The Flaccid Floundering Of Republican Climate "Activism"
EDIT
That may be why, when members of the Climate Solutions Caucus wrote a letter in April urging Trump not to abandon the Paris treaty on climate change, fewer than one in four of the Republican members of the caucus signed it. All the Democrats did. "I think the politics of that was dicey for people in the caucus," said Mark Reynolds, executive director of the Citizens Climate Lobby.
Similarly, a widely noted House floor vote to insist that the Defense Department write a report to Congress detailing the national security risks commanders face from climate change was more an endorsement of what the generals have been saying than of what the scientists assert.
Even Democrats, in a defensive crouch during the brief floor fight, took pains to reassure colleagues across the aisle that this was not a referendum on the causes or solutions to climate change.
The report, said Rep. James Langevin (D-R.I.), "is not about causes of climate change, nor do we discuss specific emissions targets, or green energy goals." And Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) chimed in: "We don't have to agree on what causes climate change."
EDIT
Ed. - Oh, no, no, we wouldn't want to agree about causation in the physical world, now would we? We need to keep our options open for when things really begin to suck.
