When I argue for environmental responsibility and the decarbonization of the grid, I often say:
I know there are people who believe, perhaps because this is what they’re told by Donald Trump, that climate change is a hoax. But are there people who don’t believe in cancer? In the importance of our country’s investing in the industry that is destined the dominate the 21st Century?
Trump will be gone soon. Maybe you and I will be gone (in a different sense) before the effects of this administration’s folly in the EV and cleantech industry are fully felt.
But it’s inevitable, unless we turn this around, and soon.
Answer:
No. About 70% of the country objects to Trump’s sociopathic criminality.
He’s supported by about 28% of hateful morons, and 2% of rich greedy, selfish pigs.
As they say, “Check your bank account if you want to know which of these groups you fall into.”
If you want to remain ignorant of science, that’s your choice. Homeschool your kids and teach them that rejecting Christ will send them to an eternity of torment in hell.
You’ll need to start while their still young, while they’re still incapable of asking you why all the little boys and girls who are born in non-Christian countries are doomed to be tortured forever.
Maybe if you can isolate them such that they’ll never question why the bible says the Earth is 6000 years old, when dinosaur bones are hundreds of millions of years old.
If you want to go down this road, which I call child abuse, you have that right.
But realize this: as time passes and science continues to help us cure disease, explore space, extend our lives, and, we hope, help us to avert environmental collapse, your position will reveal itself for what it is: cruel stupidity.
Dr. Brian Cox has risen to the status of what I would call an “astrophysics badass” in a matter of just a few short years. Anywhere you go on social media, there’s Cox making you think the most profound thoughts imaginable.
I won’t give anything away, but I caution you to fasten your seatbelt.
