Regardless of what you think of Tree huggers, Greenpeace, or Al Gore, it just seems like basic common sense to minimize harmful emissions into the air. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, just plain common sense to clean up poisoning our rivers and lakes from mining and pesticides, clean up dumping crap into our oceans, chopping down our forests, brutally killing whales, seals, sharks (fin) and endangered spieces so recklessly it effects our eco-system and allows our kids/grandchildren to only experience God's creatures thru text books(recycled paper of course), museums and the Discovery channel. Conservative is derived from the word Conservation, meaning the act of conserving and managing our natural resources. Not for the sole purpose of being frugal with money, afraid of change, and closer to God than your nieghbor (which is a myth anyway).
Without common sense from those afraid of "change", the earth will eventually get the human equivalent of cancer.
