I agree with this statement.
"There is significant evidence that shows that Global Warming is a clear and present danger and if we don't make changes the Earth could be in big trouble"
I agree with this statement.
So....
What would be wrong with an approach that was safe rather than sorry? That is the part that loses me. I am not an environmentalist in any way, shape or form but what do we have to lose as a nation if we tried things more the tree hugger way?
I really have no opinion on this stuff.

We already do lots of stuff the tree hugger way. Compared to life 25 years ago we all act like tree huggers now as compared to then. The United States cant solve the supposed problem by itself and honestly do you really think that our "leadership" on the issue will spur other countries to follow us? Especially when our leadership consists of a Tax and trade bill that does very little for the environment while harming the economy which really doesnt need any more problems. Our other "leadership" avenue is we give hundreds of billions of dollars to other countries to deal with their supposed global warming issues. Mind you that pretty much none of this will ever be enforcable... That volcano that erupted the other day has way more environmental impact than a billion people and last I knew we didn't have control over them though it has been proposed by Pelosi to try to tax them for excessive lava flow. As a matter of fact if a few more volcanos erupt and put all that soot and dust in the atmosphere we will be worrying about global cooling
That should drive the greenies blood pressure up. Prepare for a flood of links..............
