No. Politicians literally do not publicly talk about global warming because they know it's a non-starter, or at least they don't make a big fuss about it. Unless I'm just that out of touch.

The issue isn't so much, "Is global warming man made?" The urgent question is, "Can human endevour reduce or stop a worrying escalation of global warming?" Most of the scientific community, the Paris Agreement signatories, the Dems and Al Gore seem to think it's worth trying. Even plenty of US industries have declared that they will continue to follow the parametres of the Paris Agreement for fear that their products will be boycotted if they don't.

I mean yeah it's worth trying, and so all you people who are foolish enough to think that you can reason with idiots should do so. You're going to do it anyway so I'm not going to try convincing you otherwise except for the sake of a fun argument. Blind squirrels do occasionally find a nut after all.

Not wishing to revisit the arguements of the last zillion posts, but it's undeniable that voters do have a voice, consumers do have a voice. Maybe it's not always heard, but that's no reason to stop using it imo.

Choice is at least partially an illusion when the cultural narrative keeps the train on one single track.
