Another reason is that progressive liberals have seized this issue to bring down the Western nations, all while lining their own pockets. They'll tax and regulate our economies into the ground, but their nests will still be feathered quite nicely.

Yes IPCC and their allies wan to impose a Carbon tax on the industrial countries and distribute the proceeds to developing nations.

What it will amount to is siphoning off money from capitalist (or semi-capitalist) countries to shore up socialist depots.

Sort of like LBJ’s war on poverty. I love to ask liberals about that when they start whining .... “how’s that 2-5 trillion dollar war on poverty working out .... no poverty anymore .... right”?
