Save the polar bears and support climate change. Carbon tax is needed to slow down the big polluters and save the planet from extinction. Think about the future and go Green. Save energy, recycle and invest in renewable energy sources: solar, hydro-electric, geothermal and wind. Nuclear no way- toxic nuclear waste is catastrophic and can only be dumped in land fill or in the ocean/seas.

No guarantee that the alternative tech will magically show up and be viable in time. Beyond this, is that, what I do know is, since the end of the Cold War, there has been a void for something people to live in terror of. We used to have nasty Commies who wanted to enslave you, and the risk of nuclear winter. It took less than a decade for the terror to shift to a fear of militant extremists Muslims (one dirty bomb on main street means ALL OVER FOR AMERICA), and then global warming/climate change/American lifestyle is eeeevvvvvvillllll!
This last paragraph summary shows a state of fear that came out after the cold war by those on the left. Why should someone support climate change? Isn't it evil? Also, if energy is that much of a problem, you consider nuclear and figure out how to make the waste not a problem. Nuclear waste is NOT catstrophic for crying out loud. It is a problem you deal with.
Bigger problems faced is dealing with China and India that are heading for middle class lifestyles. HUGE demands, and if you don't get them to contain their carbon dumping, it doesn't matter what is done in Europe or North America. China and India are over 2 billion people. You need to meet their energy needs, and yes, we try to get it done green.
By the way, I almost never watch Fox News. I think it is a waste of time, and I think they have an agenda. But, if you can tell by my post, I think the climate change scare is blown WAY out of proportion, and doesn't lend to come up with a reasonable solution that is doable.
