Phil Fortunato thinks reducing greenhouse gas pollution will STARVE THE RAINFORESTS.

You have to laugh so you don& #39;t cry that people like this are in positions of power. #WAleg
Now we have some more straight-up climate denial by Doug Ericksen. Regarding emissions reductions goals: "these numbers are not based on science." Let me introduce him to the IPCC... for example. https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/spm/">https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chap...
Mike Padden staying on topic by ... praising Trump& #39;s vaccine "efforts".
Learning that Republicans will not only call anything a tax (when it& #39;s not a tax) but they& #39;ll call anything a /gas tax/! Looking at John Braun on this one.
Relatedly, Republicans only seem to worry about so-called regressivity when they& #39;re trying to protect oil industry profits, data be damned! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
Republicans on climate policy: Is it a gas tax? Or an income tax?
Ericksen is mad that Seattle doesn& #39;t have "windmills."
Curtis King is also mad that there are no "windmills" in /downtown/ Seattle. (Because yeah, that really works...)

This debate has turned into Republican wind power hate fest.
I am just aghast at Phil Fortunato right now. I can& #39;t be witty about it.

Full out climate denial and some serious racism all in one go. "There is no disproportionate impact on communities of color. I asked my Vietnamese friend."
Phil Fortunato thinks climate change is a hoax because we dropped a bunch of bombs during WWII and did not increase CO2.
Jeff Wilson: "What does a tree say when it is talking to carbon? Nummy, that is good."
