Just to be absolutely clear: Yes, I do believe climate change is occurring...

I find it hard to believe arguments that humans are not impacting the climate, but I also think that the change being caused is *far* less than the "Green-Left" would like us to think. The truth is that real warming has been consistently below that predicted by climate computer models, and many climate scientists accept that there has been no statistically significant warming occurring over the past 18 years. 

Just take a look at this chart using the IPCC's own figures:

But the purpose of this post is to defend the warming that we are all choosing to have. I am at peace with this choice, as my view is that the climate change we are causing is simply worth it - because of the enormous numbers of people that are being given a better life.

Over the past twenty years alone vast numbers of people have moved out of poverty, particularly in China. 

Ironically the left are engaged in an ongoing fear campaign to try to influence voters ... when they so vocally denounce such tactics when used by the right. The left are the real Axis of Evil, and being green is just a sugar-coating so they can try and administer their "Big Government knows best" doctrine. Not on my watch.
