Why does it seem so hard for people to understand that people like Trump and Pruitt know about climate change but that they just don’t care? Maybe for people like them it is about politics or corruption or simple spite towards anything that liberals are for?
In any case, what if they do know but just don’t care? Bush/Cheney unleashed a shock and awe assault on the civilian population of Baghdad even though they knew full well that were no WMDs. LBJ sent hundreds of thousands of troops into a genocidal war against the Vietnamese even though he knew that the Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. Lots of death and misery for what reason? Policy?
Denial of Climate Change is policy. When you think of it that way it starts to make sense that Trump and Pruitt et al ignore science!
