Your kind is nothing new on this planet.
To mamooth: Indeed your kind have been at it for centuries. Let me remind you that you read this before:
Phlogiston Theory
Centuries ago, Al Gore’s scientific consensus gave the world the phlogiston theory. The following excerpt from a piece by Robert Tracinski’s gives a brief history:
In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, in the early years of the science of chemistry, many serious scientists accepted phlogiston theory. This was an attempt to explain the chemical processes of combustion, oxidation, and metabolism by inferring the existence of a substance call "phlogiston." This theory was wrong, but it was not a totally crazy invention; it simply came too early, before scientists had sufficient evidence to prove a theory of combustion. Phlogiston was only superseded when the great chemist Lavoisier identified oxygen as the substance that is actually responsible for combustion, a discovery that helped pave the way for the development of modern chemistry.
This next excerpt is beautiful in its simplicity in relation to today’s global warming scam:
But imagine: what would have happened if the government had come along and pumped the equivalent of billions of dollars into phlogiston research? What if phlogiston had become a social cause, promoted by political leaders, touted by famous actors, defended by the culture's best writers? What if those who raised objections to the theory were vilified as "phlogiston deniers" and had to worry about losing funding for their research?
Yet that is precisely how today's scientific, political, and cultural establishment is approaching the nascent science of climatology.
The questions posed by Mr. Tracinski are not that difficult to answer. As a matter of self-preservation a phlogiston bureaucracy feeding on tax dollars would have quickly acquired enough authority to get away with manufacturing scientific “facts” as well as accumulating the muscle to silence critics. Does that sound familiar?
Assuming that phlogiston theory would have eventually been disproved by Lavoisier, the phlogiston parasites would have been so entrenched in France’s public trough they would be there in perpetuity. It is easier for literal scientists to cure all of the diseases known to man than it is for scientific truth to drive one parasite away from the public trough.
NOTE: In today’s America plagued by bureaucratic tyranny, how much simpler it is for those with a vested interest in big government to write and enforce regulations than it is to get an oppressive law enacted. I do not know about you but I have never voted for a bureaucrat, nor have I ever heard a proposed regulation debated by an informed public before it was implemented by bureaucrats.
The members of Congress plaster sorrowful expressions on their faces every time they admit to failing in their oversight responsibilities —— which happens every other week. So with all of Congress’ oversight failures, and with bureaucrats and judges making the laws these days just how do our elected sad sacks spend their time? Between unelected bureaucrats and bossy judges it is getting mighty hard to locate individual liberties.
The final excerpt reminds us that the founder of modern chemistry lost his head:
During the Reign of Terror, the French government sent Lavoisier to the guillotine because of his connections to the old aristocratic regime. That is one of history's great crimes against science -- but it probably did less damage than our government has caused by killing climatology with the false kindness of politically motivated research funding.
I suspect that Lavoisier incurred the wrath of phlogiston’s true believers, just as today’s environmental priesthood would behead all who speak out against the global warming fraud.

. Obviously, when so many people saw billions of $$ wasted on solar energy, they realized the DUMS were doing it wrong.
