And don't get me wrong. It's not that environmental issues outweigh everything else for me. Far from it. For exactly the reasons being stated.
It's the fact that Randy Kerr doesn't believe in climate change. That he denies scientific research and papers in favour of hoax websites. He routinely had spewed right-wing, conspiracy theories on his Facebook with no critical thinking. He was told something that agreed with his world-view and decided to believe it fullstop. He's not reasonable or rational. Which regardless of which side of the political spectrum is or your person policies, should be near the top of the attributes you want from your politician. I want a politician who can set aside his bias, listen to experts and make informed decisions. You should too.
And yet this is who won the party nominations. It doesn't give me faith in the party.
