@Sandywb @davidsirota During the height of COVID, Trump tried claiming that COVID would vanish if we simply stopped testing for it. Apparently, the Republicans are adopting that technique to deal with climate change.

"If we all just stopped talking about it, it would vanish!"

Too bad that the climate doesn't care if we talk about it or not just like COVID didn't care if we tested or didn't test. Reality doesn't go away because you don't like it.
