   What a poetic analogy. You can extend that to the fact that anthropomorphic-change denying Republicans also eagerly support Putin’s war on Ukraine. Russia thinks it’s the beneficiary of climate change as its land becomes warmer and so the myopia lines up. Libertarian vision is laissez faire (“let it happen”). [Externalities](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/externality.asp) be damned.

   I figure it this way. I know we all need to cobble unity between those on the right that accept the truth and those who believe that faith wills truth to one’s will. But for once, as we approach the new 30’s, can’t we admit that God’s possibilities are pretty unlikely? “Let it happen” is not a pro-life position to take. It’s just stupid. Climate ***is*** broken. Fix it.
