The United Nations Climate Change Conference process is
COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE and DANGEROUS to the TRUE GOALS.

Reducing CO2 emissions cuts growth capacity of plants
necessary for SURVIVAL.

Signing a BINDING AGREEMENT under United Nations takes away FREEDOM.
Promising poor nations money to sign a binding agreement is bribery
to take their authority to govern their resources leading to conflicts and wars.
CAP and TRADE is a loophole for rich nations to.... More

I am someone who studies a subject of importance to climate change. Global warming is an effect of climate change. Oceanic PH lowering is an effect of climate change. Change in species latitude and altitude in response to higher average temperature is an effect of climate change. The destabilization of methane stores, and increased biologic output of methane is an effect of climate change. In fact, there is a whole slew of ecological observations attendant to climate change. "Greening" is an.... More

Ooooh, now I get it!

As a party, elected Republicans aren't known for being proactive in protecting the environment -- industrial and business concerns too often trump green concerns.  Slightly more than one out of 10 Republicans in Congress believe global warming is happening and is a man-made problem. Far less than that are willing to stick their necks out with a green vote.
 
But there are a handful of Republicans who seem to understand that global warming is a real problem that deserves at least some attention. Or at the very least, Republicans who are willing to lean green to suit their political ambitions. Either way, we'll take their vote. Here are seven Republicans who seem to really get climate change. (Text: Shea Gunther)
