Reality and DB have never made the pleasure of each other's acquaintance.

By "climate kooks" do you mean basically all scientists?

Pundits and political scientists will scrutinize Trump's victory for years to come as they try to explain why he won so decisively. There are, of course, many reasons.

But a key one is that the Democrats lost the allegiance of millions of everyday Americans because they were too willing to prostrate themselves in front of the climate activists who dominate their party and who have promoted ruinously regressive energy policies.

But the national results are only one aspect of the voting public's repudiation of the Left's climate policies. On Tuesday, ballot initiatives on taxing or restricting natural gas use - one in Washington state and the other in Berkeley, California - lost decisively.

Over the next few months, the Democratic Party will have to come to grips with a bitter loss to a candidate they loathe. Eventually, the party will have to correct course if it wants the support of working-class voters. And that will require correcting the course on energy policy.
