Six years ago, North Carolina Republicans voted in a law decreeing that the seas weren't rising

In fairness, they didn’t actually pass a law that the seas were not rising, only that the responsible officials could not recognize the obvious fact that they are rising. This is very much an ostrich law, in that if we don’t acknowledge an inconvenient fact, that it will go away. Never has worked, never will work. But that pretty much summarizes the right wing right now.
