Climate change deniers while absolutely corrupt and in the back pocket of Big Oil - there is also another component to it; extreme and toxic religion.
The Christian Nationals do not believe that we humans can destroy earth - they think only God can destroy earth. This is another primary reason why they do not care about the climate.
Our negligent, derelict, corrupt Republican Governor Bill Lee here in Tennessee told tennesseans on 27th to pray and fast. More empty words from Republicans - nothing about evacuating or preparing or find your nearest shelter.... just sit at home incessantly praying without eating...... until the hospital in East Tennessee is underwater and 50 people have to be airlifted out of there.
One of the ironies of your very well-researched and -written article is that Texas also leads the nation in renewable energy (wind and solar). Those industries have to fight the fossil fuel boys tooth and nail to get even a fraction of the subsidies that are allocated to fossil fuel energy in Texas.
FAR FROM TEXAS, BUT STILL RELEVANT: My sister and her husband built their retirement home in the hills of NC--- about 10 miles from Asheville. I was frantic when I saw news of the incredible destruction there. They were without electricity, water, internet and cell service for 4 days. Today I was finally able to get a text message through to my sister on her cell. Thankfully, their home was spared from mudslides and they now have electricity and a (rather dodgy) water supply. They were incredibly lucky not to have been washed away in a nearby mudslide. Donald and his MAGA climate deniers need to get real. Here’s hoping we can turn the tide in this state!!! 20 more days to early voting!
Great article.

Just awful.

So true.
