VXerick, you are right. It has always been about making money by selling "carbon credits", utterly worthless permission slips to emit "greenhouse gases", something the Earth does all the time. At the same time, however, the Greens are opposed to the use of the energy sources, coal, oil, natural gas, and even nuclear, needed for a modern economy. The bs about renewable energy (solar and wind) was all based on government subsidies and grants---again a money making enterprise that, in turn, forces up the cost of electricity to the end-users.

The "world leaders" who bought into this are the same kind of people who will be sitting on mountain tops waiting for the end of the world in December because the Mayans made a calendar centuries ago.
