Chunky; just like they like it!
It will be interesting to see how strong the resistance will be when congresscritters realize most of their constituents support carbon limits.
The present, wildly successful business model works on the following (among other things)…
(a) bored Millennials threatened more by images of Godzilla (now playing in theatres near YOU) than Climate Change
(b) The permanent “horse race” between two political parties made artificially “equal” by “false equivalency” (see “g” below)
© The Republican party bought and paid for by fossil fuels
(d) A retrograde Supreme Court to make it all legit
(e) a throng of geriatric hillbillies ready to outvote everyone else
(f) FOX and Talk Radio
(g) Near non-existent investigative Main Stream Media journalism
(h) And, to top it all off, the 0.01% to coordinate (a) thru (g)
That being said, the story below has little or no relevance for changing either the Ball Game sketched out above or the Republican Party

so, is Obama letting voters know that this is the case?
of course not. Because that would be politically smart.
Just like most of them hung up on the NRA and voted for gun control measures in the wake of Newtown. . .
