It's the same dynamic at play in the larger arena of climate change/climate change denial arguments. The deniers trumpet how much Gore et al have to gain from any action to cap carbon emissions. That motivation is a speculative long shot compared to what the fossil fuel industry already has locked in with the status quo. Does anyone think they won't fight dirty and to the bitter end to preserve that? If any side has motivation (and resources) to obfuscate, it's the deniers.

GST, even if climate change is being fueled by fossil fuel emissions (i don't see the evidence as being clear at all - correlation is a reasonable conclusion, but causation is another thing), your government has sold you you out. our entire debt based monetary system it dependent on debt growth, which depends on economic growth. your government plans for 3% economic growth - that's a DOUBLING of the economy in under 25 years. what will a doubling of the economy do to emissions? cap and trade is merely cap and tax that enriches goldman sachs and its nafta lacky - al gore. detroit should be renamed "all gore city." youtube.com if they were serious about emissions, they'd stop all their tax plans and simply tax gasoline. oh, but al gore wouldn't make a billion then! nor would the oil companies be very happy. so they keep oil low and they tax other things. even if you are right that man is creating this warming (maybe, maybe not), your lack of criticism of government sachs basically makes you their tool to achieve their goals and agenda.
