Global Warming has never been about using science, but using group think to force people to accept it. It is a cult.

Disagree. It's about taxing the middle class to fund a bogus "market" in carbon credits off which the corporate aristocracy will feed, dropping the occasional dime on their captive academic and activist minions.

From today's Best of the Web Today (this is an excerpt -- read more at the source):

But how Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The Tennessean raises serious questions. According to the newspaper's report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management:

Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe . . .

Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through Generation Investment Management--he buys stocks. . . .

True, but it is accomplished through cult-like thinking
