Oh, this should generate some hate mail for the Washington Post:
The White House released a third iteration of the “U.S. National Climate Assessment,” claiming it is “the most comprehensive scientific assessment ever generated of climate change and its impacts across every region of America and major sectors of the U.S. economy.” The report emphasizes the need for “urgent action to combat the threats from climate change.” Well, here are five reasons voters don’t believe what the White House says on climate change…
…and proceeds to relentlessly list said reasons, which are: overreach; hypocrisy; hyper-partisanship; the impossibility of foreign cooperation; and a general inability to trust the government when it says anything. Absolutely, read the whole thing: I could have written it. That it showed up in the Washington Post amuses me; that it showed up under their PostPartisan label* makes me anticipate the screaming even more.
I must say, this new Era of Bezos has its points.

*Oh, I understand the pun. I expect, however, that the radical religious fundamentalist crackpots who will get all het up over the perceived attack on their odd nature worship will not.
Count me as cynical, but I’ve long maintained that the press will remember their duty when Republicans are back in office. (And then they’ll remember it with a deep and abiding antipathy.) With the clear prospect of the Republicans taking control of both the House and the Senate, the press needs to regain some credibility so that their anti-Republican blathering isn’t dismissed as just more of the MSM agenda crapola.
Not unlike, say, our establishment Republicans who are suddenly sounding a Conservative note in the face of being primaried.
