You know what's sad? I remember my right-wing geography teacher telling us students that this would happen way back in the 90s. It's sad that one of the main parties in U.S. politics doesn't think this could, would or is happening.

Surely they know it's happening or will happen but are doing whatever it takes to prioritise profit/security in current priority sectors?

Your geography teacher warned you about media painting 2mm sea level rise as a cause for eroding islands?

I think it's obvious that politicians who deny anthropogenic climate change are on the payroll of oil producing megacorps like Exxon-Mobil.

How ironic that we let these politicians commit treason (undermining American energy security is unquestionably treason), yet go after imaginary threats, justifying pervasive surveillance on innocent American citizens.

It just goes to show how rotten to the core our system has become.

How is undermining American energy security "levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid Aid and Comfort"?
