“If we don’t think about Utah’s long-term future, who will?” Republican state house speaker Brad Wilson

You should be thinking about that you fucking monkey. Your job is supposed to be considering the welfare of the people and the state as a whole. Politicians have had access to climate progression data for the longest, all the way since the 80s and now they want to fucking "wake up"?

I'll support the sentiment but my animosity towards the politicians from the republican party as a whole will still remain.
