What kind of freakin´ moment?

 


From the short piece linked below: 

>>>On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that if officials in California believed their own rhetoric on climate change, they would have been better prepared for the recent fires.

>>>Marlow said, “This needs to be the Abu Ghraib of the climate change movement. … [T]here were no firebreaks, there wasn’t enough brush cleared out, there was no water conservation done, there was nothing done to make sure the hydrants were working. … All of this should have been mitigated against if you really took climate change seriously.”

Not sure why he makes the bizarre comparison with Abu Ghraib, or what it´s even supposed to mean, but there is no contradiction between "activists" (not to mention politicians) pointing to a real problem (in this case climate change) and then doing shit about it. Indeed, isn´t this SOP for both Democrats and Republicans? As for problems which don´t even exist, both sides play that game, too...

Maybe realizing *that* would be the real "Abu Ghraib moment". 

The Abu Ghraib of the climate change movement
