The left, however, goes far beyond reality in their version of environmentalism. The Left does not stop at reasonable conservation measures, or reasonable regulations on pollution. Instead they would have the United States, one of the environmentally clean nations, submit to the Kyoto Protocol, which would do serious damage to our economy. The reason they would have us wreck the greatest economy in the world? Well to stop global warming of course! This despite the reality that this theory has never been proven to be true. | Completely factually wrong. I can't believe how irresponsible this post was. Global warming is proven scientific fact, and there is an overall scientific consensus that human activity is causing its rapid excelleration. The Kyoto Protocol would help in that regard, to reducing emissions which are killing our planet and future generations. Not to mention there is a lot of money to be made in the market of alternative clean fuels and energy.
This entire article was written by an obviously conservative individual who claims to know everything about liberalism. Its only intent was to bash liberalism in a collection of hasty generalizations and factually incorrect plebeian verbiage. I fail to see how that article in any way is productive to the attempts at a political and intelligent discourse.
