Unfortunately it is being used as an excuse for massive increases in taxes, spending, and regulation, (basically government power), on an national, and international level, as well as moves to try to redistribute wealth, by force, around the planet. 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.

I won't argue that there is some corrupt crap going on in this industry, but if there is going to be clean up efforts and less pollution there needs to be some kind of regulation and there needs to be consequences for not following those regulations. If businesses are left to police themselves they simply won't do it.
That said, there is too much being put into it in the way of power and money grabs. Those who would fashion the laws seem to be doing so in a way that allows them to hand their friends and donors ways to make millions off of this. That needs to change.
