    Climate is 1 of the biggest post-Trump fears. This post (from Carbon Tax Ctr) offers a good perspective. https://www.carbontax.org/blog/2016/11/10/after-the-trump-win/ …

        Only because it is yet another area of public dialogue where the left shut down debate with insults. It is an exaggerated fear.

        trust me, it's not exaggerated. Read the Sixth Extinction for starters. It has a lot of important facts

        Exaggerated. I've read the actual papers, read the actual science. The CAGW conclusion is not supported by evidence.

        I'd love to read these papers, because that is not the consensus

        Science does not advance by consensus, it advances by falsification. Consensus means nothing in science.

        there is a reason why some things, like evolution, are consensual: because the evidence is overwhelming

        Evolution has been around for 180 years as a scientific discussion. Global warming has been around for less than 30.

        do you feel like progress can be made at the state level despite federal deregulation of coal/oil, and no carbon tax?

        Only Sanders was asking for crbn tax. Clinton was looking at public opinion before deciding (Wikileaks). You are equally culpable.
