Believe in global warming as a republican? Feel all alone?

Actually you can be my friend, on selective subjects at least.  I have been working this week with a red neck racist republican land owner feeding him drip by drip info on wind energy, wind speed maps of his area, etc.  He owns land a few miles from a wind farm, and it never sunk in this hippie idea might make him money someday if they expand the farm in his direction.  So, as I explain things....he is inching towards being riled up that some in the legislature keep working to restrict wind development in the state, and as I sold to him, restrict ways he can make money.  I predict I will have him writing letters soon, he is not bashful and knows a butt load of politicians.   Never talked about clean air, or polar bears, instead we talked about why should a farmer be told by some dickhead in Topeka coal companies can make money off electricity, but he can't.

Republicans can be brought in from the cold, on some issues, sometimes, maybe, with luck, if your careful.  They poll believing in global warming at 51%, jumped up from 33% 2 yr ago.  The pollsters concluded Repubs are seeing through the years of non-stop bullshit adds by dirty energy just as they did decades ago on tobacco.  The earths global temperature (not your damn towns today, but the whole globe) is increasing, in the last 15 years 13 have been the hottest ever recorded.  Carbon emissions are changing the thermodynamics and chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, it's not disputed, no scientific body in the world disputes this.
