I love how basically no liberals pick up on this being a complete and utter acceptance that climate change is happening by conservatives

Like there is no world in which Greenland is important to have where climate change can be denied to exist

The share of conservatives who deny the outright reality of temperatures changing receded long ago. 

The line from those who challenge climate science has for the past decade been that the climate is changing, but they doubt fossil fuel emissions are the main cause. A step below that are those who say that emissions from the U.S. are negligible, and therefore it's simply illogical and economically suicidal to mitigate our pollution while India and China charge ahead.
