Still, let’s ignore the giant, glowing 11,000ºF orb in the sky that regularly gurgles plasma and instead focus on how the side effects of man’s great progress of the last 200 years is somehow too much for this 4.54 billion year old rock with a history of climatological fluctuations to handle.
If you want to believe anthropogenic climate change exists - as I once did - then by all means, believe. But (1) do not overstate its negative effects in relation to the good that has been made by virtue of our industrial and technological advancements and (2) do not force your beliefs on me through shrouded Marxist redistributive policies or neo-Malthusian nudges of population control.
Further, if you were serious about conservation, you’d consider the free market alternative. Central planning and interference only lead to wasted resources. As I have previously explained, private property and free exchange best protects all property by setting prices based on supply (scarcity) and demand instead of a central planner’s whim. After all, “[h]ow could people in a planned economy ever conserve if they have no prices to signal when resources are being wasted?”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk3nujVFa81qbwappo1_1280.jpg "I neither tagged any of those posts as “politics” nor promoted them to the explore directory.
