Listening to science isn't even courageous, its a survival extinct. The GOP is a death cult.

x.com/GenFlynn/sta...

It goes beyond not understanding science. To me, they are on a mission of destruction. I heard a podcaster ask if Trump thinks he is Shiva. It as if everything he touches goes bad. Even the water he released in California never reached LA but flooded nearby farms wasting the reserve for dry time

And the GOP is so owned by the orange criminal in office. Putin said "I bought a President and got the whole GOP for free".

Many Republicans are too stupid to understand what's happening to them, and Trump knows this.

It's not that they don't listen, it's that the model of society they believe in looks like feudalism to the rest of us, and we're the serfs. They need a climate disaster to make this happen.

Yep.

They are totally owned and it is totally disgusting.

They are so owned by lying preachers that they think science is all lies, exactly as their lying preachers tell them.

He could’ve stopped at “….they don’t have the courage.”

There are Democrats that are owned by special interests and big business, too. THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED SO POLITICIANS CAN GET BACK TO SERVING THEIR CONSTITUENTS!!!

You could have stopped at they don't have Courage!

There was an anti intellectual movement during the 90's with Republicans. Fun fact they fought CFCs and styrofoam in the 1980's. And funded MORE NASA research in the 1960's. Once it became entwined in climate change, they decided reality was dumb and oil was better.

These people have been paid off not to believe. They've helped kill us for decades, through food, water, air, and oil and gas. They could give a flying fuck about Americans unless you're in the top 5%. They have no problem killing us for the almighty dollar

And that shouldn’t take courage.

Such shortsightedness will cost us everything.

Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about climate change. Don't wait until Nov. 2026. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

That’s because the bible…

You spelled Rapethuglikkkans wrong. 😜

You spelled RePEDOcans wrong !!✌🏼🤣

It’s sad

Very sad and unfortunate. We need to vote Blue in all state in the next election if we want to save America

This is why they should be billed fir environmental destructions. It’s up to them to them to be liable.

At some point you have to believe they are all either sociopaths or mentally unstable or brain damaged or like POO-TIHN had dirt on The Felon -Felon has dirt on all GOP LIKE EPSTEIN FILES! SICK MFers!!

They have sold their souls to the devil, and everything else to their donors.

Fossil fuels AND AIPAC !!! Totally OWNED as in slave or indentured servants

The producers at Fox network know that 11-year-olds in adult bodies are gullible and understandably defensive given their innate stupidity. This is MAGA. They actually believe a spoiled rich convicted felon, pathological liar and his corrupt party gives a shit about them.

I wholeheartedly agree 👍🏾

They know what he is. But they get paid to lie and play stupid. And as long as they get money and keep their jobs, they will continue to act like they really like the orange pedo. I guarantee you that they probably sit there and talk off air about how stupid and disgusting the orange pedo is.

I bet it's not just the Fox talking heads. Consider how many Ivy League educated republicans exist. Way too many, Litte Marco and Ted Cruz hate tRump but they kiss his ass anyway.

I agree, but when actions hurt ( physically, emotionally, spiritually and economically) others… and they do Nothing to stop it…. I have NO MERCY concerning them too

These Nazi lizards from outer space didn’t like science either!

Neither do the Democrats unfortunately. If they did they would have taken more extreme measures while in power.

They don’t care about their own grandchildren?

Well, they believed it when it gave them iPhones, energy for a weak heart or kept their penises hard.

And here, it’s all parties. We need more “Bernie Sanders type parties”

We’re talking about the “life begins at conception” twits so why would they ‘believe’ science?

You got that right!!!!

100% Fact look at the Republicons Records that we never do !

Money trumps integrity and peoples lives and lively hoods. Oppression is their profession

I agree with you. It's not that they lack the courage. They mostly care nothing at all about science, or truth in general.

I don't get it. You know who puts up a bunch windmills? Oil companies do. They use them to power their rigs that are too remote to run power to. Now we are at past peak production on oil here. So why is big oil fighting against this when they are in a position to make out like bandits with wind?

They use the country for their own profit. Greed leads to treason. Vile party.

They are just bloated with greed, power and corruption like blood filled ticks.

Where did your millions of dollars come from? Do you own a company? Did you create a product? Are you that financially smart? Have you created one job?! How did you get FILTHY RICH?

I'll listen,tell me, what climate crisis?

It’s interesting to note that SCIENCE is what makes their industry function! Try to make gasoline from road tar sometime.

“Contributors” as in ‘overlords.’

Some Republicans didn't, but - ircc - until Bush Jr defunded research on human embryonic stem cells, they approved and often increased NIH, NSF, NASA & NOAA's budgets. They grumbled about the costs of space telescopes and particle colliders, but so did everyone else.

Well it's no surprise that Sanders, as usual, is wrong. We are not in the hands of climate deniers. We are in the hands of climate Accelerationists.

Money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money 💰 money...

The country that became the world leader in science is now the country where opinions are facts and science.

They are TRAITORS!

Nor the intelligence.

They owned themselves . Generational wealth of stock ownership.

Greed knows nothing higher than itself!

It is amazing, especially since it’s SCIENCE that allows the oil companies to refine crude oil into not only gas & diesel fuels but all the myriad modern products we use today! And science also told them what was going to happen by burning fossil fuels and putting fluorocarbons into the atmosphere.

They lack many things and run on greed.

Science doesn't listen to Republican politicians. Because it's immutable...

Yeah, fossil fuels from dinosaurs they don’t believe in because they aren’t spoken of in their fairy tale book about their imaginary friend in the sky.

The science that made drills and all the other shit to drill oil. Then convert to fuel. Then build a car. It’s all science. All of it.

Newsflash Democrats are owned by the same fossil fuel groups

So what else is new?

And yet they use computer, phones, planes, cars, elevators, drink tap water, use guns and ovens and microwaves. Must all be miracles to them.

Courage is a bad word choice. Common sense more like

The democrats R also owned by fossil fuel giants. Biden didn't eliminate oil & gas,... & coal. He had 4 years, OK it wasn't really him making the decisions, but his handlers did. There is only 1 party in the US & it has 2 groups who fight 4 power giving the illusion of democracy when there is none.

It’s scary and dangerous to our fragile planet

climate change doesn't care if you believe in it

This is why we'll fail miserably and end up being a third world country. It's amazing how science deniers constantly use the products and discoveries of science without a second thought. Bunch of stupid hypocrites...

It’s not amazing - it’s criminal. Seems if the bribes via “campaign donations” keep coming, greedy, corrupt Repubs don’t care what the consequences are - even ending all life on the planet. There must be laws that are enforced - for both “parties” that bribery is illegal - period!

Old washed up Bernie.

$ Talks Bernie (unfortunately)

I can explain that. See below:

Not just the courage, most don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand science AND they are proud of it!

I think they don't have the IQ to understand science.

There’s a lot of secession talk going on with our new authoritarian classification for our country. I think this would be another benefit in doing so. Blue states steam forward with climate action, progressive policy, equal rights, and let the welfare states deteriorate as they should.

I know climate change is not just limited to borders, but a third of our nation is dragging down our efforts to lead the initiative. We are the biggest consumers and wasteful nations of them all, and now the leading nation is backing out of our commitments. How does that appeal to other countries?

It's nott gar they don't believe. They don't like results because it makes them look bad.

Bernie should know by now. They only listen to $Money$. Science cost money - Fossil fuel companies donate money.

Most republikkkans can’t even spell science.

It is alarming how many Republican politicians, especially those in the South, are indebted to big corporations. There is so much corruption and undue influence, one wonders if they these politicians are helping big corporations to wave war against ordinary people which should be considered treason?

Sorry Bernie, we just have not yet developed a viable alternative … get busy and fix the hot mess the socialist/Marxist/communist democrat party created.

No they truly lack the intelligence to understand science so instead because they cannot understand it, it must be a hoax. bsky.app/profile/wilb...

LMAO to put Republicans and Science in the same sentence is hilarious

Republicans doesn't need science, they make up their own facts....

It's also the Christian Nationalists ... they think there's a Sky Wizard watching over everything, so imagine what other stupid stuff they believe ...

It’s not amazing. It’s exactly what you need expect from Republicans.

Authoritarians don’t give a F about Science or The Climate. Any Chance on that front is lost UNTIL you take care of the Former. 💜✊🏻

Wh0republicans

Most failed it in school so they deny it.

Magamorons are troglodytes along with their putrid orange leader

If they did, that would be admitting they are and were wrong. Can’t do it just like the orange ball sack.

republicans are nothing but a large cult, currently lead by trump. But even when trump is gone, some other equally corrupt wannabe dictator will rush in to fill the vacuum.

Likewise Reform in UK - ie Nigel Farage. 2019-2024, 90% of Reform’s donations were from individuals and companies with financial interests in oil industry.

They only care about money. Greed is a disease.

They only listen to people willing to stuff their pockets with money, no matter how dirty it is. They have zero morals, values, and integrity.

Yeah, let’s pray to the old man with a beach house and a half million dollar car that’s gonna save us who does nothing but ask us for five dollars over and over and we still can’t figure out a fucking scam

Bernie and AOC and Crockett have not done a motherfucking thing and to be fair but just as dumber, the fucking people who expect the people that don’t do anything to all of a sudden do something

This is why every Republican incumbent should have a challenger in the primary, and we should go out in droves to make sure the challenger wins. Let's see how they react for the 7-9 months when they know their position of power and profit will be gone.

Oh it's all mumbo jumbo to them. If it's more complicated than eggs and chickens it must be against their religion.

Says the multimillionaire socialist.

Amazing? Perhaps. Preposterous? Definitely.

Biden refused campaign funding from oil companies

He had no problem taking AIPAC money, though.

Yeah, and he also tanked the economy when he ended fossil fuel subsidies and new leases on oil and gas drilling. Remember 9.1% inflation? That's what started that - not some "Trump did it" bs. Let's be real about this, and stop blaming one man for the world's issue. Unreal.

Biden didn’t end fossil fuel subsidies, not by a long shot. He rolled back a few small programs buried within existing budget allocations. But the long-standing federal tax breaks benefitting oil & gas companies remain, the repeated efforts of some Democratic politicians to end them notwithstanding.

Moreover, Biden warned Congress NOT to raise existing excise taxes on gasoline and motor diesel, which were last increased in 1993. The real value of those excise taxes in real terms has declined by 55% over the last 32 years.

You raise some good points, and I think it's important to explore these topics further. I'm assuming you saw the Biden executive order that I'm referring to when I mentioned ending fossil fuel subsidies and new leases on oil and gas drilling?

Yes, I did. If you're talking about his budget proposal to Congress, you are aware I assume that those are worth not much more than the proverbial bucket of spit. None of these cuts were enacted. That's why one sees Dem members of Congress introducing bills in each session to achieve those cuts.

The other part of Sec. 209 was an instruction that "The heads of agencies shall identify for the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the National Climate Advisor any fossil fuel subsidies provided by their respective agencies, and then take steps to ensure that, to the extent ..."

"... consistent with applicable law, Federal funding is not directly subsidizing fossil fuels." If they identified and eliminated anything (have you seen a list anywhere?), it was small potato stuff.

I suppose I didn't look at it like that. While I can reason with that EO, the needless war in Ukraine that could've been prevented some 30 years ago, was a key driver to the inflation jump IMHO, along with the failure to quickly rectify supply chain issues during the post-COVID rebound.

Forget to add this to my “ science bad, caveman good “

Science bad, cave man good. Grunt grunt

Yes, the oil that comes from the dinosaurs that they don’t believe in.

These f..k heads are licking the oil companies heads. They are ALL stupid and ignorant … they should all go with elon to Mars and lick each other !!!

Republicans do not have courage. Period.

they go where the money is.. decency and morals be damned

We're seeing today's version of the Village Idiot.

Yeah it's pretty freaking sad think about how large our country is and how much damage can be done to the environment not just on our land but we all around the world breathe the same air people don't understand the sun shines the moon glows no matter where you are on this planet it's all the same

Says the guy who flys around on a private jet. What a fraud and a sell out. All talk, no walk.

Except it has absolutely nothing to do with courage.

Science; "While commonly used and accepted, the term "fossil fuel" is a misnomer that is technically inaccurate. The fuels are not derived from traditional "fossils" like dinosaur bones, but from the remains of ancient organic matter that underwent geological processing over millions of years."

They would sell their children's souls if there was profit in it.

They did.

Same thing with biology

They are "the fossiles" , that's why.

Me either

until one has a heart attack or takes viagra

Obviously, more re-pedo-cans are on that list!

They helped create The Shell Answer Man, that was science-adjacent, twice removed.

And don't forget coal. Big beautiful Bill..... Coal has something like 75k workers country wide if I recall correctly. 75m or more solar jobs. Entire supply chains. But yeah this will totally help American jobs, right?

The only thing they hear is the sound of $$$$ going into their accounts

The Bible is Republican "science"

Listening to well established science requires no courage whatsoever when you’re not an absolutely corrupt dumbfuck

Nor the brains. Playing deaf, dumb, and blind can only get you so far in life. Especially if you’re a Republican.

They don’t believe in science because they don’t give a fuck about the future. They only care about money in the here & now. Humans are an invasive species that needs to die out so this planet & it’s deserving, non-destructive life forms can thrive.

It’s because they’re all filled with gas and the only way they can get rid of it is a fart

People putting more effort in political party than nature building!

Pseudo science is not science. The deficit of intelligence in USA is non partisan.

#GOP-DontHaveCourage sums it all up! 💓Bernie

Yep

They are condemning the world to disasters, starvation and destruction.

Horse de-wormer because, well, why not.

Dragon-pile rich think they can ignore science, truth and facts just by propagandizing to the poor that science, truth and facts are somehow changeable. What this means is that in time, science, truth and facts will roll up into a big ball and crush us all. We will spend DECADES trying to fix this.

All they do? Is believe in BS and falsies. Also being fanatics to the max. This is why their followers have poor IQ.

Greed is a sickness Bernie, all they think about is money, never thinking of the future consequences that will be caused by their avarice. The only cure is to vote them out.

And Bernie doesn't have the courage to call what's happening in Gaza a GENOCIDE, and STILL won't call out ISRAEL, only Netanyahu. Fuck Bernie.

If you're listening... Google PetM and read for an eyeful on climate change.

They believe in false science statements. An individual must desire to remain that ignorant.

... or care about their own children or grandchildren. MAGA talk about family but they could really care less

BERNIE is ganna save you??? do you really think that hes just more government scum. the shitty "socialists" and democrats do not care about you nor are they leftists both these people send money to isreal, they just want shitty captilism

Oh boy, I read that first sentence wrong! I thought it said: “It’s amazing that Republicans are so owned by a fossil.” Oops! My bad!!

It's so them. If it helps the world, but costs a dime, they won't accept the science behind it.

Fossil fuel companies, Exxon, the Koch brothers etc, have known the science for decades; they and all the so called denial billionaires, have for half a century been 'buying' time, 'buying' politicians. Trump was just the perfect useful fool. They have very nearly self-fulfilled-prophesied dystopia.

Science requires intelligence and critical thinking, two things that most people who have use to determine that they are not Republicans.

What is more amazing is that they are also wholly owned by the gun lobby. I can understand how $120 trillion in known reserves can buy a lot of influence. But an industry bringing in less than $100 billion a year. Come on. Smaller than the pet care industry.

Most political corruption is prompted by the requirement that you please your donors.

intelligence is the ability to use the best contemporary knowledge available to manage modern life; unintelligence is using the most ancient, archaic knowledge that served our ancient ancestors but is hindering us now;

Oh shut the fuck up Bernie you take 500 million in Anon PAC money and have voted with Republicans plenty you fucking two faced mercenary.

www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2022...

They reject science because it contradicts their religious beliefs. The fossil fuel money is just a bonus.

MAGA all balless wonders.

While Bernie has never achieved anything tangible on the national or world stage, his sound bytes are always spot on! I support his messages, just not his lack of results!

IT'S AMAZING the BurnieButts have forgotten they gave us Putin's Puppet in 2016. #Hissyfits

Money may not be everything, but it seems to be all you need to bribe any Republican member of government.

Obama and Homer Cali g in us to defend democracy!

So strange!

Republicans only believe in gas guzzling 4x4 behemoths with truck nuts.

They are bought and paid for brother Sanders. VOTE.

We should start making a list of all the people that need to be arrested, besides just the evil, racist, clowns. Didn't the UN declare it a crime against humanity to actively oppose climate action or something recently?

They believe and it fits into the plan...climate change is not bad for everyone...?

If you are an American Evangelical radical - no. No it is not. The end days are a blessing.

It has been my experience that the loudest Republicans are usually the most ignorant and fearful.

Actually, Republicans don't listen to anyone unless they are trading ideas about doing something illegal to take or STEAL from decent Americans Republicans can count on the MAGA GOP TO HELP IN CORRUPTION AND ALL THINGS ILLEGAL. COUNT ON SCOTUS TO HELP UPLIFT THE ILLEGAL PRACTICES OF DONALD TRUMP.

They use to be owned by the tobacco industry and denied the science then also !!

And generations die a horrific death as a result.

Yup

👍🏻

They care only about profits and their miserable lives. The future is a foreign concept to them.

YES👎👎👎👎👎😠😠😠😠😠🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thier greedy and blindness will dear the planet

Addictions are hard to break, especially when they make you rich😒

its not about courage, its about their self interest. the same self interest shewed to us by yon old democrats

Not amazing. Republicans are beyond corrupt. It's all about power and money, not ever about what is right for Americans.

I'm rather taken by the contradiction between them not trusting science yet they are in the "fossil" fuel industry. No such thing as a fossil..... mmmm

No wonder Republicans don't think slavery was so bad, it's the perfect state of being in their eyes

You thibk republicans would be pro gay marriage with all the dick sucking they do for Trump

No matter which country one goes to, the RW share the same small minded regressive, conservative ideologies. They have a huge contempt for progressive ideas, instead they embrace outdated policies every time. They’re stuck in the past with their misogynistic views on women, their strong racial…./2

2/ …prejudices, their unwillingness to recognise climate change reality a/o working toward finding modern solutions along w/ the scientific community, it seems they choose to go through life wearing blinders. Unless one is a multi b/millionaire, voting RW is a vote against your own best interest

They have zero courage.

It has nothing to do with courage. All it's about is sucking the willy of the guy with the fattest wallet. 🙂

Why wont people individually make a choice not to use fossil fuels? Why do people keep using twitter/X? They really dont care

Without science they can't know the impacts of their political decisions

To the extent they will cancel the RI wind power project that is almost finished, investment sunk and 1600 good jobs gone. Oh, RI didn’t vote Trump.

RepubliKKKans 🤣👍

Because they are idiots!

Listening doesn't Pay as well.
