The Washington Post blamed the Electoral College for making so-called man-made global warming nearly impossible to “thwart.”
The last two U.S. presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College have actively worked against efforts to end global warming, Todd Cort, the co-director of the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, wrote Monday in an editorial for The Washington Post.
“At the very least, the impact of the 2000 electoral college vote was a delay of four years in addressing climate change (and it is arguable that even though Bush won his second term with the popular vote, that scenario would have been far less likely were he not the incumbent thanks to the 2000 vote),” Cort wrote.
Former President George W. Bush’s victory set the fight against climate change back several years, he added, because it kept Nobel Prize winner and former Vice President Al Gore from kick-starting the climate change warrior movement earlier.
He then went on to blame the Electoral College, whose members met Monday to officially determine the next president, for the advent of Trump — a self-proclaimed climate skeptic who once said global warming was a “hoax” perpetrated by China to hurt American business.

In other words, people in the heartland who actually live their lives around weather changes, don't see the problem and want a President who will focus on other things.

That’s like making it harder for Don Quixote to fight windmills.
PJ—The globull warming strategy failed in the heartland because it was claimed global warming would cause the seas to rise and coastal cities to fall into the sea and the people in the heartland said.....
so what.... ;-)

In other news, the Electoral College also makes it harder to alter the law of gravity and to travel back in time.
The left actually loves "democracy." It is a Republic that they despise. A democracy, at its core, is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The left, through its media/entertainment/academia propaganda complex, can drive the wolf pack in whatever direction it wants to eat the sheep. And it keeps the sheep cowed and submissive. It is only possible when the government is without limits on its power.
A Republic of limited governmental powers, subject to the Rule of Law, is the only way the sheep have rights to not be eaten. And that's why the left despises it, because it gets in the way of their plans.
I guess they should hang their heads in shame for being instrumental in aiding the Santa Ana winds. Bush got blamed for the winds, why not the electoral voters?
While you’re at it, get them for killing Kennedy, force therm to tell where they buried Jimmy Hoffa and where they are hiding Hitler. They are obviously as guilty as sin. Oh, my, get them for that too.

You’re confused because you are a SCIENCE-DENYING RETHUGLIKKKAN! SCIENCE!
OK, science says that carbon dioxide is magic. SCIENTIFIC magic.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, which warms the planet, which makes the temperatures HOT.
CO2 is also a Gaia irritant, which gives her dry itchy skin and causes her to be COLD, which is a CLIMATE CHANGE from the usual warming caused by CO2.
See? SIMPLE SCIENCE!
X and Y chromosomes? They don’t determine anything, no CONSENSUS of SCIENTISTS have said so...
