via fraud science...Your Movement..Has Been Hijacked
http://www.corbettreport.com/articles/20091125_enviro_message.htm
Transcript:..You/who..have watched..with growing concern..the ways in which/the world around us..has been ravaged..in the pursuit of..the almighty dollar.
You..who are concerned.with the state of.the planet..that we are leaving..for our children..and our grandchildren..and those generations yet unborn.
This..is not/a message of/divisiveness,..but cooperation.
This..is a message/of hope and empowerment.. but it..requires us..to look at a hard..and uncomfortable truth:..Your movement..has been usurped..by the very same...financial interests..you thought/you were fighting against.
You have suspected..as much for years.
You watched..at first with hope..and excitement..as your movement,..your cause,.your message/began to spread,..as it was taken up by the media..and given attention,..as conferences were organized and as the ideas..you had struggled/so long and hard..to be heard..were talked about..nationally...Then internationally.
You watched with growing unease..as the message was simplified...First..it became a slogan...Then..it became a brand...Soon it was nothing more..than a label..and it became attached to products/bands/parties.
The ideas..you had once fought for..were now being sold/back..to you. For profit/..via carbon tax.
You watched..with growing unease..as the message became parroted,..

.. not argued, worn like a fashion

..rather than something..that came..from/the conviction..of understanding.
You disagreed..when the slogans–and..then the science–were dumbed down...When carbon dioxide..became the focus..and CO2 was taken up as a political-cause..Soon..it was the only cause.
You knew that..Al Gore was not a scientist,..that his evidence/was factually incorrect,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/11/AR2007101102134.html
knew..that the movement..was being taken-over..by a cause..that was not/your own,..one that relied..on beliefs..you did not share..to propose a solution..you did not want
It began..to reach a/breaking-point..when you saw..that the solutions being proposed..were not solutions..at all,..when they began to propose..new taxes..and new markets..that would only serve..to line their own/pockets.
You knew something..was wrong..when you saw them argue..for a cap-and-trade scheme proposed by Ken Lay,

..when you saw Goldman/Sachs..position itself..to ride the carbon trading bubble,

..when the whole thrust..of the movement..became ways..to make money or spend money..or raise money/from this panic.
Your movement..had been hijacked.
The realization..came the first time..you read The Club of Rome’s 1991 book,..The First Global Revolution,

..which says..QUOTE..“In searching..for a common/enemy..against whom..we can unite,..we came up..with the idea..that pollution,..the threat of global warming,..water-shortages,..famine..and the like,..would fit the bill
