thx.

Let's see, back in the 1970's, the first Earth Day, global cooling was
supposed to kill us all by 2000. Then in the 1980's it was global
warming that's our bane.

I get so confused, do I invest in more insulation or more sunscreen?

Invest in bull**** repellent. In the 1970s the weather scientists got
media attention and government grants by predicting a new ice age.
That scam ran dry so then they started predicting global warming.

Politicians and environmentalists love global warming because they can
"cure" it by imposing billions of dollars in energy taxes and reducing
our standard of living. Greed and envy are powerful human motivators,
especially in people who believe that they are too noble to be subject
to greed and envy.

Maybe the same environmentalist figure they got so much out of the
warming scam that they decided to change the tact in hopes of
expanding the regs.

It's all about political power.
