I’d always imagined Republicans didn’t care about the environment; after all, by the time the rest of us are choking to death from the putrefied air, blistering under 100% UV rays and desiccated from lack of water, the Republicans will have constructed huge domed enclaves, protecting themselves from the perishing masses. They’ll be happily cooped up in front of Bible TV whilst us schmucks quietly curl up and die outside.

This is the stuff of bad sci-fi I know, but the stance of many Republicans toward the environment has had me worried it might come true. Not only that, but that they have already accepted it as a given. They do believe in Armageddon after all. This article from today’s Guardian has given me some hope.
