Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Article [II.]
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
From my experience, those who have the most trouble letting go of old ideas are conservatives. In fact, isn't that the definition of conservatism?
New idea, late 20th century- Carbon pollutions contribute to global warming. Those who have yet to embrace the science? Liberals or Conservatives?
Various polls and printed studies place the number of scientists around the world who accept global warming as sound science to be above 90%. Some place it as high as 99%. I can't think of any example in the modern era where 90% of scientists got something wrong. Can you?
Differences come into account when you get into the long range effect of climate change. But the fact that it is occurring seems about as sound as science can get.
Considering the plausible outcomes of doing something about this potential threat, or ignoring it, it seems rather naive, let alone irresponsible, to ignore it. Even if you're not on board with the science of climate change, most would agree that developing alternatives to fossil fuel energy consumption is of vital importance strategically for reasons of national and economic security.
I suggest that people quit allowing your politicians to use this issue as a political wedge issue and start coming up with action plans to deal with it.

so you advocate taking action and doing something (whatever that is) but then don't do anything yourself to battle man caused global warming? how obtuse.

Here's a few tens of thousands that are from the USA who don't accept global warming of which I am one...

31,487 American scientists have signed this petition,
including 9,029 with PhDs
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!

Wow! Well, I guess I'm right again. And the libs take another one to the chin. Not in a gay way or anything...
