    America is a big place my friend and not all of it is Iowa. I’m from Massachusetts and Iowa is about as far away from me as Paris is to Moscow. Please don’t be so quick to generalize us all.

      It isnt just 1 dude, this dude is an expression of a movement that has a president/presidential candidates that support his point of view. The only other climate change “skeptic” leader that i am familiar with is Bolsonaro. In Europe, i am pretty sure all mainstream candidates agree on this, even Orban.
