An interesting article from Science and Technology News…

Some interesting excerpts -
“The US Government has spent more than $79 billion of taxpayers’ money since 1989 on policies related to climate change, including science and technology research, administration, propaganda campaigns, foreign aid, and tax breaks. Most of this spending was unnecessary.”
“Carbon trading worldwide reached $126 billion in 2008. BANKS, WHICH PROFIT MOST, ARE CALLING FOR MORE. Experts are predicting the carbon market will reach $2 - $10 trillion in the near future. Hot air will soon be the largest single commodity traded on global exchanges.”
This is BIG-BUSINESS… we are talking TRILLIONS here, and guess who gets to PAY for it… YOU!
[i][b]“Meanwhile, in a distracting sideshow, Exxon-Mobil Corp is repeatedly attacked for paying just $23 million to skeptics—less than a thousandth of what the US government spends on alarmists, and less than one five-thousandth of the value of carbon trading in 2008 alone.”
““This study counts the cost of years of wasted Federal spending on the ‘global warming’ non-problem. Government bodies, big businesses and environmental NGOs have behaved like BIG TOBACCO: recruiting, controlling and rewarding their own “group-think” scientists who bend climate modeling to justify the State’s near-maniacal quest for power, control, wealth and forced population reduction.”[/b][/i]
For those who are believers in man-made global warming, it’s time to start QUESTIONING what you are being fed… ask for PROOF!
