Regardless of what position you take, here's my issue.
There certianly is debate as to how much influence man is having on atmospheric warming, but the energy industry and their right-wing mouthpieces are trying to kill the debate completely.
The net effect of this is that as a country or a planet we're simply not going to be prepared for very real threats to the global environement.
Additionally, there's tremendous potential for a US led Green Industry to bolster the US economy for decades, but this is being held back by those looking to bleed the Earth dry in the name of short-term profit.
Not only is this hurting economically, but it's continuing to fund the same middle eastern nations who are supporting terrorisim.
But say this to Rush Limbaugh and it's all just a liberal conspiracy
