The political part comes from companies owning oil and gas resources doing the math and figuring "if we spend $5 million making it look like there's an argument even though there isn't, it can save us from $20 million in regulations." The tobacco companies did the same thing for years trying to make it seem like there was no consensus on cigarettes causing lung cancer, and while eventually they got regulated they did succeed in delaying regulation for a long time. | ||||

Has the environment been adversely affected by greedy corporations since the dawn of the industrial age? Absolutely!
Does that mean that global warming is a real and present danger? Absolutely not! Its widely known that the data behind global warming is sketchy at best, an outright lie at worst. Anyone who has their ear to the wall so to speak knows this. Doesn't take too much intelligence to realize that people like Al Gore are just shills for a bigger agenda. We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster, or for dramatic social change to come and bomb us into the Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our valley, with our localism, our Appropriate Technology, our gardens, our homemade religion, guilt-free at last. – Stewart Brand, 1980 (quoted in: Rodes and Odell, A Dictionary of Environmental Quotations, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997, p. 90) Curing a body of cancer requires radical and invasive therapy, and therefore, curing the biosphere of the human virus will also require a radical and invasive approach. – Paul Watson (founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society), May 04, 2007 We have become a plague upon [ourselves and upon] the Earth…Until such a time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along. – David M. Graber, Los Angeles Times, 22 October 1989 (in Rodes and Odell, op. cit., p. 149) [T]he hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species: Homo sapiens… us. …When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth’s biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory… – The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement Given the total, absolute, and final disappearance of Homo sapiens, then, not only would the Earth’s Community of life continue to exist but in all probability its well-being would be enhanced. Our presence, in short, is not needed. And if we were to take the standpoint of that Life Community and give voice to its true interest, the ending of the human epoch on Earth would most likely be greeted with a hearty “Good riddance!” – Paul W. Taylor, Respect for Nature: A Theory of Environmental Ethics, Princeton University Press, 1986, p. 115 | ||

If you want a hidden agenda, look at who actually stands to lose from global warming laws, and look at how much money they've put in to making you believe that it's "widely known" we shouldn't make laws against them. | |||

Well here's one example. There are plenty of others out there too. The consensus is not as clear cut as people would like it to be.
