Genius summary, great question. Your brief history of "the greatest conspiracy in the history of the world" says it all. The idea that 90% of the world's climatologists, meteorologists and other earth scientists could successfully get together, regardless of their political views, nationality or religion, and conspire with politicians, fledgling little alternative energy companies, the editors of peer-reviewed journals, and virtually every mass-media outlet with the prominent exception of Fox Noise, to create and perpetuate a hoax of this magnitude... well, it just boggles the mind.
How do deniers think that the Arctic is melting, tropical glaciers have nearly disappeared, other glaciers around the world are rapidly receding, plant species are migrating higher in elevation and farther from the equator, spring is arriving earlier in temperate climates around the world, coral reefs are dissolving in oceans made more acidic by carbonic acid due to increased CO2, permafrost is melting where it has never melted in recorded history, and ocean levels have risen enough to render several low-lying island nations nearly uninhabitable? Is this all an elaborate illusion created by David Copperfield?
I don't know when it started. They were telling me there were killer bees on their way back in 1972. Still waiting on them, BTW.
I saw the first suggestions of global warming theory in the early to mid 70s, but it predated that era. Of course, in 1978, many global warming theorists, like Carl Sagan, jumped ship to support the notion of a new ice age. Then, a little later, he was back to global warming.
My guess is that the original "theory" started long before I heard of it. Probably in the 1960s, when so many people were on LSD and so many scientists were created by college students trying to stay in school to avoid the war. Your belief that there were no global warming theorists before 1988 is very wrong.
The hoax hypothesis is not a hypothesis; the emails tell us this is a fact. Besides, global warming is a lie. If the planet is hotter, why is sea level not rising?
Why do you global warming believers keep AVOIDING SEA LEVEL QUESTIONS? It should be 15 inches for every degree Fahrenheit it goes up, until it hits a rise of about 250 feet, when all of the antarctic ice cap is melted. And no, ice melting in the ocean will not affect that by more than 10%, so the north pole melting means nothing in this regard.
Or Virtually nothing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
