Spanish Inquisition redux: accept climate change or else

For all the democrat grumbling about making sure there are no religious litmus tests for cabinet candidates, the committee hearings for Donald Trump's nominees are rife with them. Candidates sitting before members of Congress are subject to a single mantra coming from democrats--"do you accept and believe that climate change is real and your job, first and foremost, is to combat this threat to the world?" All right, so this is paraphrasing the badgering of democrat senators from the hapless Jeff Merkley to the obtuse Kamala Harris, but it puts in plain language what they think is the greatest global peril. Not ISIS and other murderous terrorists, not Russia (except in how it supposedly "hacked" the election), not China in its takeover of major shipping lanes in the South China Sea, not North Korea in its flagrant ICBM-building, not Ebola, Zika or other viruses, and certainly not Iran which Obama outfitted with everything it needs for nukes. Nope. Because, in their minds, all these dangers are caused by climate change.
