Since it is somehow fair game to compare holocaust deniers to climate change skeptics.....then it must be said that climate change proponents are only pushing their beliefs to kill poor people in poor countries!
What a stinking load of absolute codswallop. Considering that the first and hardest-hit victims of climate change are going to be the poor people in places like Bangladesh and the Pacific Islands who will see their living space literally washed out to sea... I think it's fair to say that the exact opposite is true.
And, in any case, virtually every policy I've seen to fight climate change (save, perhaps, some of the more extreme geoengineering proposals) would be a good idea for the future of humanity
anyway. For example, even
if CO2 wasn't an issue, we'd need to make a concerted effort to build an economy and infrastructure not dependent on oil and other fossil fuels, because oil is a limited resource (and things like burning coal cause immense health problems, besides). We'd need to aggressively promote birth control because available arable land is shrinking rapidly and overfarming is leading to desertification in places. Etc. etc. etc. 95 percent of the time, trying to forestall the consequences of global warming merely heightens the urgency of what we need to be doing
anyway.
