I remember the gas shortages of the 1970's. At that time the Leftist screed (again crying that the sky was falling) was that we would run out of oil in a matter of several decades. Obviously that was another nonsensical hoax, endorsed by certain scientists to make the nonsense sound like irrefutable "science". Today some in the younger generation might not be aware of it and the Left doesn't want it brought up. They don't want us to remember past hoaxes because they might lead us to question or ridicule the latest reincarnation of them.

So, we need to do the conservative thing and err on the side of caution -- and that will accomplish both necessary goals of saving important resources, and reduce our output of greenhouse gasses at the same time.
Neil, who are you kidding? There is absolutely nothing remotely "conservative" about your activist ideology or your politics. Another attempt at Orwellian 'newspeak'? Funny how these scare theories are always endorsed and promoted by the Democrat-Liberal-Socialist spectrum. Just as the Left is hell bent on redistribution of wealth, so it is also obsessed with reallocation of natural resources. We will be forced to adhere to a starvation diet in our energy needs, while the third world will be exempted from similar draconian austerity. That is the hidden agenda, and it is politically motivated.

Touting fear mongering books like AlGore's, and now similarly "Eaarth" are the Left's way of getting extra bucks from gullible people who would not be as strongly inclined to simply write a check made out to the Democratic Party. If you want to be a Liberal or a Socialist, fine. But pretending you are a conservative or are only concerned with "saaving the plaanet" is as disingenuous as it is absurd.
