      Niche content here, but I'm watching The Reagans and reading Reaganland and am once again amazed that anyone at all takes the Baker-Shultz carbon tax plan seriously

      How would you rate Reagan's handling of acid rain and ozone layer?

      Clean Air Act amendments dealing with acid rain didn't happen until Bush, and the Montreal Protocol story is really overhyped. Both have pretty limited lessons for climate politics IMO!

      Thanks! That makes sense. I suppose one purpose this hype could serve is to give Republicans a usuable (if fictional) past

          Yeah exactly - repeated by lots by Dems too! The acid rain history is pretty fascinating in terms of what lessons get carried forward from it. My favorite fun fact is that a pioneering Heritage Foundation climate denier was an early advocate of using a market based system for it

          Maybe in terms of political lessons the Montreal Protocol is overhyped but in terms of results... well without it we’d already be cooked. https://climateextremes.org.au/montreal-protocol-set-to-slow-global-warming-by-at-least-1c/ …

          In my experience, Dems are just as invested in that mythical GOP past as Republicans are. If not more!

          Listened to a book by Gerald Ford thinking it would connect me to a bygone era of GOP decency. He absolutely loved Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Roger Ailes.
