Showing Conservatives the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change Can Shift Their Views on the Issue

If you wonder, like I do, about how ANYONE can cling to a view that pretty much the entire country thinks is wrong, think about this: Politicians are a unique breed. They are the clique-makers. The authors of division, by definition, placing party loyalty above all else.

So here’s the problem with that: They surround themselves with like-minded people, shunning the viewpoints of anyone who is NOT on their team. To the point where NO ONE would dare even bring up climate change in a room with them…unless to joke about or reject it, and anything said by its supporters, as #fakenews. They never SEE the evidence (because they cover their eyes). They never HEAR the Truth (with hands over their ears), so how are they to believe it?

Sure…in a perfect world they are duty bound to become informed, and make the decisions that are best for all of their constituents and America. But this ain’t no perfect world, and these guys ain’t no model citizens. No, they are flawed, self-centered, humans…who need to be bitchslapped into the 21st century and have their eyes forced open (think #ClockworkOrange), forcing them to see to the realities around them.
