The people pushing it are positioning themselves to profit from the selling of it.
Al Gore is the prime example.
The fact that he was able to sell his propaganda in schools across the country is appalling.
The snake oil he was selling those kids was demonstrable BS.
Not only “sell it in schools”.. he got a federal tax added to every phone bill, cell or landline. For: wiring the internet into schools. Wiring.
Schools have wireless/satellite/dsl over phone lines. No extra wiring beyond usual needed. Hence no need for a usage tax for a special fund.
It is still on every phone bill. Just like the gore tax on diesel fuel requiring a red dye be added to taxed fuel. Still exists also and is quite costly.
Guy is a manipulative lying lib socialist fraud. And lining his pockets as a venture socialist.
You all know this, but...
This whole global warming is a scam. It was created by politicians to take more control and to extort money from the people.
They created the complete carbon exchange program, CCX, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Climate_Exchange .
They created false front businesses to funnel extorted money through, money laundering. The progressives are deep into this scam and make millions and millions through it.
Using the concept of carbon credits to force companies to comply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_credit
The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”
Essentially Obama helped fund the profiteers of the carbon taxation program that he is now seeking to steer through Congress.
McLeod also notes that The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has direct ties to both Al Gore and Maurice Strong, two figures intimately involved with a long standing movement to use the theory of man made global warming as a mechanism for profit and social engineering.
Gore’s investment company, Generation Investment Management, which sells carbon offset opportunities, is the largest shareholder of CCX.
While Maurice Strong, who is regularly credited as founding father of the modern environmental movement, serves on the board of directors of CCX. Strong was a leading initiate of the Earth Summit in the early 90s, where the theory of global warming caused by CO2 generated by human activity was most notably advanced.” http://www.prisonplanet.com/research-reports-obama-intimately-tied-to-phony-environmental-movement.html
The exchange’s founder, Richard Sandor … [had] estimated that climate trading could be “a $10 trillion market,” …
The biggest losers are CCX’s two biggest investors, Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management and Goldman Sachs … CCX’s collapse was inevitable as both the enthusiasm for cap-and-trade — and the world itself — cooled. After the e-mail exchanges from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia reveled the extent to which global climate data were being manipulated to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, hopes for profiting off the scam with another scam evaporated.” http://theatheistconservative.com/tag/chicago-carbon-exchange/
