A Fraud?

The fellows at the Issues & Insights website are speculating that the existential threat of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere isn't just a scientific error but rather a calculated lie by parties with political and financial interests in the fable, that it's about power and money. 

One doesn't need to be very intelligent or educated to realize that climate, over the long haul, definitely changes. Incredible changes have occurred in geologically relatively short periods of time when few if any humans were around to release CO2 and greenhouse gases into the sky. About 9000 years ago, the blink of an eye in the planet's history, much of  what's the northern US was covered in the mile-high sheet of a continental glacier. As the mantle of ice melted it left many signs of its former presence, glacial Lake Agassiz, for instance, its beaches and pot holes that are now part of the Red River Valley and its neighboring areas in North Dakota and Minnesota.

The existence of glacial Lake Agassiz and its disappearance has been known and accepted by geologists since the early 19th century. It is just one of many examples of incontrovertible evidence of dramatic climate change over a short period of time with no contribution by humankind. Life went on.

This is no secret and those hoping to use climate change as a vehicle to power and wealth are even more aware of the truth than the typical person.
