    Ahhh, yes. The conservative backpedalling.

    It’s not happening. It’s happening but it’s all cyclical. It’s not cyclical this time but it’s not our fault. It’s our fault but global warming is good ackshually. Global warming is bad but there’s nothing we can do about it. We could do something about it but it’s too expensive/late. Maybe it’s not too expensive but THE CHINESE!

      In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

      Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

      In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.

      Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.

      but global warming is good ackshually.

      My dad unironically used this argument when we were talking about this last week. Some people have their heads so far up their own ass, it’s just sad.
