In my more cynical moments I wonder if the global warming scare is a modern way of exploiting hidden knowledge of solar cycles by a power elite to impose a global carbon tax. Like there is such a rush to put it in place so when the climate cools down again in 20 years or whatever they can point to the tax and say "it saved us from armageddon, we must NEVER think of living without the global carbon tax - for it along with the exalted climatologists and (likely) the democrats have saved the Earth from the evil polluting capitalists (who are making money hand over fist trading carbon offset securities - after writing the regulations)."
Or equally likely, pre-empt an inevitable warming cycle by demonizing those against global carbon taxation as the cause of the warming. "Even WITH the global carbon tax, which was watered down by evil capitalists writing the regulations, global warming continues - so the exalted climatologists are vindicated as are (likely) the democrats for trying to save the Earth (though the warming was due to solar activity, greenhouse skeptics will be forever branded heretics for having pushed us over the tipping point).
"Knowledge is power."
