Michael,

I happen to know a little bit about 'global warming' and agree the concept is about something else, energy distribution, or more starkly wealth distribution. The 'global warming' label does have some benefit in the balance of wealth (first world) and people (third world) in that there is scientific theory to back the concept that we are pumping C02 into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels and industrial activity. No one has any real idea of the risk!? Most likely the atmosphere will be more fickle with higher concentrations of CO2, which means weather. Since large populations in the globe depend on continuing weather patterns to survive we could have some serious problems. It is not impossible that at some level of CO2 concentration there will be significant weather pattern shifts (see books on chaos theory) that have little to do with 'warming' from a statistical sense, so the scientists are correct as you state. CO2 is harmless to humans and good for plants and the weather pattern changes could be for the better looking forward several hundred years. In the meantime the world governments need to prepare irrespective of this topic to distribute wealth and infrastructure to bring marginal economic groups into the mainstream. This seems to be happening to some extent in the global markets. I don't believe the use of liberal and conservative in global warming debates makes sense, but admit that it is used like a football politically and only clouds the debate with politics. One can see from the Bill Clinton Scandal that the debate was not about impeachment, it was about power, money, and wealth accumulation, just like global warming.
