Global warming is the greatest farce in the news today. If it's hot out, people cry global warming, but if it's cold, they find a way to tie it to global warming... like "well global warming is actually moving the gulf stream south, so global warming is actually making it colder."
There are three main drivers of global warming.
1. The climate scientists. After decades of being in a unfufilling industry, they now have news media constantly throwing attention upon them and organizations offering grant money for studies. No global warming, no grant money. Follow the money trail and it tells a story. It's like a doctor who doesn't want to cure his patient because his income stream will dry up.
2. The media: "Everything is Okay" is not a headline that sells newspapers. While many accuse the pharmaceutical industry of making up diseases to sell drugs, few fault the media. In the 1970s the media warned of global cooling.
3. There are people who hate that the US is the lone superpower in the world. American industry has spent billions of dollars reducing levels of real pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide CO, Nitrigen Oxides NOx, Sulfur Dioxide SO2. However, CO2 is the byproduct of complete combustion. The only way to reduce CO2 is to reduce combustion. If the US doesn't want to shut down its industry, make them buy "carbon credits" from the Congo or some other third world country. Essentially it's an international tax against the U.S. for its economic success. While I'm not prone to conspiracy theories, I haven't found an explaination as to why China was exempted from the rules of the Kyoto treaty. If global warming was a real global problem, why should any country be exempted? If it was a real problem, the only solution would involve every country trying to solve it.
Then there are all the naive followers who think they are helping the world, but just unwitting lackies of one of the two above groups.
