[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4100687, member: 76548"] No we hear about conservatives denying the science. Which, if the level of religion that pervades their politics is any indication, is totally par for the course, I guess. Liberals and science-minded conservatives who want to do something about climate change before it's too late aren't fear mongering - they're trusting the scientists and trying to save our planet for future generations because that's not only the righteous thing to do, but the only sane decision to make. Pushing through and ignoring our species potential extinction or destruction of our coastlines at the very least, is against our very nature, meaning our deeply ingrained sense of self-preservation. Fight or flight. Climate change is a danger we can't run from unfortunately, we've got to fight it with every tool in our technological arsenal - fighting in this case could also have fantastic economic expectations too. Going green will revitalize our infrastructure and provide new jobs and wealth for decades to come AND help revitalize our environment. Win :censored:ing win. Period. This shouldn't be a conservative or liberal issue, or an American issue - it is a human issue, a wildlife issue, a planetary issue. If any political party is so anti-regulation that they can't see this, I really don't even know what to say. The fact that conservatives have let this become, or always considered this a political issue, is a testament to their stupidity - they are letting their selfish desires for preserving their wealth or their fossil fuel industry job color this, and that's about as vile as you can possibly be. Not to mention shortsighted, and unimaginative. Wealth and jobs will not be a problem when we're overhauling our entire energy system and infrastructure. It will be the single greatest windfall this country has had since the industrial revolution. But unlike the industrial revolution, it will start us on the road to environmental repair and revitalization, as opposed to the road to environmental catastrophe. Recognize. [/QUOTE]
