Climate denial by erasure

Good point: When the #Trump admin takes down #climate #data, lays off climate scientists, cuts climate research funding, and terminates climate grants, that "isn’t climate denial in the traditional sense. The days of loudly debating the science have mostly given way to a campaign to withhold the raw information itself. 'I don’t know if we’re living in climate denial anymore,' said #LeahAronowsky, a science historian at Columbia Climate School. 'We have this new front of denial by erasure.' "

"regulatory credits, which are bought by traditional automakers from electric-vehicle companies to make up for the tailpipe pollution from their gasoline-powered vehicles. But this income segment is crucial for #Tesla's finances, having been the main driver of its profit in the first three months of the year.

"Without the income from those credits, sold to internal combustion engine automakers, Tesla would have reported a first-quarter loss,"

"withdrawal of governmental assistance to purchase insurance will most likely result in younger, healthier people’s dropping out of the #HealthInsurance market, leaving enrollees to be, on average, older and sicker — and therefore more expensive to insure. To offset these sicker individuals’ higher medical costs, for-profit health insurers’ main tool is to increase the premiums they charge for everyone."

I always bang the drum that #Democrats pretty much promoted #Trump back into office with their campaign strategies that played exactly into the rhetoric he was using.

I was saying it at the time, and I feel sadly vindicated.

Why didn't Ds attack Trump over #Epstein? Well, I always said they should have attacked Trump over his failures and incompetence.

Instead, as you say, they attacked him with cries of fascism that only built him up in the eyes of voters that were into certain policy proposals.

IMO it was because Ds were more focused on preaching to their own choirs than actually defeating Trump.

And so not only did they lose but they HELPED Trump win.

Sadly, they have not changed course now.

Trump DESPERATE to change the subject from Jeffrey Epstein!
