Many of the things that people are doing in response to the "threat" of global warming are good for the environment. Unfortunately people have to be bullied and lied to to get them to do good things.

Of course many of the things we are doing in response to the threat global warming are just plain stupid, think compact florescent bulbs with their mercury content, turning food into biofuel or mowing down the rain forests of the world to make biofuels.

My point, if I have one, is that people can only be lied to so many times before crying wolf has no effect. If we take precautions to a non-existent threat, spending trillions of dollars and ruining econimies in the process, what happens when there is a real threat? I'm not entirely sure what that threat might prove to be but I'm sure we will be responsible for it and CO2 will be the driving force and that Al Gore will have to fly all over the world to alert us to the apocalyps.

So, obviously we can always play on people's fears...

So, obviously we can always play on people's fears. Hell, if we can sell them a deodorant by suggesting that their underarms stink, then surely we can take a few oddball temperature readings and convince them that Lake Michigan will soon be overrunning their backyards.
