If there is global warming (and not just local warming), then it is not
a left-right issue, it is a human race issue. The problem I, and others,
have with the current debate is that the solutions being proposed in the
media, the UN, etc are all heavily weighted toward expanding socialism
and statism, while solutions proposed by myself and many others which
focus on free market solutions are dismissed, laughed at, and ignored by
those in on the state power game. Thus, the solutions side is being made
into a left-right issue.
