The gas stove hearing and one point I'd like to make...

Republicans think that since other counties may not comply with green energy policies, we should not try to do something about climate change. As least some republicans are not denying global warming is a thing.

The part of this testimony(at 4 minute mark of the attached)



by Republican Donalds , (beyond probably that there is no proposed ban on gas stoves) is that Republicans care more about the current year than about the next 5, 10 or 15 years. Instead let's do nothing about the planet's future and the excuse is that other countries are not doing anything (not absolutely true).

When they don't support changes to fight global warming, they are condemning the futures of their (and my) children and grandchildren.

That is what pisses me off...paraphrasing: "they say the problem is difficult, so let's do nothing".
