I find it ridiculous that supposedly smart people are villainizing
CO2 when it is so important to our survival. As long as we maintain
our plant life, it will control the CO2. Perhaps nature is melting
the ice caps to provide additional environment for plants as it did
many times in the past.


They must find a villian in order to justify all their schemes to stop
the global warming or climate change. They must blame CO2 because it
is created by the burning of fosil fuels that they want to bring down
so they can build their own money making industries.

Eric Hoffer discovered several common traits about mass movements. The one
that affirms your observation is this: "A mass movement can exist without a
god, but it will always fail without a devil. A mass movement must have
something to hate."


IT"S ALL ABOUT MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yup most of these scientist are working on grants
we can not expect them, to bite the hand that feed them

Not entirely. Your point is true about the scientists, but not for the
rank-and-file. Again, referring to Hoffer, it's the people. People join mass
movements to give meaning to their otherwise meaningless lives - the goal of
the movement is almost immaterial. People join, THEN adopt the tenets of the
group. Further, membership in mass movements is interchangeable - whether
it's "Burn the bra," "Save the Whales," or "Outlaw Walmart," the SAME people
belong to all three groups. It's the membership itself that's important -
not the goal.

Admittedly, there's sometimes a higher purpose. I, personally, participate
in several movements to pick up women.
