The anthropogenic global warming theory enjoys broad based political support from [[Liberals]], [[Socialists]], as well as the U.S. [[Democratic Party]]. Supporters of the anthropogenic global warming theory frequently assert the existence of a "[[scientific consensus]],"<ref>see [[Politics of global warming]].</ref> which was revealed by [[ClimateGate]] as favoring their viewpoint while suppressing counter evidence, so that [[Legislator|legislators]] can use this false sense of scientific support to gain more power, enabling them to enact stricter legislation to combat man-made global warming. At the same time, most or all supporters of the anthropogenic global warming theory frequently declare, "the debate is over." The reality is that strict environmental legislation is not necessary, is not beneficial and in fact does more harm than good, and is outside of the [[U.S. Constitution|constitutional]] limits of the [[United States]] government.
