Thanks for actually looking into this.
"This is yet another pro-left source trying to create an issue where none exists."
Nothing could be more true and it happens every single day. What I don't understand is why people on this forum leap on this kind of thing like vultures on a carcass ... immediately believe the worst and pronounce it Trump's fault (by inference).
Could someone 'splain that to me.
@Emjay Yeah, I can.
From what I knew at the time Trump appointed Mattis, I thought he was a great pick. IMO he's less so now. And yes, as far as I'm concerned, anybody who's running around saying that the entire government needs to be marshaled to fight climate change is an idiot. Any leftist spouting such nonsense would be called out as just that, and I don't see how it's any different when someone on the right does it. The whole concept is idiotic.
If he thinks the government can affect climate change, why wouldn't he think people caused it in the first place? Again, there's no basis for assuming he thinks otherwise...except that we want it to be true.
It's disappointing. I thought the man had sense. But since this is his POV, it's not my business nor my inclination to defend him.
