For all of you mouth breathing, devolved global warming deniers out there, apparently there is finally hope that youll be brought out of the darkness.
Mega-wealthy hedge fund manager Tom Steyer (who has long since made his own bundles of Benjamins and now has the leisure to devote all of his time to sticking his nose in other peoples business) is terribly worried about your lack of education on settled science matters and is seeking to set matters to rights. Speaking at a recent climate conference held in Aspen, Colorado (and really where else would this happen but Colorado?) Steyer explained or possibly Voxsplained how much work remains to be done in terms of converting the hoi polloi to his cause. (This comes from behind the pay wall at Politico Pro, so I apologize for the lack of linkage.)
See, theyve only been able to win over the super-sophisticated people thus far. (Just being nominally sophisticated doesnt cut the mustard these days, it seems.) But with a bit of education dumbed down to the level where even a bunch of hicks like you might grasp it, theres still hope!
The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) had a few choice words for Mr. Steyer which will save me a lot of snark investment here.
ALL of it here:
Billionaire climate activist wants to educate all of you stupid, unsophisticated hicks « Hot Air

I think if you were to go around to most of the what I would think of as super-sophisticated people who think about politics and policy more than five minutes a month we are doing really well, Steyer said today at a conference in Aspen, Colorado, hosted by the American Renewable Energy Institute. And the question in the United States of America is how are we doing with everybody else, which is the 99.5 percent of the people whose lives are very busy and complicated and pressing and they dont have a lot of time to think about the things that dont immediately impact themselves and their family.
And I would say on the former were kicking ass and in the latter we have a long way to go, he added. If were going to make a difference, we cant just hit the people who are focused on policy in the United States. We have to understand how we can reach a much broader audience and make them understand why this is important to them and their families.
