GOP Platform Doesn’t Mention the Word “Climate” Once — Even After Hottest Year on Record

It's worse than that.

The GOP plan on climate is "We'll capitalism out way out of it."

Record high temperatures? Sell AC units and increase prices on electricity.

Water getting more scarce? Buy inefficient desalinators that run on diesel.

Property values declining due to increasing ocean levels? Ban ocean levels.

Here's a taste of the GOP view:

I used to be a government employee in the state of Florida (when Rick Scott was governor) as an environmental educator. One day, we received a memo that for all government employees the phrases "climate change", "global warming", and "sustainability" were now banned from our official duties. How was I supposed to teach about the environment in Florida without using those? I was still allowed to say "unusual weather event".

I left this role, and Florida, and heard that this policy had been repealed.

Wouldn't you know it, I heard from some of my colleagues still there that DeSantis just went ahead and did the same thing, while also making sure the new law impacts the energy grid.

So not only is their plan to ignore it - but they want to force no one else to talk about it either, or make any improvements on their own of their own volition.

By the time the earth becomes unlivable, all the rich people will just build planet survival bases underground or escape to the stars while 99.9999% of the population dies a slow death. The billionaires are obsessed with space for a reason.
