      It wasn’t fully polarized by party until around 2009, when the fossil fuels industry decided to buy off the Repiblicans in response to an attempt to pass cap and trade legislation.

    The New York times exist to put a blue face on the failure of Capitalism. If you think the solution to climate change exist within our political parties, or via voting, the problem is you.

    Also Citing Paul Krugman, the manifestation of neo-liberal talking points, and the failure of third-way politics reflects really badly on you OP.

    Wow, Paul Krugman is still employed? Terrific. Hmm, let’s see. The Climate change agenda is an “issue” because it reeks badly of ulterior motives. Like, control the 'little people" and burden them with obnoxious regulations, rules and whatever else while the wealthy just go on doing as they please. As soon as this gets brought up, the celebs and politicians scatter like ants being sprayed with raid. They fly around in jets, we can’t fly or have to fly like 5th class. No gas powered cars for us but they can have Ferrari collections. We have to live in stacked, crappy apartments while they party it up in their gated mansions. Sorry, not happening. As soon as they hand it all over in the name of climate we can talk. Mm Kay? Good.

    Trust the science. Sure, Jan. Why not parade Fauci out there again? LOL.
