Dear All,
As you know global warming is endangering the future of life on the
planet. It will also affect us;
rising sea levels, dwindling water supplies, mass deaths due to heat
waves, stoppage of the gulfstream, which
brings milder climate to north of Europe, super hurricanes, less food
due to droughts are some of the effects.
As you also know global warming is produced due to CO2 emissions
coming from burning of fossil fuels.

Do liberals really think that saying something over and over will
somehow make it become true?

Imbeciles do. I don't think any political inclination manages to
exclude imbeciles very successfully. I consider myself pretty liberal.

Reducing one's energy costs (including the cost of managing one's energy
use) is only sensible. Accounting for the energy cost of the whole
life-cycle of any "energy saving" measures is also sensible. The latter
is almost always neglected, especially in pursuit of CO2 reduction.

Of course it is, but the argument that by doing so we're going to save
the planet is specious.
