I disagree strongly with you on this, but nonetheless I think you've proven the point that the original comment was making i.e. that what constitutes a "good" or a "bad" government is subject to people's views.

In my view, a government that does nothing to tackle global warming is "bad". In your view, a government that spends resources on something you think is a fraud, is also "bad". We can't both be right.

We can both be right - when man-made global warming isn't actually a thing.

I agree that

> a government that does nothing to tackle global warming is "bad"

and I think you would likely also agree that

> a government that spends resources on something you think is a fraud, is also "bad"

The only difference is that it has managed to convince you that man-made global warming is real, just like it did me for a long time.
