You can't cruise the sites that discuss global warming for too long without running into a shitstorm between those who believe in the dangers of climate change — and that humankind is causing it — and those who don't. As anyone knows, these fights are always drawn along liberal-conservative lines. But why? Is it belief in the rectitude of corporations, that if a company wants something, it must be good? But then why wouldn't the people who support subsidies for Big Oil not also support them for Little Solar, or whatever? Is it belief that the old ways are better, no matter what? If we are in danger, wouldn't everyone want to face that danger, to ward it off? If there were a reasonable doubt that we faced a danger, wouldn't everyone want to check it out, and to give the danger the benefit of the doubt, just in case it might actually be real? Why would anyone insist there is no danger, just for political purposes? Seriously, why? If you've got answers, leave 'em in comments, please. No, really, I just don't get it, and am eager to be enlightened.
