If Ayn Rand were alive today, she’d be a climate denier. And she’d still believe the tobacco companies that caused her death.
I call Libertarianism “Tinker Bell Economics” - it’ll only work if everyone believes and claps their hands.

Fore mentioned a-holes do not have one iota of care for humans. Need evidence, look at what they do, not what they say.

There has been no increase in storms, in intensity or frequency.
There are only a few storms each year, so it’s difficult to draw an exact correlation until it’s far too late.

I think that most of the denialists don’t even believe what they are saying…that it’s just a game that they benefit financially and politically from winning, and denialism is one of the tactics.

You can say “climate deniers aren’t part of the normal political discourse” all you want. It won’t change the fact that, in the United States, they are part of the normal political discourse.

Are short term mega-profits an acceptable trade off for long term mega-losses?
You know, if everything collapses, the billions you have in the bank might just be worthless when people resort to bartering.
The same goes for their corporate-friendly “science”. It’s especially amusing since they always portray themselves as beings of supreme reason.
Welcome to Idiot America.
