All the standard nonsense to distract from what has become blatantly obvious even for the flat-earthers who helped Big Oil/Coal waste decades when we could have been sensibly dealing with the issue. Man-made global climate change is real and the repercussions of doing nothing about it far outweigh the costs. Al Gore was right. The flat-earthers were wrong, as usual.

If a “Captain of Industry” wants to lecture ordinary people on sacrificing for clean air, he needs to reduce his own energy footprint to that of a “Private First Class of Industry”, or else hush. One rich hypocrite does more harm to the environmentalist cause than a dozen oil barons.

Or: 160-some world leaders converged on France a few years ago. The Grand Poohbah among them took between 4-6 widebody aircraft for his part (primary VC-25; backup/Decoy; and typically 2-3 C-5 or C-17 for the Limo and helos).
You’d have thought he could have at least carpooled with Mexico and Canada.
“Yeah, you guys fly to DC, then we’ll take my ride.”Nope. I’d venture to say NONE of them took commercial transport, and of those who flew, they went in the most prestigous ride their respective countries could muster.

So, what are the motives of the (vast majority) of climate scientists who are warning us about climate change? What’s in it for them?
