Global warming
Global Warming is the gradual increase of the earth's average temperature due to the overuse of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are caused by burning coal, oil, and other substances.
Politician Al Gore calls it a moral issue, while scientist Richard Lindzen says, "It is probably the most immoral thing you could do to restrain energy so that the billions in the earth who don’t have access to electricity won't conveniently get it. The only worse thing would be to continually use energy, which could lead to international flooding and climate change, which could kill and relocate millions and drastically alter our ability to grow plants. Wait, that's what Gore says? Oh (expletive deleted)." [1] However, it is to be noted that many proponents of the theory propose energy conservation only until 'green' energy generation becomes predominant.[Citation Needed]
Conservative Opposition
Conservatives have recently placed global warming as their main enemy in the War on Science. Although people are confused by their refusal to accept science as fact, conservatives seem to dislike the movement because it would decrease world oil use (thus hurting Haliburton, and by extension Dick Cheney. See the article on Dick Cheney or God. On this site they are the same).
