What rate of change are you talking about? Most data I have seen shows no change or a slight cooling in the upper atmosphere temperatures since 1998. The Antarctic Ice Shelf is building since 2000.
Where are you least likely to profit by polluting a stream Mississippi, China, Vietnam or Venezuela? Ownership of private property places an incentive to keep your property value up.
Can't help the morons in florida, who is going to do a better job of cleaning up a spill; Exon or Fidel? Which wells will be more environmentally sound China Oil or BP? Who stops us from drilling in ANWAR? The property owners closest are all for it.
I agree we need a national energy policy, but that includes using more of our own energy resources.
