Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
You write that rant yet ignore how much is spent on the military, the bank bailout/subsidies, and oil subsidies.
Typical of your posts, just cherry-pick a few things that you can knock down with faulty reasoning while completely ignoring the bigger picture.
the responsible thing is to make the world a better place.

So ?
More is spent on social engineering programs.
But guess what ?
The technology they use to that climate change BS came from DOD spending.
Really ?
The bigger picture we already have the EPA, the clean air act, and thousands of regulations. That all are suppose to 'protect' the environment.
What the proponents of 'climate change' and 'global warming' crowd are doing is creating a totalitarian state the like the world has never seen.
What the proponents of climate change are doing is saying the EPA, and all that legislation has been a waste.
Then stop supporting politicians, and their endless idiocy.
Climate change is mainstream political hackery. It ain't got nothing to do with science or making the world a better place.
Trillions of debt, WARS, and everything else they have done we ALL know, and yet not surprisingly the mob 'trusts' them with the fate of the planet!
The planet will be here long after us.
Surviving supervolcanoes,asteroids,meteors, and everything else.

They just voted to turn off the measuring equipment from space that monitors temperature. That this would be something the people against the cover-up would do is crazy.
I don't even think I care that much about AGW. Its something we would be concerned about in a less evil world, and there is still no really effective means for fighting it I can see. But I can't understand the people who just refuse to accept that it could be happening at all. We release a gas from our cars. It traps sunlight. Over centuries of releasing this gas, things are heating up.
Irrelevant. As long as money is being spent on environment destroying processes the environment isn't being saved.
OR they aren't doing enough to help things. But that isn't surprising since literally everything you just listed is a stop gap measure and not a solution. Currently there are zero attempts to reverse man made climate change in the works, just slow it down.
Climate change wasn't some scheme thought up by a bunch of corrupt politicians.
I think it is very telling when a CC denier debates politicians' opinions when debating climate change and not the actual science.

What's irrelevant is opinions in this thread. Especially so since the US government doesn't control the entire planet.
How about the US government end illegal immigration,terrorism, them evil corporations, and gun violence, and every other political issue before they tackle 'climate change'.
Oh that's right. They haven't stopped any of those after decades.
Yeah it is.
It would be different if the EPA didn't exist, or the clean air act or the state level legislation.
Or the endless propaganda on the net, and tv channels like the 'green channel' and others.
That was damn right hilarious as there is NO science in politics. As 'climate change' is a political issue.
I Agree some people do not know what they are talking about.
That's those who push push the US government has to save us from the big bad planet.
That's the same government can't has a snip poor track record of stopping anything.
From terrorism. to drugs, to 'gun violence'.
It seems to be doing quite a fine job of holding back climate research since the rest of the world has already moved past this even being a discussion and are debating ways to fix it. Yet here we are still debating on if it is true or not.
No. It isn't. If you think otherwise, then prove it. Show me which politician thought up the idea of man made climate change.
You make the oil companies proud being a useful idiot for them.
Holding back what exactly ?
Scientists have made billions off it.

It is insulting to call science a religion... If you are going to debate the topic then prove it wrong. Calling it a religion is just a science denialism buzzphrase, probably cooked up straight in an Oil company's board room.
Even the oil companies get it right sometimes...

Holy smoly, I think I could finally agree with you on post about this situation. At least some of one. In the fact yes we can change our resources from fossil fuels to renewable resources. And we should. I'm just not jumping onto the band wagon that we need anymore government funding research into what is happening to be paid by the citizens. We need funding to go into the actions to change the pollution. And as for climate change world wide its always a long rollercoaster ride that goes up and down. So let's agree to disagree that it's all man made and we are the cause of everything just cause we are that significant and Mother Earth is so fragile.

Useful idiots eh?
That's what I think of those who tow the climate change line.

Scientists have not made billions off Climate change, neither have politicians. Some politicians have made millions off of denying climate science though.
Also Archie Bunker was a caricature of Conservatives.

He is neither politician not scientist, nor did he make billions.
Million and billion are different.
How about all the money that goes to subsidize the burning of fossil fuels.
Can we talk about how they would have a vested interested in keeping things the same to rack in the billions?
