One would think that it would be politicians, those keepers of the public trust, that would be skeptical of something upon which billions (or trillions) of taxpayer dollars might be spent. You’d think they’d be VERY intersted in the possibility that man is not causing the environment to warm (or cool, or whatever it’s supposedly causing this week). Maybe they DON’T have to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to solve a non-existent problem. Maybe those dollars can stay in the pockets of the taxpayers, who can circulate them in the economy, thus strengthening the economy. Heck sakes, if the human burning of fossil fuels is NOT causing global warming (or cooling, or whatever it’s causing this week), perhaps they could even open ANWR and the coasts to drilling, giving the economy a boost on the oil companys’ dime, keeping wealth in the USA, and reducing dependence on foreign sources of energy. (Gas is cheaper right now, but the money’s still going to people who hate us.)

What is it that would cause the politicians to seem to WANT “climate change” to be man’s fault? Could it be that they gain power if they have another reason to control more of our money and our lives? Politicians? Those servants of the people… those protectors of the common weal? Naw. How could I think such a thing?
