Okay, look, I'm tired of republicans being all with the attitude that caring about the Earth is somehow "wimpy" or something. Global warming is not a political side issue. It's a religious issue.
1. God called us to be "good stewards" of the Earth, to care for the plants and animals of the Earth.
(To do otherwise is to be a callous bastard, and to be unbiblical)
2. The bible actually tells us the consequence of NOT being good stewards. What is it? Well, to put it bluntly: global warming, toxic air and water, and infertile soil.
What Does the Bible Say About Global Warming?
Dammit, take care of the land! Republicans, democrats, whatever. Stop fighting about it, it's not a pro-con issue, you either take care of it, or you all suffocate/die of cancer/burn to death. We can can have quiet unproductive lives, and that's fine. But let's have quiet unproductive lives where we take care of nature.
