6. Ignore? What a poor choice of words.

The gop isn't ignoring it.

Far from it. They know exactly what it means. People like the Kochs get all their wealth from fossil fuels. Many of our states get a big chunk of their income (the part that falls off the tracks) from fossil fuels. The cold states depend it to survive. The fracking industry needs water and they don't care if the people who live there can't anymore (all to the good cause then they won't have pesky complaints about taste and flammability).

They're not ignoring it...lord no. They have it foremost on their agenda.

It's just a different agenda.
