I'm a capitalist and global warming skeptic. It has earned me some harsh words and criticism.
I feel your pain. My entire group of friends are all socialists while I'm a capitalist. They're always ripping on me. I do believe in global warming, though.
It's not so that I don't
believe in global warming, I just think that the actual "threat" part of it is a scam. There are proof of the government lying (Yes, I know I sound like some conspiracy theorist, but I believe what I've seen)
This, coupled withe the fact that if you listen to any of the leaders of the large green movements you will think you are on the set of a movie in which cultists seek to end all life on the planet as we know it. For example look as Pau Ehlerhert(something like that) in the 60's and 70's he predicted that there would be so many people on earth that we would face a severe global famine, I think he called his book "population bomb". Anyways he had a huge following and every decade after that he and his followers would come out and say that the population could not increse any more and that we should take drastic measures like sterilization and "rationing" of how many children a couple should have.
Turns out we have more that enough food production capabilities it is just that distribution is not the greatest...especially with most CFC's being banned....
His ideas largely shaped the green movement today and had a large influence in his time...
For more info on global warming I have the book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming." However, just ignore his ad hominem attacks and comparison of environmentalists to communitst (first chapter), the rest is quite good.
