It's not just the increased spending that should worry us. The greenies want to impose massive new restrictions on what people are allowed to do, build, sell, buy, or use. They want to deny, limit, regulate, and/or tax anything that isn't perfectly pure and green and low in resource consumption. It's a power grab, plain and simple, and it should scare the bejeezus out of anyone who cares about property rights and individual liberty.
I've researched the arguments put forth by just about every skeptic out there. Just about every single one of them is intentionally misleading, lying, or screwing up basic highschool math. One very easy to understand example is Pat Michaels editing graphs and lying or at least being "confused" under oath and 'accidentally' editing out the important parts of climate models:

The science behind global warming is quickly becoming a "no brainer" (not my words, the president of the AAAS's). If the firearm community wants to be taken seriously they should make sure the majority of their members/spokesmen can understand highschool level science, math, and physics. Currently this is not the case.
That being said the left does twist climate change. In my opinion (and Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley's) the key to the future is not changing peoples behaviors but investing in new technology. Please review this list:
http://www.logicalscience.com/technology/In all honesty if we all stop driving and turn out the lights we will still emit more CO2 than our planet can handle. So these greenies and hippies are not only masochistic but they are delusional. They just happen to be correct on the fact that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with.
Even chevron (an oil company) says that conservation is a hopeless cause. But their argument is based off of supply/demand and not climate change.
