"Those who work to prevent global warming are deeply conservative, insistent that we should leave the world in something like the shape we found it. We want our kids to know the world we knew." -- Bill McKibben

A valuable bite that must be 'conserved.'

Love this bite because I still think of myself as a conservative. I think we should be conserving our resourses, not polluting is a family value, we should live within our means with the resources available to the planet, I hate wasteful government spending on fossil fuel subsidies and large agriculutural industry, it is a sin against God to drive species to extinction and defile creation, investing in renewal energy is the best way right now to create jobs and strengthen America, etc.

I was arguing these items over 20 years ago back in college and I found myself increasingly at odds with other Republican conservatives. After all these years, I still wonder who are the true conservatives.
