I'm sure that there are some large commercial and hierarchical outfits that are very opposed to the present popular global warming theory because it presents a threat to their immediate profits, Amos. No argument there.

I think there's another consortium of special interests who are very interested in promoting the present popular global warming theory, because it is advantageous to their immediate power, profits, and selfish interests.

So...I think there are 2 sets of dogs baying on either side of the fence, as it were, when it comes to climate change and either one of them or both of them may be quite intent on misleading the public for their own personal gain.

I know the media loves a good scare story, and so do our leaders, because it gets us all onside to let them change laws and alter various things...and it gets us to panic and spend money.
