They’re a fitting description of the Republican party’s delusional campaign to deny the environmental crises that threaten our planet and our civilization. We have a name for the purveyors of this deceitful campaign: we call them “climate deniers”. The Republican elites are not just climate deniers – they are extinction deniers too. Science denial on the part of people like Representative McClintock and Representative Bishop should come as little surprise, of course. They stand to lose as much from aggressive wildlife conservation as they do from climate regulation.
