You're right about that. Global Warming is the perfect excuse to oppose the Western model of economic development, since it is directly tied to energy consumption.

The dead givaway to this is the fact that everything the Liberal/Marxist deplores just happens to be bad for the environment, like conspicuous consumption (excess solid waste), gasoline (eeeevil SUVs), meat consumption (farting cows), fastidious personal hygiene (hair sprays) and minimizing bodily odors (anti-perspirants and air conditioning)... OK, I made that last one up...

But everything that the Liberal/Marxist enjoys is either excused or ignored, like jetting about the World (often on private jets), hybrid vehicle battery disposal, inefficient "organic" agriculture, and the manifold environmental disasters in China and the former Soviet Union.

For instance, when was the last time you read in the Mainstream Media that uncontrolled coal mine fires in China emit more CO2 than every US vehicle East of the Mississippi River? Since the Chinese are favored by the Liberal/Marxist, they are permitted to pollute the World because they are too lazy to put out a few fires, but since you are an eeeevil capitalist, you are going to destroy the planet if you don't downsize from your Chevy Malibu to a Toyota Prius.

You missed a the biggest one--flush toilets. I'm not making that up. Just read Ann Coulter's magnificent book, Godless

Virtually every liberal I know consumes far more energy than I do.
