Well, here's a fun guy. 
Not going to give much attention to that whole spiel, but this here is just plain wrong:
If governments around the world really somehow loved global warming the way you suppose, it should be noticeable in any relevant way. But even when I look at localcrazy socialist fascist European politics, one thing that politicians in power try to care as little about as possible is CO2 emissions. For example, the German government (which is somehow known internationally to be the vanguard of environmentalism) is trying semi-secretly all the time, together with auto corporations, to disregard any environmental considerations and allow producers to build the highest possible amount of cars (and the biggest possible ones at that) they can.
In reality, governments have to be pressured from all sides (academics, elections, the public, even facts!) all the time to do even the bare minimal actions regarding the scientific fact of global warming.

Ok, now that I got that out, I can now say how little I personally care about global warming. Why? Mostly because blind energy and resource consumption is so detrimental in and of itself. A Watt of energy wasted is a wasted Watt of energy, period, and one Watt less for later use. Don't believe in global warming all you want, but resources are finite, and we get almost all energy from mining and pumping finite resources. The fact of scarcity should be something even right "libertarians" should be able to get behind.
And now some über-scientific American right "libertarian" can go ahead and tell me how oil resources are unlimited, please
