Global Warming...fact or global conspiracy 
We have since learned that, due to man's intervention, we have
inadvertently reversed the prevailing trend towards a Glacial
Period in our planets' climate. We are now facing a contrary
situation. Earth's climate, we are told, is becoming warmer.
Furthermore, we are told that this course cannot be reversed
(again. sic). This impending age of increasing temperatures,
melting glaciers and polar ice caps cannot be stopped. Climate
Change can, however, be somehow delayed or mitigated.
Now we find ourselves, as a planet, promoting efforts that, when
viewed with a different paradigm, can easily be deemed as being
ludicrous as a bulwark against the inevitable. Through the Kyoto
Accord, we see one side of the planet sacrificing their economies
in an effort to stem their greenhouse gas emissions while the other
side of the world is given, literally, a ca rte Blanche as to their
emission levels. Speaking in realistic terms, this is an
unrealistic approach.
The we find ourselves, collectively, assuaging our supposed guilt
about our extravacances; airplane travel, SUV use, home and
business power usage , by purchasing carbon offsets. A means to
counter-balance our personal and collective greenhouse gas
emissions through the funding of what amounts to 'planting a tree
to receive a social indulgence for taking a flight to Hawaii'. Does
this really do anything to delay the, as they put it the
inevitable?
Could there be forces that have recognized a genuine global
disaster afoot and, recognizing it's inevitability, are seeking to
gain profit from the situation? By profit, I mean to gain from this
Global Warming Alarm to position themselves to survive whatever
might be coming; on a personal level for the short term or
,collectively, on a national or societal level?
