Coney-Barrett is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. The Republicans are too scared by reality to actually do the right thing for the country.
I think McConnell took a really bad fall with bruises on his hands and face. When that occurred with Harry Reid, it was a sin, but, McConnell's reality is swept under the carpet.
I never expected a Supreme Court Justice to be an idiot when it comes to climate. It is the most demanding issue facing the USA that has enormous and damaging stroms in the Gulf and Atlantic while wildfires rage in the west of the USA, yet Coney-Barrett is clueless because of the controversy. What controversy? There is something about wildfires? There is no controversy. The wildfires are real. There is controversy about the storms rolling into the USA destroying large swaths of land? There no controversy, it is REAL.
I have been writing about this issue on this blog since 2004 at the point the Christmas Tsunami took place. I have noted every major ice movement that has occurred on Earth further compromising Earth's ability to mitigate climate. There is no controversy, there is simply political inconvenience for the Republicans because of their cronies. Coney-Barrett's ignorance to the topic speaks loudly to her lack of interest in the issues of the people of the USA.
“Judge Coney Barrett has displayed a profound inability to understand the ecological crisis of our times, and in so doing she enables it.”
The following op-ed (click here) has been signed by dozens of leading climate and science journalists, listed below.
We are science and climate journalists. We are researchers and weavers of information, creating a fabric that explains the work of scientists who themselves are working to describe our natural world and universe. We are published in the nation’s leading outlets, both large and small, including Scientific American, Nature, National Geographic, MIT Technology Review, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The New Yorker and many more. Over decades of reporting on the threats and now deadly and devastating harms of worsening climate change, we have succeeded in at least one respect. The vast majority of the world’s people, including those in the United States, not only acknowledge the scientific certainty of climate change, but also want action taken to address it....
