My position is that it is hugely important to remain sceptical vis-a-vis the effects of capitalism on climate science (and all types of science for that matter), as well as the intentions of the incredibly rich and powerful people who are pushing this idea. If the science is sound then manipulations and obfuscations should not be necessary imo.

I agree 100%.

My view is that AGW is very real and a major threat. My problem with well meaning people like Corbett is his ignorance disguised as skepticism.

HOWEVER, the fundamental business model of global, financial capitalism to make money breaking something, for example, countries, the planet, etc. Step two is to make money fixing it. From that POV, AGW offers endless opportunities to accumulate capital.

What global elites are not pushing is the idea that wealthy people need to be less wealthy and live in a much simpler life. They avoid and suppress the notion of a class struggle. So we are hearing how global corporations are going to save the planet. :hock::
