely the people who are not going to be around to experience the effects of AGW.

But it’s not an “irony” at all - it makes perfect sense. These old fossils will be dead before the worst of AGW hits, so why should they care about the suffering of those who won’t? Quite simply, they don’t.
