How's this political? You see, much of the climate change panic demands we must do something now, we can't possibly stop climate change unless we give the green fools complete control of , well everything.
Essentially, the green argument is based on mankind causing the problem, yet not being smart enough to ever invent anything to help fix it, only doubling , tripling energy costs, massive carbon taxes can.
They would rather kill thousands upon thousands of elderly poor, thru higher energy prices, than rely on mans ingenuity.
all while demanding that we bow before their "superior knowledge of science".
Nope.
