The GOP Climate Change Playbook:
1) Climate change isn't real.
2) OK, it is real but but not caused by humans.
3) OK, it is caused by humans but is minimal.
4) OK, it is cause by humans but nothing we can do about it.
5) OK, we can prevent it but it would cramp our lifestyle.
6) Big Oil likes the status quo and we like Big Oil.
