These zealots would have us cripple our own industries through regulation, sell carbon credits like snake oil, plant trees in the forest, use toxic light bulbs, mandate ethanol use (whose production generates more pollution than the original gasoline), brainwash our children through public mis-education, and more. They would squander untold trillions on an unseen boogeyman they cannot prove exists; while offering no guarantee of measurable results.
Suspiciously, they ignore all scientific evidence that disproves man's role in global warming, but rather seek only those data that corroborate their fears. In their alarmist, claustrophobic world they believe they are saving the earth; but don't realize they are simply regarded as negative "glass half-empty" personality types.
Unfortunately, too many political decisions are influenced from their sense of impending doom and fear. Whether this attitude of misery springs from a haunting sense of their own mortality or simply the lack of presence of a higher power in modern life, it nonetheless corrodes everything it touches.
It's time these nanny state liberals pay less attention to restricting everyone else's fast food, caffeinated soft drinks and carbon footprints.
And it's way past time the rest of us pay more attention to those with personal psychological defects who are intent on leading us into a national suicide.
