>I also find it odd that it wasn't until the 1990s that global warming became a 'thing.' It was a thing in modern science since the 1940s. Which is about as early as you could gather statistically significant data [1]. It did not garner widespread public attention immediately, as is to be expected. Interesting that you should point out that the mainstream attention only appeared after the end of the cold war, perhaps politicians and journalists where otherwise occupied during that time? > Just seems rather coincidental that the goal of the Marxists has always been the control of the means of production; the same goal and aims of the anti-carbon crowd. The means of production? you mean the carbohydrate-based power used to drive everything we use that absolutely dominated western politics, both economic, foreign, and domestic for many a decade? Or do you mean the new, and relatively small, green power market? Which is, bare a few outcrops, still dominated by the old oil-industry based companies. Be it by investing in alternatives directly or by buying out competing start-ups. [1] http://www.aip.org/history/climate/timeline.htm http://www.aip.org/history/climate/timeline.htm
