Obtuse, thickheaded, and fatuous best describe Wisconsin embarrassments and climate deniers Glenn Grothman and Tom Tiffany

From The Nature Conservancy:
The evidence connecting the climate crisis and extreme wildfires is clear. Increased global temperatures and reduced moisture lead to drier conditions and extended fire seasons. Prolonged heatwaves can take what was once a natural event in the fire-cycle process and supercharge it into a maelstrom that devastates entire communities. And, crucially, worsening wildfires mean larger amounts of stored carbon are released into the atmosphere, further worsening climate change.  [emphasis added]

Recently Grothman and Tiffany voted to pass a budget bill that 
  • prioritizes fossil fuels over clean energy
  • eliminates incentives for purchasing electric vehicles and efficient appliances
  • opens federal lands for oil and gas drilling 
  •  phases out tax credits for solar and wind energy
  • hog-ties the Environmental Protection Agency rule-making and regulatory authority. 

It add more fuel to the fire, literally and figuratively.

The depth of their denial and ignorance is bottomless.
