There is not right prioritization here. Only the one people make. Thats democracy.
- mikeash 10y agoI agree with your second paragraph. There is no right prioritization, only different ones. But there are right facts. And if the basis of someone's prioritization is "climate change isn't even happening, so of course we shouldn't do anything to fight it" then I think it's reasonable to call that position uninformed. The problem isn't that some people think it's unimportant. The problem is that many people think it's not even real.
- ThomPete 10y agoOf course there are right facts, the point is that there are right facts on both sides of the argument. I.e. you can be as educated liberal as you want that does not mean that the facts you care about are more important than the facts som uneducated trump supporter cares about.
