Is that what liberals do? Those silly liberals, they must not be intelligent like conservatives.

Liberals will never accept the futuristic solution to global warming.

If by that you mean geoengineering, it is with good reason. We are already conducting an experiment on the atmosphere with our CO2 emissions. We don't want to start conducting another one, except as an absolute last resort.

Also, American liberals don't really want to do anything about global warming. They just don't deny it outright like conservatives. Canadian Liberals are a bit better, although still not great. It's greens and social democrats/democratic socialists who you'll usually see taking action. (Well, in Europe everyone is more willing to take action against climate change. But greens and the left still tend to be the most zealous).

Perhaps, but approaching the issue with a modicum of skepticism does not necessarily make one a "Conservative" either.

To them peace means a pre-emptive strike. Vengeance begets vengeance though.

Honestly I think we can't truly fix it. We just have to let it repair itself. Not burning so many fossil fuels would help us in two major ways though:

1. We don't have to worry about the supply running out.
2. Solar power works even in blackouts and such, making it an excellent source of back up power.

Which is? Don't be so vague. If you have an answer, give it. If you don't, then why post?
