Climate change is vastly over-rated and exaggerated for political reasons. I do think man has a small contribution to the trend but it's not the major component. The science is anything but proven and the left is using this to tax and spend their way to prosperity. fortunately, only a liberal few Americans will actually vote for the President based on this issue. The idea we should tax our citizens and push our economy down in order to fix a problem which technology will solve over time makes absolutely no sense.
I support common sense solutions using our abundant natural resources like natural gas over imported Iranian oil which will decrease Co2 emissions while at the same time spurring American economic growth.
Rather than waste tax dollars on solar and wind power the answer is natural gas with a transition to solar over the next two decades. This way Americans save billions in tax dollars on the solar subsidies while getting abundant, available natural gas today.
The vast majority of the experts who study this agree on what's going on and there are computer models that forecast disaster within the next 100 years and it's anything but proven? Where are you getting this nonsense about tax and spending? This is a scientific issue, not a political one. And your proposed solution is to ignore it as if it weren't happening but it's all okay because someone will figure it out in the future?
By the way, your common solution is currently spilling 1300 metric tons of methane right outside of los angeles at this very moment. It's also a very finite resource, we probably have less than 100 years of recoverable gas at today's usage levels. That's not to mention the insane amount of dangerous chemicals that fracking leaves in the environment such as benzene, toluene and xylene. How can you be so apathetic about such an important issue?
