You know how whenever it snows and Republicans are all "Ah HA! SEE? SEE?! WHERE'S YOUR CLIMATE CHANGE NOW?! HUH? HUH?
Enjoy your heatstroke and drought. https://t.co/ZzZKII191J

Meanwhile, still fighting climate change
Dark money is still trying to stop any attempt to seriously deal with climate disaster:
"An unrelenting drought and record heat have pushed the water supply at Northern California's Lake Oroville to deplete to 'alarming levels,' which will likely force the first-ever closure of the Edward Hyatt Power Plant since it opened in 1967."https://t.co/sLeN07B073

Remember Enron?
And Texas leaders bragging the California energy crisis could never happen in their state? Looks like they can’t handle winter OR summer there:

GOP on climate change
IIRC correctly, this is exactly what George W. Bush did during his administration: Talk about your concerns, just don’t actually do anything!
Hilarious. At a private GOP retreat, conservative lawmakers are urged to a) talk more about climate change, because voters care about it, and b) not actually do anything about climate change, because fossil oligarchs don't like it. So … stay the course?https://t.co/ZYmxb6cIz3

Oy
New from me: Biden wants to pay for a climate plan with taxes, not the deficit, to calm the eldritch demons of finance: bond vigilantes. This limits the scope of his package.
But in the 21st century, markets will punish failure to spend ENOUGH on climate https://t.co/fDX7PiB2un
