Thank you... i stopped reading there. Belief is accepting something as fact without evidence. Just as jesus is a belief, just as the tooth fairy and santa clause are beliefs, and just as the mumba jumba at the bottom of the ocean is a belief. The republicans are nothing more then a party of whiners and contrarians and will go against any group of people even if rational and logical. See Dick Cheney and torture. This comes back to the smoking argument. See, i think it is wrong that people/ businesses who pollute infringe upon ability to breath clean air or drink clean water. Shouldn't i have that right? You have to understand rights don't exist and they are something created by man to improve the quality of life. You don't have a right to anything. In this case people will fight tooth and nail to improve their quality of their life.
I was simply contradicting your statement of my "global warming is bullshit" idea being some wild conspiracy by calling it more mainstream than you make it seem to be.
Most politicians are as you describe Republicans. You just favor one party, and more importantly, the people associated with it. Most politicians are scumbags no matter what party they say they belong to. I just simply like the platform of the Republican Party.
Clean energy solutions sounds good to me, when they actually come up with one that's effective. Until then, let's use the best resource we have thus far - fossil fuels. We are not running out any time soon. We will not live to see the day they are depleted from the earth, nor will our children, and nor will our children's children. Not only have we not even come close to tapping into every discovered oil reserve, but we have not even discovered every source of oil. Does this mean we should forget about finding a viable alternative? No, we should actively seek one. Just don't tell me I need to panic and therefore adhere to any government regulation placed upon me. That's how we got into the Iraq War - people panicked, were sold on the idea that terrorists actively threatened America's security (they do, but because of our foreign involvement, not because we are a free nation), and therefore supported the war along with the Patriot Act.
Listen, you're not a bad guy as you obviously simply care about the environment. I know someone like myself can come off as a real douche by blurting out "global warming is bullshit", especially nowadays, but I truly believe our Earth can sustain itself perfectly in the midst of human industrialization. I don't think the recently recorded alterations in the global temperature is due to us. Let's just agree to disagree.
You cannot be serious. We're around 6.7 billiard people on earth and 1.5 billiard start to use as energie as the american do.

Okay? I repeat: I do not think humans are significant enough to alter the global climate of the earth.
