‘Manmade-global-warming-by-carbon-dioxide’ is a government theory. It is a theory that supports (actually, begs for) further government expansion and control over energy and industry.
Despite what the theory’s proponents claim, the theory is highly contested in scientific circles.
Yet ‘the science is settled’ among government circles. And among those who trust government.
The U.S. government is slightly more democratic than most governments in the world, however, and the public has managed to defy government on this issue–in part by electing congressional representatives who are skeptical of the theory.
Now it emerges that the U.S. President and his State Department have been bypassing congressional approvals, and simply dispensing State Department funds (intended by Congress for other purposes) into the ‘global warming’ promotional arm of the United Nations. See here.
