Probably the single most productive thing our military is doing in the world today is systematically debunking every Republican talking point about climate change. I wonder if this would continue under a Republican administration. In the past, I would have said ‘yes,’ but I have completely lost confidence in the Republican Party not to compromise our national security for political purposes. Actually, I’ve lost confidence that there remain enough Republicans in positions of responsibility who still know how to distinguish between the b.s. they serve up in the media on a daily basis and reality to allow the party to continue to play this game without destroying the country.
It’s like the folks who think burning more fuel than is necessary is patriotic are actually winning the argument.
