“Upwards of 97 percent of climate scientists agree that our industrialized civilization, sculpted from highly transportable, energy-dense fossil fuels, is boosting Earth's greenhouse effect, which is melting glacial ice and will eventually flood all coastal cities of the world.”

“Trope 3: Republicans are racist, sexist, anti-immigrant homophobes. Democrats embrace all peoples.”

“Earth is instead a giant killing machine. Holding aside all the climactic and geologic forces that would just as soon have you dead, such as droughts, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes, there's no end of creatures that want to suck your blood, inject you with venom, infect your physiology, or simply eat you.”

“The denial of climate change poses an existential threat to the stability of civilization— a position that lands squarely amid conservative platforms, although there's been some progress over the years. Initially, the conservative battle cry was denial, which later morphed into an admission that climate change is real, but humans aren't causing it.”

“Of the fifteen most religious states, eleven had laws on the books ready to ban or greatly restrict abortion the moment the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that decriminalized abortion. Clearly, belief in a loving, compassionate, Christian God and in the sanctity of all human life (viable or not) strongly motivates these views. They're not being bad citizens, they're being good Christians— although ten of those same eleven states also embrace the death penalty.”
