ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Afraid of science, or afraid that the position will push political goals, rather than science? The article even mentions it. Oh yes...afraid of promoting the controlling of greenhouse gasses, so mankind might actually be alive in another hundred years. Or afraid of education on global warming, so we don't stick our heads in the sand and say "It's not manmade" when clearly it is. Since the year 1750, when the industrial revolution began and humans started polluting the air, poisonous gasses have also increased in our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is up over 40%. Methane is up over 150%. And nitrous oxide is up approximately 20%. It doesn't take a scientist to realize that's leaving less and less room for that OXYGEN stuff we need to breathe in order to stay alive. Neocons are in the pockets of corporations such as "big oil," so will always oppose any legislation to help the environment. The only problem with this is that we NEED the environment. We need clean air to breathe and water to drink, and we need a habitable planet on which to grow crops so we have food. Once we pass the tipping point where our environment is permanently ruined, we will suffer a slow and painful death as a species. Remember you proudly support the conservatives when the economy collapses and we can't afford food, we have no air to breathe or water to drink, our children are illiterate, and everything else happens when there are no regulations in place to protect us.
