The climate has been "changing" for eons. Cutting back on one's carbon footprint yadda may make one feel morally superior but the impact will be n/a.
Labeling climate change as a "left wing fad", makes me believe the right wing propoganda machine is working. Does anyone care to review history and understand how badly this country's rivers and lakes were polluted in the the nineteenth and early twentieth century? The industrialists and their political pawns maintained it was no problem and fought against any regulation,which was eventually overcome thankfully, and our waters have largely recovered. The same goes for air pollution, and asbestos and any number of pesky problems that corporations fought because they didn't want to have to spend any money to fix them, despite the human cost. Yes they too were left-wing fads I suppose.
