Using the power of the badge and the gun to be "generous" with other peoples money is not my idea of a free society.
If it was just, "hey, we all need to pollute less", then I would be all about it. I'm very active in local clean up groups, and I try to do my part. I just don't like all of the massive power grabs being done in the name of "climate change", that's all.

this kind of thing will always exist in government to some degree. if it wasn't climate change it would be something else. i am not suggesting to just put up with it but without necessity, there is little innovation. if there is no incentive to work towards cleaner forms of energy, it won't happen. we have made our world so sick but still people want to repeal environmental regulation in the name of profit. that sucks. you can't eat any fish without mercury. that's fucked up. there is a sea of plastic in the ocean, that's fucked up. we all share some of the blame but if we do our part at our level while industry continues their polluting ways, it makes what we do seem pointless.
