That's the biggest reason reasonable people dislike global warming advocates. They're often a lot like SebC on a crusade for no suburbs.

And people dislike global warming deniers because of their strawman arguments.
I'm not on a crusade for no suburbs, I'm on a crusade for suburbs that pay for themselves.
(Likewise, if you're going to emit CO2, I have no problems with that if you're paying for the externalities. It should be a level playing field though, i.e. if you make CO2 pay for its externalities, but don't do the same for alternative energy sources, you actually end up with a sub-optimal level of fossil fuel use.)
There's also a fair bit of hypocrisy in calling Tinordi's argument a hyperbole, then using one yourself in your description of my arguments.
