AGW is popular with people who need to feel superior because it allows them to eco-shame less enlightened beings under the guise of environmental awareness and concern. It's a religion complete with ministers and priests and tithing, as well as its own sacrificial system.

AGW is also popular for those who are looking for more and more money to fall into their hands as they invent "green" "and earth-friendly" products and services for gullible consumers who need to show how much they care.

I wonder what is the breakdown between true believers in AGW and those who are laughing all the way to the bank with their "green" in hand.

Seems like the meanings of re-use and recycling have been divorced from the concepts of thriftiness and resourcefulness, and now are wedded to emotional arguments that cost a whole lot of money and waste resources, time, money, and talent.

There are an awful lot of home products/building materials out there that cost an arm and a leg over conventional materials, yet are x% recycled content. IOW, glorified trash. A successful business model based on converting trash to treasure is one thing, but I suspect that there are some hefty profit margins for those who demonize profits while shaming "wasteful" people.

Generally the whole eco scam is predicated upon ego, insincerity, underhanded manipulation, and outright deceit. Explains why AlGore is the high priest.
