"Global warming research"

it costs the US about 2 billion per year (the same amount we give to Israel, but at least they use it to kill palestinians) to do this "research", most of it is politicised leftist guess-work about how humanity is horrible and destructive and how we should spend $100 trillion on Kyoto to lower the global temperature by 0.07C by 2050 (!).

"Your SUV is definitely worth it."

Ahh, the sarcasm.  Environmentalism hurts poor people, a fact many bleeding hearts on the left haven't acquainted themselves with.  It isn't just suburban housewives and soccer moms that will have to stop driving minivans and SUVs.  If we pass big-time environmental legislation and regulation, the higher cost to manufacture products, goods, and services will then be passed on to the middle and lower income classes, and the standard of living of the people will logically and subsequently then go down.  The negative effects to the economy and loss of standard of living and jobs are not worth it.  Environmentalists are not friends of the poor.  I'd put working people before my concerns about global temperature rising a degree or two average anyday, thanks.
