Regardless of the crisis the solution is always the same, more government regulation, more restrictions, more taxation, less freedom, in other words more socialism.
Head over to the library and take out some books about what life was like in the mid to late 1800s in this country. If you don't want taxes or regulations that's what you'll get. I don't think you would want to be living there.

Sure climate changes and there are brief extremes but really it's not so much about accepting the fact that we are creating these changes and believing it or not. You take all the pollutants being produced and ask yourself where are these things going? We know what effect they have in the laboratory. The earth is a closed system and everything just goes into the atmosphere and does what? Logic dictates it has to be having some effect. To deny it is just closing your eyes.

What many people don't know, while they are worrying about greenhouse gasses being produced areas of the world with permafrost have zillions of tons of plant material simply locked away. As the permafrost melts this material will produce huge quantities of methane gas which is far more injurious than Co2. Also as they warm the oceans will release huge amounts of CO2.
