Climate change is a natural occurance. I think the anti capitalist realized they could use it to impose their regulation / taxation / socialism on the capitalist and have been doing so.
Sadly I'm a big fan of clean air. I can see making changes to vehicles, industry and farming to clean the air. Did you know that farming contributes nearly 1/3rd of the air pollutants that are a problem for us all? Industry is about 30% and cars about 37% (those numbes as of 1995 so I don't know how much its changed). Though I believe in clean air I think it needs to be managed smart. For example I had a friend in politics that introduced the "old car" buy back program in CA. They gave $600-$2,000 to people to help them move into modern cars and get their gross polluters off the road. I thought he as a nut. He was a fellow Republican, a conservative, and here he was producing this crap? He showed me the numbers. We spent, as a state, about $175 million buying gross polluters and cleaned the air about 12%. May not sound like a lot but a $120 BILLION high speed rail project won't clean the air 1/10th of 1% so he did pretty good.
