While some of us are perfectly comfortable with trashing the planet, most people actually want clean air and water, and for the polar ice caps to keep the water off Manhattan and Florida.
So it's a more broad than "special" interest.

Blah, Blah, Blah. We are not "trashing" the planet. The planet has been far hotter, and far colder than it is today at times long before the evolution of man, let alone the industrial revolution.
I predict over ten years ago that eventually as the prediction models used to promote the hysteria were consistently proven to be wrong (they have been) that we would start to hear less and less about "global warming" and that they would come up with something else. Well, I was right, "global warming" is being steadily pushed aside in favor of the rhetorical catch-all "global climate change", the dishonesty of which is breathtaking. There has never been, and will never be until the Earth's core goes cold and the sun burns out, a time where the global climate is static.
In fact, it no appears that we are in the midst of a cyclical cooling trend, and we had best hope that it does not continue as we are MUCH better off as a civilization with warmer climates than cooler ones for a myriad of reasons.
All of this wil go the way of the great killer bees hysteria of the late-1970s
BTW, if you don't think there are plenty of people making a very nice living (and in some instances getting really, really rich) off of all of this, then you're just ignorant of reality.
