Until GOP stops denying global warming anyone concerned Dems are going too far left is full of sh*t

Until the the Republican Party recognizes the reality and challenge of global warming anyone in media or politics who shows ‘concern’ that the Democratic Party is going too far ‘left’ is full of shit and should be told so.

The longer we wait to address climate change the more drastic the effects and adjustments will be. Going back to the tax rates of 30 or 50 years ago will seem very trivial if we don’t begin significant transitions to renewables soon.

Republicans need to acknowledge the reality of climate change before they can be taken seriously on any other major issue. One way to get their attention is to protest the 88 + universities that endorse global warming denial on 260 limbaugh stations. Direct offense aimed at their talk radio monopoly will scare the crap out of them.

justified using said powers to address CO2 emissions and climate change. At least that danger is real, and present.

any prominent republican who supports dems on this will be called a traitor

limbaugh is the guy who leads the denial from 600 radio stations. another 1000 or so stations follow his lead in calling global warming a 'hoax'

and that is based on emails hacked by russians from east anglia climate scientists in 2009 and taken out of context. the hack happened on a thurs and by monday the analysis was available for limbaugh to yell about to millions for a week

there's a good case to be made that limbaugh, knowingly or not, has been and still is helping the kremlin

putin makes more on oil and gas than the kochs

the US government for whatever reason. They should not have a huge megaphone to millions of people. Many people IMO are pretty lame, and they run with what individuals such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Jones and the rest say ... usually fabricated and full of lies.

sports broadcasting from 260 limbaugh stations due to their global warming denial, pub school defunding, racism, trump love etc .

others will follow and many advertisers will flee all rw radio stations. the monopoly couldn't survive
