The only way some of these yokels can stand against our efforts to mitigate climate change is if they are deep in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. So deep they cannot hear, cannot see, cannot think straight.

The idea that people know better, but still oppose efforts to reverse climate change because they are convinced it will negatively impact their livelihoods is just suicidally short-sighted.

Considering the state of our educational system in the US, the future does not look bright.
