The Wyoming legislature is afraid that if you teach students about climate change, their state economy will crumble and die. I don’t know how “Ignorance is bliss!” became a pedological theory, but it’s not alright.
In related news, the cost in increased energy prices from requiring power companies embrace renewable energy sources is so minuscule, I’d happily accept it as the tax for breathing clean air completely independent of its impact on mitigating climate change.
