That's right, because they are a *lie* that every Yang is taught
from grade school to believe without question. It is the Framers'
way of telling you, the citizen, that it's really rain that is falling on
your head.

Let's assume that the alarmists are correct and that global warming
is a direct consequence of the petroleum-based industrial age.
Under any *meaningful* attempt to reverse its effects, the rich
will still be able to travel by air to visit relatives over Thanskgiving
weekend. They will still be able to afford fresh red peppers from
Israel in February. They will still be able to live in their suburban
McMansions and commute to the newly-reindustrialized urban
centers. The rich won’t miss box stores and their inexpensive
wares when they disappear.

The same can't be said of the rest of us.

There is little wonder why many suspect a hidden agenda
behind global warming alarm when its proponents tend to stay
vague about serious solutions to the problem, or frame it in
terms of class envy.
