What do we lose from reacting to climate change?

No really? If we had a full in debate about climate change, it would come down to this: [b][i]So if we live economically friendly lives and climate change is real, then we have a better planet. If it's not real, then we have a better planet for nothing. [/i][/b] Even if climate change isn't real, pollution is. We can see it in multiple countries and cities around the world. Those in north and South Korea have to wear masks because the pollution in the air is dangerous. Even in LA or New York, the cloud of pollution looming above the city is frightening. So this brings me to wonder why conservatives fight off economically friendly lifestyles being imposed on it's citizens. It could be because it may be a less comfortable or convenient lifestyle. But that's just being lazy, a tag placed on liberals by conservatives. The one that makes sense to me is that businesses will fail, especially the oil industry. This is what raises the most red flags to me. It may be a blatant statement, but everything points to the conservatives being payed off by these endangered industries so that their business doesn't fail. That's why oil companies buy out designs for fuel efficient cars. If we utilized technology to it's fullest extent, we could have cars that get 300+ miles to the gallon. But the oil industry doesn't allow it. Why would they allow a political decision to hinder their business as well? So this brings me back, [b][i]if global warming isn't real, then we'll be making a better planet for nothing?[/i][/b] that doesn't sound so bad to me. How about you?
