The climate is warming. This is indisputable fact.
The East Coast of the United States has already seen sea level rises, and it will suffer the most as time passes. Sea level does not rise evenly across the globe. Some places experience more dramatic rises than others, and the US East Coast is one such place.
Will the use of fluorescent light bulbs slow the rising of the ocean or climate change? No. So mandating the use of fluorescent bulbs is stupid.
Will mandating the elimination of plastic grocery bags contribute to saving the planet? Hell no. The plastic grocery bag debate is humanity's low point. It just does not get any dumber than this. Those reusable grocery bags have about 185 times the environmental impact of one plastic bag.
There are people out there who flat out hate corporations. The AGW debate provides excellent cover for such people to get anti-corporate legislation into place that will do nothing to save the planet but will be very effective at damaging our economy.
The proper response to these tactics is not to deny climate change is happening. Then you just write yourself out of the conversation. You will look like an idiot, because you are an idiot if you deny climate change is happening.
