Even if CO2 didn't contribute much to the global climate, I do think that the sources of CO2 and other "greenhouse gasses" can be safely labeled dangerous
After all, it's well established that vehicle exhaust and industrial air pollution
(Chinese coal plants are a stellar example) cause mild to rather serious respiratory damage and most is likely responsible for an unknown variety of assorted disorders to those who have had enormous exposure before birth.
so whether it is heating the world up or not, it's surely going to harm a number people in the near future (over time of course). And trying to get everyone to buy cheap respirators, or simply ignore it and try to slowly change policy and make everybody happy is just an ineffectual, band-aid solution.
As for lib vs. cons I think that it should be regarded in non political (totally non partisan) terms. A con wants things to stay the way they are (in my rather literal definition) and a lib wants less governmental control and whatever they want.
One subject that was touched upon was self professed liberals who are actually conservative. This is a problem because now we have a bunch of
new-age money lovers who pick the "team" they find coolest.
I don't know about you, but even some cons in my area are quite frustrated with overly bureaucratic, fumbling system of management that, like all regions in the world, drives everybody (or maybe some) bankrupt, facing the death penalty in a foreign nation, disgraced, or seriously inconvenienced by all sorts of paperwork gaffes or absurdities.
Except for the birth of the industrial revolution and the leisurely boom of postwar2... what has the modern concept of ECONOMY done for us?
Economy is now a weapon for nations trying to preserve abusive regimes, economy, and a now trivial system of stocks which are decided not by a company's performance, but by it's results compared to a bloody forecast makes you rich one day and penniless the next no matter how many frantic sales you make. I oppose today's notion of economy, and those I define as conservative are the ones who keep faith, and continue to gamble in a fixed game with our money.
also... though it need not come in up to three hundred years (it may come to more easily) some form of libertarian or controlled anarchist state of living should at least be considered the end goal for human civilization, we don't need it NOW, we just want people to realize the obvious... even if it turns out to be a dream, that this is where we, at some point should find ourselves standing (prehaps a worldwide objective would propel people to get things done). ps. NEED health care reform worldwide (maybe not europe) ugently! the more it is delayed, the more painful the transition will be (the US should note, canada is not communist and our system is screwed because of staff shortages, lack of organization, and low funding, all of which a richer, and hopefully more organized nation could fix plus all the canadian doctors went to the US to get paying jobs so the bellyachers should just do their homework)
terribly sorry for the length, I will gladly delete this if you wish ( or your just sick of seeing this message all the time)
