    ultimately, yes, ..because the public elects the legislators, who appoint the policymakers, ..etc.. those are the folks, some of certain ideologies and nefarious intent, ...are trying to foist this whole thing on us all..

    Wait , so I'm kinda lost

    You said that we , the public , are being misled about the science ( or lack thereof ) about climate change , and that we are being led to believe , by " alarmists " that it is worse than it really is , and yet at the same time you think that this same group of easily misled people to be the judge of the same science , only this time come to an opposite conclusion ?

    That sounds more like whoever has the best lobbyists wins rather than anything to do with proving or disproving the problem .

    Fox news is NOT news. It's propaganda! I don't trust ANYTHING I hear on that channel. Hannity is a hack and Bill O. is corrupt. Controversy sells. Conspiracy theorist's unite!

    what i'm trying to say, ..in a round-about way, ... is that we ultimately shape what happens in terms of policy, ..we elect the people who are in the positions to make regulations based on this stuff, ... either we elect people who resist the fraud, or we elect people who perpetuate it and curry favor to the fraudsters at the top..

    i guess you could think of the global warming/cooling/climatechange folks as a big lobby, ..yes that's pretty much it - they want gov'ts around the developed world to exact economy-crushing regulations/laws that restrict individuals and consumer choice, and abridge national sovereignty, ..so that the fraudsters at the top of the pyramid can "trade" the air w/ exhale - ...thus we are slaves, and they make money... there is nothing more absurd than concocting a scheme to make money off of the "air" around us, ..but it's what these folks are all about..

    Big lobby applies to the oil industry as well.

    is there an oil/petroleum lobby?... sure... if you think about it, there is a "lobby" for damn near everthing.... it's a double edged sword, ..lobbies can be helpful because they are subject matter experts, wheras legislators cannot be on every industry/issue.. but, they there is also a widespread perception that lobbies are embroiled in corruption - i.e. manipulating legislators in a way that gives them a market advantage...

    ..i think both sides of the sword are probably true...

    You missed my point .

    I meant you are new here and may not know that political posts / threads aren't allowed .

    I'm not taking it personally , maybe you should read the site COC

    no .. meaning anyone spouting political views can get the thread banned. Politics are not allowed for obvious reasons, I am guessing. Nothing against you or anyone else.

    i see your point!! but civil political opinion and comments aren't bad in any way....as long as it stays CIVIL, if someone starts being rude and offensive then i'm all for locking threads.....but let's be realistic, if people want to change things in this world, CIVIL discussions have to be made to create awareness and solutions...it's the base of everything.

    so if someone wanna lock this thread because of a civil comment, then let be it...

    this thread is a highly detailed , fact backed, scientific think tank. Not a political statement. Nothing but world recognized scientist's discussing varying data supporting alternating points of view.
