How is this thread different from any you would find on a politics board? Everything seems so familiar.

To make this thread work, I probably would've just titled it something like "Ideas to Improve the Environment" and made no mention of global warming at all, with a warning that any reference to global warming would receive an infraction. Which is probably too restrictive for some to enjoy/participate. Which brings us back to how DBR doesn't see a need for political threads, and there are plenty of forums elsewhere to discuss this...
Should any mentions of vaccines or the Moon landings on DBR also receive an infraction? We really need to move away from the false idea that the established science of climate change should be considered a PPB issue that is open for political debate.

Now, discussing things like a carbon tax, cap-and-trade, how to conduct diplomacy with heavy oil producing countries, etc. is a PPB issue and is a different story.
