I think that was the honorable goal at first, but it didn't change public opinion fast enough so instead they hitched on to junk science/ hysteria/fear mongering and it has been bitting them in the ass for the past forty years.
Well, if they mean to Save the Earth, they are wasting a lot of time focusing on the wrong problem. I've thought a lot about this weird "global warming" thing, and I am satisfied I understand what is going on. The leftists simply cannot blame the actual blameables: the Chinese and Indonesians for their incredible smog. The huge floating plastic island growing bigger every day. The gross over-population in the whole continent of Africa so that they eat all the wild animals and flood into Europe and depend on grain supplies from abroad with deficit spending, which could stop at any time.
It does rich whites in America and Europe no good to blame those to blame for over-populating: they wouldn't notice anyway, or care if they did. So they blame George Bush (this whole thing started during George Bush's administration: it was Al Gore's revenge, for one thing). And now all Republicans. This makes no sense at all, but at least they get an audience: people take opinions on it and participate in threads like this, rather than blow it off and kill another okapi as no doubt they would do in poorer countries.
I really wish leftists WOULD promote population control. After all, that would fix their "problem," non-existent though it is --- fewer people, less CO2 and less carbon-burning and so on. Also it would help prevent all the Malthusian problems coming up because of gross over-population, the extinctions, the famines, the out-of-control migrations, the diseases, etc.
