UN representative Christina Figueres has already stated in Brussel a couple of years ago that "global warming" has nothing to do with climate, but economy (i.e. "anti-capitalism"): https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/climate-change-scare-tool-to-destroy-capitalism/ https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/climate-change... And as a reminder: consensus !== science.
