The Right denies global warming: this is great for winning rural votes and energy states. It utterly loses in California and highly educated areas not dependent on the energy industry.

This is why I have written a 10 part series on why we need Green RINOs to give the Left competition in those areas written off by the Republican Party. It is double plus easy to come up with a Reactionary agenda that is Greener than Team D's Green New Deal. Convincing PBS viewers that global warming is a hoax is darn near impossible.

As for whether global warming is an imminent threat? I don't rightly know. I don't really care since I can use the issue just as well as the conformunists can. For example: DEI and safe nuclear power don't mix. And cities with beggars and muggers are not bike friendly, no matter now many bike paths you build.

Be Machiavellian. USE the global warming issue. (If you want to be Principled, just say you are accepting the will of the voters and being Precautionary.)

Have you tried your agenda on an actual leftist Green voter?

Yes. And some of them came out to work on the Ron Paul R3VOLution.

I'll write more on such matters in my next post.

Um, in order to win California the right would basically have to become the left.

BTW, California is also dependent on the energy industry, where do you think their electricity comes from? They're just too dumb to realize it.

"...conservatives have engaged in politics as if it were professional football..."

Yes, in many ways football is a perfect analogy for why the right is losing the game of politics.
