This is one of the reasons I prefer to look at the political, social and financial aspects. It's easier than trying to figure out the science.
Your source isn't a climatologist but the physics was educational.

Says the master of tossing Alex Jones and Mike Adams 'into the ring'.

I was responding to YOUR comment that you find it impossible to imagine a conspiracy. If you are still seeing Iraq WMD lies and global mortgage fraud as theories, that's quite a failure of imagination.
As usual, you muddy the distinction between what I believe and the most extreme 'CT' views. I told you 2 years ago I don't see
one group of 'elites'. So your points on that are bogus. There are some factions which are mainstream. 'Neocons'. Central Bankers. Communists. The 'Israel Lobby'. 'Vulture' or 'Disaster' capitalists. Nazis (Bush family?). Perhaps a religious faction or two. Is Sauron's Eye overlooking them all? Bankers are said to sit atop the pyramid. I don't know but they sure aren't at the bottom.
Whether 'globalization' or a 'NWO', there is an effort to construct global financial, medical, environmental and military system of 'governance', with a loss of sovereignty for national governments. This is a work-in-progress, so spinning any setback as a sign that no conspiracy exists is premature.
As far as AGW is concerned there seems to be a collaboration between communists/socialists, who've hijacked the environmental movement and political chancers like Obama and Gore who are rewarded with a big slice of the cake if they help it succeed. Since Gold In My Sacks (popping up again) backed the Chicago exchange, you know bankers were involved. For the political insiders, it's just another 'Enron' and 'Savings and Loan' get-filthy-rich Ponzi scheme.
Those other unfounded conspiracy theories are very different circumstances
Lying is a unifying constant.
Are they as 'unfounded' as AGW? Climate Science is using reasonable (although speculative) conjectures and drawing conclusions. You could apply the same computer modelling being applied to AGW, to any of the 'theories'. For example. Feed in the raw data.. the murder of JFK, his brother and offspring; and the assassinations and attempts (such as Reagan) on previous Presidents. Enter them into your computer model, with all the possible reasons they were topped and you will produce a nifty graph showing a definite correlation between number of assassinations 'x' and attempts to escape the bankers usurious system 'y'. For arguments sake take 'Z' as proof and 'c', a reasonable conclusion and introduce 'l', an official pronouncement (unofficially known as a load of cobblers). 'c' and 'l' are constants. 'Z' is determined by observing the output, since inputs are usually hidden. 'v' is a bullet-proof vest. And 'w' a wild goose chase.
The formula is quite simple. With x directly proportional to y-v, c= (l+w)-Z. Otherwise known as 'Plum's Postulates'. There is a very clear rising trend, since the 'Obscene Period', (where assassinations occurred) with increased amounts of legislation passed in bankers favour. This is due to APF (Anthropogenic Presidential Forcing). There is an overwhelming consensus amongst CT 'scientists' about this. In fact I'd go as far as to say the science is settled.
So two questions remain...
1) Why did the Energy Tax legislation get kicked into touch if the elite criminals running the show supposedly engineered all this??
If memory serves, the GAO (government bean counters) could not quantify how much to charge companies for emissions. There was no valid formula for calculating the impact of individual emissions on climate. With no way to monetize CO2 emissions, the Chicago Exchange hotbed of crooks and thieves... Goldman Sachs, Gore and Obama.. bit the dust. The market lost confidence and the public mood began to change. No 'Plunge Protection Team' could save it. It's not such a loss to insiders who have already made fortunes being in the trade early. Anyone playing the markets understands 'PUMP AND DUMP' and 'Story Stocks'. The story was 'global warming'. Cash in on the initial Gore and media-generated mania, then unload as the bagholders pile in. Short the stock to death on the way down. Make a fortune both ways. It's not a disaster when you're an insider.
2) Why is the likes of China, and it's army of scientists who are ranked top in the world as a community, in agreement with the science if it's supposedly junk??
I thought all the climate data was coming from only 4 sources in North America and the UK? How far back does Chinese climate data go? Russian? If they are top ranked, besides the nice press releases, what scientific input have they provided?
MrPlum wrote:Produce evidence China is curtailing its economy due to AGW.
You know the point wasn't have China curtailed anything yet, that's a red herring.
I can spot a red herring when I see one. If the 'top-ranked' scientists believed all the Armageddon scenarios had any credibility, they would already have taken massive steps. The National Geographic feature that made a mockery of your Chinese 5-year plans, made it clear that nothing could be achieved for 30 years.
Possibly a 2% reduction in emissions. Which tells you all you need to know about the level of belief in China. What
does make sense is China's move to clean fuel technologies to reduce its serious pollution problems.
China and their army of scientists, ranked among the best in the world, certainly agree with the science on man-made warming.
Are you wearing a red Ra-Ra skirt?
They were hardly pressured into it by Al Gore & co, they couldn't even get their own Democratic politicians to support the legislation.
You've been given the reasons.
one thing it has not been shown to be is an orchastrated plot by a powerful group of elite's that weild any kind of power or control over politicians, media, scientific communities etc.
I think they had a good run for their money. Unless you are suggesting the whole idea just evolved spontaneously in an environmental petri dish?
The tax/tarrif/carbon criminal legislation came and went WITHOUT even getting into the House for a vote. Kicked into touch by the politicians the elite supposedly own.
Tell that to Europe and Australia.
The only member of the Rockefeller family serving in Government (in a position of influence as Chairman of Senate Committee on Commerce & Science), personally introduced a bill to... Quote: "suspend any EPA action under the Clean Air Act with respect to carbon dioxide or methane"
'Suspend' isn't cancel.
How about the standard of this double factoid... Quote: "the biggest losers are Chicago Climate Exchange CCX’s two biggest investors, Al Gore's Generation Investment Management and Goldman Sachs".
Not the full story. How much money did Gore and/or GS make before it went broke? They aren't stupid. As insiders they will have abandoned their positions or shorted the exchange before it went tits up. Does Gore look broke?
Ok, seeing as you asked
...Quote: "The now defunct Chicago Climate Exchange was the GHG reduction and trading system. Trading reached zero monthly volume in February 2010 and remained at zero for the next 9 months when the decision to close the exchange was announced."
Does Obama look broke?
SHOREBANK, c/w Jewish backers, went under. Along with most of the other major Jewish bankers... Lehmans, Bear Stearns, Kuhn Loeb & Co, Salomon Brothers, Bache & Co, Merrill Lynch, August Belmont & Co and J&W Seligman & Co
'Went under' sounds so dramatic. Those poor bankers really suffered...
