But, I am thinking, that’s as far as your “rational” point goes. You mention god. Why mention god, at all?

You can only understand the religion of AGW by comparing it to other religions, not by comparing it to science, that’s why God needs mentioned in any discussion of AGW fraud and the movement based on it. Those who were hiding data, eliminating from publication articles that did not agree with them, and otherwise making sure that only lies were considered were not doing so based primarily on greed. For the most part they were doing so based in their belief that they had the one true way to make the world into a paradise. There’s no way you can call that a scientifically based scam given the fact that the entire thrust of their efforts was to eliminate science from the debate.

AGW and the entire spectrum of associated little frauds constitute nothing short of religion based on saving one’s self by performing “good” works on behalf of Mother Earth. The use of fake science is proof that those behind the AGW scam thought that scientists were the most unassailable and trusted members of society these days. If you’ll recall, Al Gore started off while still VP demanding that Christian churches get behind AGW and make it as important to their faith as Christ himself. When it became obvious that churches weren’t falling in line, Al turned to what he knew was an equally respected (for the most part) and much more easily controlled group, scientists. As history since then shows, it’s far easier to bribe and/or convert scientists than it is to do the same with churches.

have a nice day
