context: "Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, says he does not think a lot about climate change. He cares about environmental stewardship, he explains, in the way hunters and farmers do. He has noticed, too, that Georgia’s coastal roads are flooding more these days.
  But when it comes to assessing whether human-caused carbon emissions are warming the planet, Kemp disclaims any expertise. He reminds me that he is not a scientist, retreating to generalities."
  “Look, I think man causes all kinds of problems every single day, whether it’s violent criminals — I’m sure there’s effects on the environment from people that do things the right way and people that don’t.”
  Can you believe this level of self denial or worse deceit.  The ideology is so deep that even with clear evidence of climate change he has to call his concern "environmental stewardship" and dance a complicated dance to avoid admitting its worse.  This is because it is starting to impact him, but he can't admit being wrong.  Imagine it took republicans 40 years to accept environmental conservation and only because it is impacts them directly.   
  Let me repeat - only because it impacts them and their way of life directly. >

  If that's the messaging it takes to get the piece of shit flat earth idiots on board with fixing the fucking planet, sure.

  Oh well would you look at that. A change. Of the climate. (Snarkiness aside there is another huge contributing factor to the flooding which is the sheer amount of paving that makes the inhabited areas in Georgia less permeable to rain water.) >
  
  There isn't enough paving to alter the actual ability of an large area of Georgia to manage flooding. >

  He loves the money these companies bring in. He won't for a second do anything to encourage Georgians to actually buy their products. >
  
  The thing about Kemp and GA governors before him is that they’ve always campaigned far right yet have governed business friendly - even with businesses that aren’t congruent with right wing politics. That’s why the GA film industry is still a big thing and why the state is going big on solar.
  That’s not to say that Kemp is moderate, far from it. But unlike other governors around the country, GA is still primary a business friendly state regardless of the nature of said business. They aren’t going to turn down a company on spite - there’s too many powerful CEOs in metro Atlanta for that. They’ll take Cletus Confederate’s vote to put them over the top, but they won’t let Cletus dictate what companies are coming here.
