The inexcusable GOP refusal to act on the irrefutable science of #climatechange has two core roots:
1. The direct financial bribes they get from fossil-fuel companies, and
2. The fact that any effective response requires strong governments and international cooperation, two things they abhor.

@petergleick Not sure I agree on the strong government part. They do like a strong government when it serves their interests.

If they would just stop subsidizing fossil fuels and liberalize energy markets (see Texas) that would be a weaker, less involved government and result in more climate action, or am I missing something?
