Is now? The crazies have been anti-climate change/global warming my entire life, how is now any different?
Right? Where has this article been? They've been denying it since the 80s. It's just relevant to people now because their homes are being burned and washed away.
They denied climate change when the oil companies were making "reports" that it wasn't real back then and they're denying it while the 5th record breaking heatwave in a row melts their stupid giant trucks.
Over the entire course of my life, the New York Times has never once been on the right side of an issue the first time. They only come around 5-15 years after the obvious public sea change. Same with the Washington Post.
