    This is how they always do it. Vehemently deny that he did it until the evidence is incontrovertible. Then do a complete 180 and say of course he did it but there’s nothing wrong with that.

      That didn’t happen.
      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
      And if it is, that’s not my fault.
      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
      And if I did, you deserved it.

      Standard Republican obstruction.

      Global warming is not happening!
      OK, maybe it’s happening, but there’s no evidence it’s human caused!
      OK, maybe it’s happening, and maybe it’s human caused, but doing something about it would be too large an economic burden! <- You are here.
      OK, maybe it’s happening, maybe it’s human caused, and maybe the costs to fix it were less than the costs of doing nothing… but now it’s too late anyway…
