I'm concerned that you are a card carrying member of the Church of Global Warming. In the real science world, you're supposed to ask questions and to be skeptical.

All the concerns center on power. Global Warming isn't a new idea. The Denier/Skeptic business is. It began in the 1970's at the earliest, and whatever credibility it has was acquired since 2000.
Scientists have an important finding. They want to build public awareness and support of the moral implications of their discoveries. The reaction by those invested in the status quo is to attack the finding and the scientists. The same thing happened after the Manhattan Project.
Next to power in importance for the skeptics/deniers is money. If there are costs involved with repairing their share of the damage, they want someone else to pay their share of the cost. Simple as that. Usually that ends up being the poor.

One of the major concern is the limitation in the use of oil which the oil industry fears, or at least the Number One.
Off course oil will not be banned but even a small reduction in its consumption (10%) would lead to a different demand/supply ratio and the price might fall down to 50% !
It is a question of very big money. Oil companies are able to survive at an oil price of 10-15$ per barrel but nowaday's prices are close to 70$. You can easily imagine the profit margin... especially since the contracts for oil field concessions have been made in the past, assuming a much lower oil price. So basically the profit surges while the cost stay constant.

enable's take the main contemporary hysteria: SARS in 2002-2003. approximately 9,000 human beings died of SARS. some million,2 hundred,000 human beings died in site visitors injuries for the time of that comparable era. which ability 133 situations greater human beings died in site visitors injuries than in SARS. keep in mind this earlier you panic and unfold panic. each few years there is unthinking hysteria approximately issues like this. keep in mind how the international replaced into destroyed via SARS seven years in the past? Ebola and Hanta virus interior the 90s? Swine flu, AIDS and herpes interior the 80s? Legionnaire's illness and Hong Kong flu interior the 70s? In each a form of circumstances the previous 3 many years, some human beings screamed "the sky is falling" and have been optimistic the human race replaced into going to lose a huge fraction of its inhabitants. yet, aside from AIDS, the variety of deaths in each united states replaced right into a tiny fraction (one million/a hundred or one million/one million,000) of the variety of people killed each year via vehicle injuries in those international locations.

How about the total lacking of objective science? When the believers, the faithful can determine the climate in the future, then there would be no "denial machine". But for all the faithful know they cannot tell us if it will be warmer or cooler 5 years from now.

Bad computer models that fail miserably to model the real world being used as a justification to take my money.
Eco-nuts who jump on every "man is bad, nature is good" bandwagon in an attempt to destroy the industrialized world in favor of some "agrarian utopia" where malaria and dysentery reign supreme.
Politicians who use ignorant but passionate "grass roots" movements to regulate my life un-nescessarily.
Need I go on?
And believe it or not, I don't get one DIME from the oil industry!

I'm not a part of the 'denial machine' myself but it would appear that two of the most commonly cited concerns are the restriction of personal freedoms and the imposition of taxes; hence the number of refernces to global warming being a government conspiracy etc.

try REAL science, instead of an agenda under the cover of science.
for 40 years, the experts have not had ONE prediction come true!
NOT ONE!
famine
mass death
shifting of food production regions
climate change
overpopulation
global cooling
mass starvation
massive glaciers
uninhabitable places on earth
running out of fossil fuel
all this was supposed to happen by the year 2000, and if man didn't stop using fossil fuels.
now these SAME "experts" want us to "believe" global warming because it's "real"?
