      I desperately want Canada and Alberta to have right-of-centre options that are credible on climate change and other environmental issues. Stating that they're not real isn't going to cut it.

      The right understands that any credible action on climate would be lethal to their politics. They are acting rationally and in the only way they can. Those who are not on the right should base their understanding of the right on that fact.

          Loose use of the word “rational” if you ask me.

          The word "rational" isn't nearly as concrete as people think it is. It's always contextual.

          being consistent with your already-irrational beliefs doesn’t mean you’re acting rationally

          well they're certainly acting but it's clearly not rational or self-interested unless youre made of oil. they're screaming at ghosts and it helps their political project because they're afraid of being alive

          My understanding was that the pivot to "sure it's real but China and India pollute so much more that we really can't be expected to bother can we?" was already well underway though

          Precisely. Conservatism has no solution for climate change, so they must deny it’s a problem.

          Aren't "leaders" supposed to lead and base their decisions on future-leaning analysis and solutions that benefit the whole, instead of their own reelection? Yes they're "representatives" but isn't there more to it than that?

          Not these days, I think. Maybe not even in the past.
