[un]Intended consequences!

As with most religious myths, its adherents are very reluctant to let go even when faced with incontrovertible truths. In the case of the AGW myth it has not only been proved to be the fabrication of a few but dangerous as well:
In fact, the death rate from droughts, floods and storms has dropped by 98 per cent since the 1920s, according to a careful study by the independent scholar Indur Goklany. Not because weather has become less dangerous but because people have gained better protection as they got richer…
[But] climate policy is already doing harm. Building wind turbines, growing biofuels and substituting wood for coal in power stations — all policies designed explicitly to fight climate change — have had negligible effects on carbon dioxide emissions. But they have driven people into fuel poverty, made industries uncompetitive, driven up food prices, accelerated the destruction of forests, killed rare birds of prey, and divided communities. To name just some of the effects. Mr Goklany estimates that globally nearly 200,000 people are dying every year, because we are turning 5 per cent of the world’s grain crop into motor fuel instead of food: that pushes people into malnutrition and death. In this country, 65 people a day are dying because they cannot afford to heat their homes properly, according to Christine Liddell of the University of Ulster, yet the government is planning to double the cost of electricity to consumers by 2030.
 
Perhaps the fact that more people are dying is in keeping with the myth-makers view of humanity as a 'virus', and a 'cancer' on this earth (Gaia).

An interesting site exposing green ideologues claiming fake Nobel Peace prizes...it would be funny if it were not that these morons and others like them have wasted billions upon billions of taxpayers money and raked in pretty pennies themselves.
Intellectual vanity of vanities!
