To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.

Standard issue conservative. They only complain when it begins to affect them. If he didn't have a farm, would he still have moved in that direction?

Nope.

A common characteristic of conservatives is a lack of empathy.

Am I happy he did? Yes.

Am I holding my breath that he'll actually vote for change? Nope.

I'm not saying that he did, or not completely, but people are allowed to learn and change opinions. It is possible!
