I smell ātax returnsā in the wind!
I think itās more a case of demographic sorting.
Americans are extremely mobile. Every June a new crop of 18 yr olds emerge from high schools in these places, and every year a good portion of them leave. And the ones who leave and the ones who remain are not the same. Decades go by, and people sort themselves. California, where I live, is full of refugees from the South, the Midwest. And over and over again they tell the same story, they had to get out.
And not just the Coasts. Southern cities like Atlanta are quite Blue; absorbing all the āprogressiveā energy from their hinterland.

an open climate change skeptic
Please stop adopting the deniersā soft language. They arenāt āskepticsā any more than young-Earth creationists are āskepticalā about the age of the universe. A skeptic is someone who uses evidence and rational thought to probe weaknesses in a position.
You know who the real climate change āskepticsā are? Climate scientists.
Clovis and everybody like him is a denier. The science is as settled as it gets, and they simply deny the truth of it. Stop using their chosen word, āskepticā, to describe this irrational behavior.

Perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Some Brits call them āclimate change contrariansā. Or just cranks.

āIn general, negating a frame just activates the frame and makes it stronger. I wrote a book called āDonāt Think of an Elephant!ā to make that point. Liberals are often caught in this trap. If a conservative says, āwe should have tax relief,ā she is using the metaphor that taxation is an affliction that we need relief from. If a liberal replies, āNo, we donāt need tax relief,ā she is accepting the idea that taxation is an affliction. The first thing that is, or should be, taught about political language is not to repeat the language of the other side or negate their framing of the issue.ā

Propublica in May reported that Clovis has a bachelorās degree in political science, a masterās in business administration and a doctorate in public administration, but does not appear to have published any scientific papers.
Thereās no need for him to publish, or even to study, any scientific papers. All the science that he needs to know is right there in The Bible.

There are many agricultural college educated farmers and ranchers who are Republicans that could have been chosen for this position and done some good for their industry. Now they get to observe what effects an anti-science hack will let happen to them with no consideration of actual knowledge. The world is like an avocado; you can cram it up your butt. Enter the boofer, stage right.
Once of the great movie scenes of all time.
