Frankly - part of me thinks issues like this - become the focus of politics to help divide the votes - for instance - you may be a republican at heart - but if you beleive the world is comming to an end from GW - then you *may* vote democrat... ???
I know we are lied to by SOME ONE - but who??? - I can think of motives on either side. - Maybe thats the point - confuse people into inaction again..??
I mean - do rich oil nations have the $$$ to afford 17,000+ credible scientists to report what they want - or silence them when their reports were edited by the 'employer'..??? Sure I suppose its possible.... I suppose it IS possible we are causing GW - too.
If there are masses of cunfusion - I can certainly see why.
In the 80's - consider this scenario.
A politician is campaigning for office - much of that time is asking for money.
So - here comes someone who has a patent for converting HCFC's & CO into CO2 & O2. aka a cat. converter. Something that a 'freezing world' would need.
But - previously there was scientific chatter about warming - hmmm - adding CO2 will cause more green house effect.
So - someone finds a way to present legit data in a way that shows a threat of 'global cooling' - so that ultimately - (after the politicians take office) cat converters become required by law. Soley for the $billions to be made from those converters.
I could see that happening as well too ... bottom line - I dunno what to believe - the 'evidence' is compelling on both sides of the issue. Which to me is a red flag for 'manipulation'. Someone with influence is lying, both sides can't be correct - can they?
I still want to stop using fossil fuels tho. Logic dictates that 'you dont get something for nothing' - and if nothing else - diesel trucks I can smell sitting in traffic - I KNOW is not good for me to breath - common sense.
