even trump's own epa and military planners say that MMCC is real and happening because of all fossil fuels we've burned since the industrial revolution began.

Americans put the topic at the bottom of their priority list rather than at the very top.  The tail is trying to wag the dog.  That's not how it works in America.  That's how it works in commie lands.

Good thing Trump pulled us out of the Paris Climate agreements

It was the dems who wanted to subvert the will of the voters.

Senate Republicans asked the Democrats to send the carbon tax to voters for a public vote. They were denied. Republicans then requested that the emergency clause be removed so that voters could use the referendum petition process to bring the issue to the ballot on their own. They were denied again.

To make matters worse, the senate decided to pass a bill that made it extremely difficult for ordinary voters to download petitions on their computers and print them out at home. The state’s leading newspaper decried that it “smacked of voter suppression.” It appeared that the politicians in power wanted to block all future efforts, beginning next year, for voters to exercise their rights to petition their government.

The senate Republicans, seeing that they themselves had been shut out of the democratic process (blocking minority report amendments, late anonymous amendments) and that the voters had been shut out of the process (refusing to send the tax to voters, blocking voters from using the referendum petition process to decide for themselves), then decided to leave the building in protest.

Walking out is NOT a GOP exclusive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A group of Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin blocked passage of a sweeping anti-union bill Thursday by ignoring orders to attend a vote. Instead, they left the state to force Republicans to negotiate over the proposal.

As ever-growing throngs of protesters filled the Capitol for a third day, the 14 Democrats disappeared from the grounds. They were not in their offices, and aides said they did not know where any of them had gone. A state police search is under way.
Hours later, one Democrat told The Associated Press that the group had left Wisconsin.

Sen. Jon Erpenbach said Democrats fled to delay consideration of the bill in the hopes that Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers would discuss changes.
