Haley is more climate conscious than Trump—which isn't saying much | She admits warming is real, but is still all in on fossil fuels. ( www.motherjones.com )

Just to be clear, fossil fuel burning is responsible for the bulk of the warming people have caused:

Of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the combustion of fossil fuels was responsible for about 64%±15%, growing to an 86%±14% contribution over the past 10 years.

Isn't that worse, though?

"Yeah, I think it's real, but I'm not willing to do anything about it."

That kind of mixed position is the first step towards actually being willing to act. I'd rather see the Republicans there than in total denial.

I'd rather see climate deniers like the republicans reduced to powerless minority status in government.

silence7 OP ,

The two are not mutually exclusive.

FunderPants ,

Indeed

ilinamorato ,

I suppose, but I still think that requires some level of logic that the GOP hasn't seemed interested in encouraging among their base of late.

I'd say equally bad. Just don't elect any of these fools.

That's just her shtick. She'll make comments that make her seem a little more reasonable than your typical Republican, but when push comes to shove she's got the exact same policy decisions. At one point she was pretending to be less extreme about abortion than other candidates, a few days ago she said she would support a national ban.

Allegedly she wants to kill unions and workers rights too

Bdtrngl ,

She's also an idiot and largely irrelevant.

RGB3x3 ,

She has to be all in on fossil fuels because Republican voters are just too stupid and brainwashed to realize that renewable energy generation is just better for everyone and everything.

They have to stick to sucking on exhaust pipes to "own the liberals."

You know Biden pumped more oil than trump right?
America is all in of fossil fuels no matter who the president is lol.
