- jfengel 3y agoThey've flirted with it before, only to go dashing back to denialism at the next snowflake. So I suspect this is temporary: "This egregious summer is not a problem. We have a trivial solution so we can go on burning fossil fuels." They hope it will blunt the criticism while continuing the path of doing nothing at all.
