Democrats: What if?

[Computer Loser]

While we're on the subject, these people would accept the science of climate change if an edict came down from their church or another authoritarian institution.

Thankfully, top military officers have recognized climate change as a national security threat (the United States is going to be one of the hardest-hit countries). I can only hope that this recognition—by a masculine authority figure—would lead to wider acceptance.

It's a little more nuanced.

1. Some believe in climate change, some don't. Some do but don't think humans contribute much. Some think humans contribute enough but are unsure how much change we can contribute.

2. Nothing from American politics can be done to solve global climate change. You can solve regional environmental problems, like how Los Angeles cleaned up its air and water, but Los Angeles has no control on how much garbage India sends into the atmosphere and never will.

If there is a solution, it would come from technology, not voting for politicians.

If the Authority is tough and punitive, all the better, because then, that Authority will smite their enemies even harder than they are smiting the true believers. And that's the whole point.
