I love the idea of 'oooh spooky conspiracy'. I guess if you have cognitive issues that prevent from you agreeing with science, that has to be your only out?

If one is to question this premise that it is a paid off conspiracy, you might start with.... Where do they get their funding? Is it all that money being provided so that those profitable solar companies can do better? Oh, the whole world is up in arms because a few guys with phds need a job? It is just nonsensical.

This world is run by oil money. If there is money being put into anything, it is into the skeptic side. Global warming does not agree with oil company profits.

You guys are so ass-backwards.

The whole climate change scam and the reasons behind it are pretty much completely out in the open. See my last post.

Most of the people calling this spade a spade within the scientific community and without are, like me, pretty much classical liberals. So it seems in my research at least.

In researching this topic it was striking how, up to about 10 years ago, the global warming scammers made no secret of their view and promise that the 'green revolution' was going to be a fantastic way to make big money in a variety of ways. And they have. Mostly off the backs of the vanishing middle class and the poor, and leveraging the muscle of central government. This 'make big bucks now' sales pitch was a little bit to much like a flashing neon 'scam alert' sign which didn't align with the 'save the earth' rhetoric so the marketing has shifted recently...but the money inflows from the scam has not.

To test your capacity for logical analysis a bit, try this: You have an oil company and a lot of known reserves (and most of the govt) under your control which locks out competition. You would like:

1) higher product prices
2) lower product prices

The obvious answer is #1. 'Austerity' no matter how it is achieved has a positive effect on the price point of the supply/demand curve. This explains why, try as they might, attempts to tie the 'skeptics', 'deniers', 'climate heretics' (pick your favorite term) to 'big oil' fall pretty flat. Various energy companies seem to fund various 'environments' groups mostly as a way to curry favor for their own unique segment (gas, oil, coal, etc) at the expense of others in their general energy space and there isn't much left over for those who care calling out out the CO2 scam generally.

Any competent engineer is going to know that actually deprecating hydro-carbon fuel use in the near to mid (if not long term) future is a non-threat. Windmills and solar farms or so expensive and inconvenient that pricing their reserves against a market driven by these technologies is a dream come true and promises riches beyond imagination.
