There is no need for you to read anything about global climate change from inhabitants of the Conservaverse. Here is a summary of their writings over the next thirty years:
1) It's all a hoax. The climate isn't changing.
2) The climate is changing, but...
2a) The changes are all beneficial.
2b) It's caused by natural cycles or ocean currents or sunspots or something (anything) other than human activity.
3) The climate is changing, and it's a greater disaster than anything within human history, but...
3a) There's nothing we can do about it.
3b) Doing something about it would cost too much.
3c) Let the hungry people of the Third World sacrifice before comfortable Americans have to.
4) The climate is changing disastrously, and we could have greatly reduced the damage if we'd acted promptly and with a reasonable caution, but...
4a) It's too late to do anything about it now, so let's just party until the end.
4b) Someone else should have taken the initiative, not the wealthiest and most advanced nation on Earth, not the nation that puffed itself up as a shining city on a hill with a mission from God to reform the world.
4c) We were all for doing something about it, we could have prevented all of this, if those pesky Democrats hadn't gotten in our way.
