In terms of global warming and its causes, what scientific studies, experimentation and controls exist or can exist that control for or differentiate among numerous possible causes?
If man collectively or in terms of mankind (the anthro- factor) must be held accountable (and therefore must prevent the proper response in terms of taxation, regulation and the empowerment of some form of government to take action), and yet it can be argued if not demonstrated that most Western governments are controlled by an elite plutocracy of some form or another, then why must all the people who make up the totality of mankind be forced into a state of mandatory or at least passive compliance with an elite few?
Is not this idea of the totality of man, the collectivist god, just another layer of elitist claptrap?
