Edit Reason: grammar
I have to confess that when I started hearing about global warming, I was very openly skeptical. Not because of 'science.' And not because of any information or observations I was personally clinging to.
I was skeptical because I hate modern media-amplified, profit scouring, dramatized narrative-spewing activists. (This includes, but is not limited to, self-serving celebrities in the guise of "stars' and 'politicians.)
They are all so adept in generating sound bites, negative aspersions about dissenters, signaling their version of virtue... all while not knowing one damn thing they are talking about. There are some exceptions, but those usually won't 'sell out' to marketing or self-promotion.
The message about global warming was - from my perspective - sabotaged from the get-go by obtuse, hypocritical, 'plastic' people who cared nothing for the situation, only how it could be used to continue their ambition of perpetually being in the spotlight.
The climate always changes, it always has, it has never been 'exactly as it was before' and it never will be. It's called "time."
Paul Harvey spoke very much about the problem, and it wasn't climate change or the ecological changes that were subject to it. He spoke about the 'actors' who seize the 'news' and make an end run for the pot of gold at the end of their black rainbow. "Carbon credits" come to mind. How now one saw the "new currency" being created for exploitation never ceases to amaze me.
