There was a post a few days ago that speculated ‘global warming’ was a Russian disinformation scam to get ‘first world counties’ to throw away money and ‘advantage’... it seems possible.
I read the article and it seems possible. I don't know for sure who originated the scam -- I've traced it back as far as Maurice Strong, the first U.N. Environment Program chief, who organized the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, which led to the launch of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
But don't you find it somewhat suspicious that Mikhail Gorbachev went from leading the USSR to founding Green Cross International? He became an "environmentalist" for whatever reason, but he never stopped being a Communist.
