“Assuming your hypothesis that large money interests form around the theory being true, why have 182 countries (some very poor) ratified the Kyoto Protocol, but not the United States, which rejected it in the Senate 95-0. ”

Actually a lot of Kyoto provisions don’t apply to poor or developing countries, like China and India. For that matter, a lot of developed countries that ratified Kyoto have missed their emissions targets. The question should be, if global warming will be so catastrophic, why don’t these countries want to reduce their carbon emissions?
