No, we need to destroy the Earth so that the rich few can continue to become richer. Only 99% of climatologists agree that we are certainly causing the warming anyway.

There is a conspiracy behind those advocating Cap and Trade so that they may rule the world. OR

There is a conspiracy to halt the efforts for less pollution so that oil companies can make more money.

Hmm. . . which one is more believable

The tide is turning. We are beginning to get wise to your scam. It's over. We're waking up to the fact that there is no looming climate catastrophe. Time to think up a new shtick.

This is about the same banks who paid for the presidents election, were then bailed out, and are now funding and profiting from all sides.

How many know that the "Bank of London" financed Hitler, along with granddad BUSH. It's always about the money.

The 911 CR omitted anything about the $100,000 wired from Pakistan, they don't think the money is important. You?
