And the argument about "saving the polar bears" is just nonsense. Again, species of Polar Bears is not worth strict regulations are higher taxes. And precisely for that reason there will never be a "solution" for this "Global Warming". The consequences of not doing anything are not worth avoiding. We'll adapt.
At the same time, there are more important and urgent problems such as pollutions in rivers. Now that directly effects the population living in poor countries. People die TODAY because of that and that is something to be concerned about.
And secondly if the emissions are affecting the air quality, then that is a concern.
But Global Warming? Who cares?

Bleeding heart liberals with a Messiah complex who want to save the world by placing sacrifices and burden of cost on others. Costs will be huge and net effect negligible? Who cares, the warm and fuzzy feeling is well worth it (while driving in AC-ed SUV to work nonetheless)!
