Liberal talking points
- Because of over a century of adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, the average temperature across the Earth is increasing.
- This has foreseeable negative impacts.
- The scariest impacts are from subtle effects that we can't even predict.
- Models say we are approaching a tipping point where the changes become self-sustaining and self-feeding.
- We can slow or stop this, but we're running out of time, and must act now.
- Global warming is not happening. It's a liberal myth.
- It's a normal cycle, not caused by man.
- It's pointless for us to try to slow global warming because India and China are putting much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than the United States is, and they won't stop.
- What's the big deal? It's only a few degrees change, and will make life better on Earth. Don't you like nicer weather?
- It's too late to stop the major effects of global warming. Better for the the government to encourage and subsidize business to adapt to and profit from the major changes that will inevitably occur.
