Still waiting for a shred of evidence ... if it's overwhelming, then it shouldn't be hard for you to find ...
If the evidence that has been accrued and analyzed by the world's climatologists that has enlightened the governments of every nation on earth enough to acknowledge reality is insufficient for your needs, I'm afraid that we'll just have to progress without you and hope that you can eventually catch up.
Former United States Rep. Bob Inglis, a conservative Republican from South Carolina, admits he was “ignorant” on climate change...
But today Mr. Inglis waxes poetic about how trips to Antarctica and the Great Barrier Reef, as a member of the House Science Committee, helped upend his views and spur him to try to win over like-minded potential converts to action on climate change.
“Our deal is to go to conservatives and be able to speak the language of conservatism to them,” he said in an interview, calling such framing “our natural language.”
Mr. Inglis’ proposition was put to the test when researchers rolled out a month’s worth of online ads, aimed at Republican-leaning voters and featuring prominent conservatives talking about climate risks.

A study of those 2019 ads, published in June in the journal Nature Climate Change, found they significantly boosted belief among right-leaning U.S. voters that global warming was a serious threat – a sentiment that still borders on heresy for many conservative hardliners...
The campaign raises hopes that communicators are closing in on solving a long-thorny problem: How to shift public opinion on climate change among a relatively stubborn subset of the U.S. population.
Awareness and concern about climate change has been growing in the U.S., but the shift has been far smaller among right-learning voters in a country where views on climate change often are shaped more by political affiliation than science...
Will there always be a few knee-jerk ideological zealots contemptuous of climatological data that does not comport with their denialist dogma? No doubt.
We can't take them seriously.
Increasingly, Republican politicians, especially those with national ambitions, can't afford to:
... DeSantis’ first days in office were a whirlwind of environmental boons from promises of an annual earmark of $625 million to restore the state’s iconic river of grass to the ousting of the South Florida Water Management District governing board, which was seen as too friendly to agriculture.
The benchmark report of DeSantis’ blue-green algae task force mentions climate change on its first page as a contributor to toxic blooms, while the new chief science officer — a position DeSantis created — said on his inaugural day that climate change is real and that humans exacerbate it.
Since then, DeSantis moved to buy 20,000 acres of Everglades land that was slated for oil drilling so that it could be preserved. He is supporting a bill to create a Statewide Office of Resiliency and Statewide Sea-Level Rise Task force, which were part of his January 2019 executive order on the environment.
A resolution, simply titled “Climate Change,” also is moving through committees that expresses lawmaker backing for resiliency efforts, including the addition of a statewide grid of electric vehicle charging stations.
