Name something the Democrats hate — it stands in the way of communism.

This is what happens when science is hijacked in pursuit of ideologically driven economic policies.
If the Paris Agreement is substantively a joke, then the widespread rage about President’s Trump’s withdrawal is, as many people have already noted, surely a case of mass virtue signaling. But the episode does reflect a larger problem for the Left.
Whenever the United States fails to adopt climate-change policy favored by the Left, advocates like to point to polls that allegedly illustrate how a vast majority of Americans support “fighting climate change” or “reducing carbon emissions” or “believe in global warming.” These vague, feel-good moral declarations are equivalent to voters saying they are in favor “reducing poverty” or “helping children.” The more useful question is what are you willing to do? Give up one of your cars? Pay more for energy, food, housing, and everything else? Do you want to empower government to run the economy to help fix the problem?
When it comes to perfunctorily treating global warming as an evil, Democrats have won. The importance of “greening” everything has saturated society. Everyone gets it. When it comes to policy that supposedly mitigates climate change, though, they lose. Mostly, because they’ve hijacked “science” in pursuit of ideologically driven economic policies.
The cycle goes something like this: Americans are marginally (or what some of us believe, appropriately) concerned about carbon emissions. For Malthusian progressives, and increasingly the rest of the Democratic Party, this won’t do. So they ratchet up the apocalyptic rhetoric in an effort to scare those people into embracing a slate of economic policies.

A conspiracy by communists to take control of the means of production.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.
Name something the Democrats support — it leads to communism.
Name something the Democrats hate — it stands in the way of communism.
Correct.
They pull their polls from the same place they got their
“90% of Americans want Universal Background Checks” and “97% of all scientists...blah, blah, blah”
Correct again. The dimocrats are in revolt. Sedition and subversion are their present methods along with the treasonous deep state internal attacks.
“Democrats Have Lost On Climate Change”
Time will tell. I thought the thing was dead after Climategate, 8 years ago, but it turned out to be just a bump in the road.
“Culture is upstream of politics.” ~Andrew Breitbart
For now maybe. But remember the 'Rats never ever give up. It's like it's in their programming or mutated DNA. They will continue to come back again and again with their uncontrollable hysterics and hate for anyone who disagrees with them. True science and reason be damned.
Wow - short & sweet - I think you nailed it!
look in a country that you have a large number of people that believe in 57 genders and counting and think its “Science” (its really the 2+2=5 test) then you have no hope of defeating global warming propaganda... the lefts propaganda primary point is to makes “useful idiots” that will believe what they are told by their masters
Worse, it's the 1+1=57 test.
That’s a great quote that I’ll remember
When the threat is ****GLOBAL WARMING****, the solution is more socialism worldwide, less technology in the West, and less individual freedom in the West.
When the threat is ****GLOBAL COOLING****, the solution is more socialism worldwide, less technology in the West, and less individual freedom in the West.
NYTimes peddles both sets of threats, but with the same answer to either “danger”. Truth and consistency are not relevant to the agenda of #FakeNews.

Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change . . .
The environmentalist whackos have been predicting one eco catastrophe after another for 50 years. Insecticides, GMO foods, Ozone holes, rainforest depletion, landfill space, PCBs, toxic chemicals, plastic bags, dead oceans, etc. NONE of their predictions have come true, but they are surprised when they are not taken seriously on GW.
