They also get less funding.

Good point!

I find it ironic that so many atheists support the theory of climate change and actually think there is something we could do to prevent it. The idea of beliefs based upon faith comes to mind.

Anthropoligic climate change is a myth, and those who support the silly, misguided, and plutocratic agenda of somehow managing to control the Earth's climate to any significant degree have been fooled by the time-tested practice of witch-doctery. Do you not see how politicians and corporations alike are taking advantage of this belief? Are you so blind as to suppose that their vested interest is due to concern for future generations or the rest of the planet's inhabitants? Can you point to an example of anything, ever, that suggests that the entities in question might act in an altruistic fashion?
Can you imagine the drastic measures it would take to reverse anthropologic climate change if it were real? I hate to break it to you, but the average human exhales 22lbs of carbon dioxide per day, to say nothing else of every other oxygen-breathing lifeform on this planet. That amounts to more CO2 than all machines on the planet can produce.... every day.
The fact of the matter is that there is no realistic solution to global climate change, even if it was caused by humans. What are we going to do? Kill a bunch of people? Reverse or hinder industrial and therefore technological progress by letting the government, of all things, dictate economic policy? I laugh at the thought.

Exactly, that's something that always comes to mind for me; how many GW believers will actually take proactive steps in their own lives to "reduce GH gasses"? Some do, but most just want govts to mandate changes for everyone. I tell ya, if GW is man-made and real (and despite some misguided people who think I am prejudiced and biased, I do not claim it is or is not real), and
if we have to take steps to reverse it, they won't be easy fixes. How many people here are willing to limit themselves to 1 day on the Internet a week to save electricty?
