some folks don't know or want to remember what our country use to look and smell like.I'm no tree hugger,but I want a clean world for my grandchildren.

Where do you live?? The air and water are cleaner now than they were 100 years ago.

1) Do you feel that environmental safety/Climate control is a lesser issue? If so why?

---

No, environmental safety isn't a "lesser" issue. I enjoy clean water and air. Now climate control? Lulz. I do not deny the climate is changing, it always has, always will. But at this point, there is no consensus on how much the effects of man are on climate, if removing carbon footprint will lower temperatures, and if so how much. Until there is any understanding of x tons of carbon = y degree temperature increase, I will not get on board with drastically increasing regulatory requirements.

2) Do you think there is too much greed with this problem? How is this greed worse than other government endeavors (military, etc.)

---

Of course. Hence why Al Gore flies around on a private jet, drives large SUVs, and lives in a mansion. The dolt doesn't believe much of what he says, if any. It was a convenient way to expand governmental control, and a select few get extremely wealthy. Any "crisis" fronted by politicians is almost always derived from special interests and donors.

3) What is the real political endgame the GOP are to reach? Is it to secure money for more pet projects?

---

No idea, I detest most of the GOP and almost all Democrats. They're almost all self-serving, unprincipled whores of the global wealthy elite. The Clintons are probably the best example ever presented to the American people.

I don't want to pay to fix it.

First, the reason the liberals changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change" is because their effort was proven false by actual slow or decline of the warming.

Second, Contrary to media and DNC talking points the science is not proven or undisputed. Actually, the only agreed upon is the weather and events like storms, tornadoes, even the wildfires are driven by changes or patterns of the global water surface temperatures and the prevailing pressures that result. That is why the experts can predict where and when the hurricanes each season will be most plentiful.

Third, what role does the Federal Government have at all in dealing with the "Climate"? That should be left to the people and the corporations to deal with just like they have based on false propaganda the last decade. But if the end result is a social pressure on companies to behave in a manner that is environmentally safe the all the better and the conservative position has been proven without a single dime given to foreign government via PARIS or any other treaty.

Implement new recycling systems nationwide along with better filtering technologies is the better answer.

"Answer" to what exactly??

So in general, I'm a guy that can be convinced to get on board with the right solution,

Solution? What's the problem??

One word: freedom.

Regulating CO2 is about regulating people, not climate. Did you breathe today? Then you created CO2.

Did you drink a Coke? You just released CO2.

Did you drive, eat meat or dairy, use electricity, or use paper, plastic or metal?

The AGW crowd can trace everything you do back to CO2. By controlling CO2, they control you. frick them

I might give half a shite if EVERY single solution wasn't somehow tied to ceding more power to government or telling me how to live my life.

frick them.

This question is made with the assumption that manmade climate change is a fact and that the USA and a few other white countries can actually prevent this change.

I say this assertion is false

You sir, make a valid point.

It's a Chinese hoax.
