You know, most people don't know this but Global Warming isn't really a climate issue at all. It is 100%, without a doubt a POLLUTION issue, but cleverly disguised as a climate issue, so that's why it has a bad rap, since some people see through the charade and automatically assume they're being deceived. But you see... the politicians, most of the general public and corporate owners buy it and that's good. Scientists have been trying to get these groups to listen to them for years about pollution, but it's too environmental, too "sciency." They needed something everyone can relate with to get people to be concerned; weather. I mean look how often people ask about the weather, people care about it. When you attach an environmental issue with something people care so much about they listen, and that's good for business, good for politics and good for the environment. You see its positive effects every day, more and more cars are being developed that are fuel efficient than ever. Muscle cars are not hip anymore, cool, gas saving, but sporty cute cars are. Like it or not Global Warming (debate) is a success in the eyes of environmentalists. Criticize people like Al Gore all you want, he is just capitalizing on all those environmentalists that don't even realize they're being environmentalists. How is that any different than automobile CEO's raking in the dough off of Global Warming critics who buy expensive, gas guzzling SUVs (the only people who are really being lied to and deceived about Global Warming).
