Which crazed leftist should I belive?
 
Should I believe the crazed leftists who claim oil is going to run out, or should I believe the crazed leftists who claim we're going to kill the world with global warming caused by oil?

Just believe the voices in your head.

The voices in my head tell me we need to cut taxes.

What is contradictory about the two positions?

It's easy to conceive of warming occurring in the course of using up all the oil.

QFT

And neither of the positions has squat to do with being "leftist".

But it's easier to attack the positions if some evil "socialist" is proclaiming it.

Are you guys denying that it's basically 95% socialists who make these claims?

Yes. It's only American Republicans who are denying these issues because they conflict with their own ideologies/sources of campaign funding. In most countries there is no real political debate about whether global warming is real or not, it's accepted as scientific fact by both the 'left' and 'right' alike. This isn't so much 'Socialism vs Conservatism' as 'Science vs Willful Ignorance'.

The only people being fooled are those who think a government that receives millions of dollars per year from the oil industry took its stance on these matters with the interests of the American people at heart.

PS: I think Abe would too 'bummed' by the current state of your country and democracy to worry about us foreigners.
