Changes

I'm aware that there's controversy over the causes of global warming on different sides of the political debate.  As I understand it, liberals generally think global warming is either directly caused by, or enhanced by human activity.  And conservatives feel that global warming, if it exists, is probably not caused by human activity.  Is that a fair summation of both sides of the debate as you see it?

Anyway, assuming I'm not incorrectly summarising the positions, I have a few questions.  Do conservatives believe ANY global warming, or global warming ''of any significance'' is happening?  If so, do conservatives believe it would be a good thing to modify our behaviour with regards to doing what we can to 'lighten our load' on the home God gave us?  Do conservatives believe there is any point in recycling, or reducing our use of fossil fuels, or reduce our carbon load on the planet?

It seems to me that even if you don't believe global warming is caused by human activity,that frugal living, parsimony and minimal use of the limited stock of materials God has given us is a good and proper lifestyle.  It is our planet, and God would want us to husband it well.  [[User:CescF|CescF]] 14:36, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
