Republicans and critical climate theory
There is a new animal in Congress. It’s called the Conservative Climate Caucus (CCS). It exists because some Republicans can’t resist muddying the waters when it comes to making energy more expensive.
Rep. John Curtis, the former Democratic mayor of Provo, Utah, has established a group for Republicans who want to oppose the Biden climate agenda but don’t want to be considered “climate deniers.”
But other than assuming that “climate change” (whatever that term means) is necessarily bad and that emissions should be somehow reduced (albeit in a “practical” way), there is little difference between Mr. Curtis and his friends and the typical Bush Republican when it comes to climate.
Although both President Joe Biden and his climate envoy John Kerry recently admitted that even zero emissions would be insufficient action from their apocalyptic viewpoint, they nevertheless favor spending trillions of dollars to try to stop our impending doom.
