Climate change deniers make up nearly a quarter of US Congress | Climate denialists – 23 in Senate and 100 in House – are all Republicans and make US an outlier internationally

I mean, we are living it so we all know how this happens. Wealthy conservative people own media, and that media convinces uneducated voters to believe the thing that allows wealthy people to make more money. Those voters vote for politicians who believe the same thing, elevated and propagandized by the same wealthy people.

But because climate change denial is demonstrably false, this isn't just wealthy people having more representation. This is the level of representation that wealthy peoples' fantasies get.

We're pretty far gone, aren't we?

It would be tragic if they all suddenly died of heart failure. Just really, really sad.

Don't worry about being an outlier, Canada is set to elect federal climate denying Conservatives soon enough.
