“scientists have needed funds, the media a story, and governments a worthy cause”
But it so much bigger than a worthy cause for governments. In the Copenhagen treaty it stated clearly that some of the billions generated through new global environmental taxes would be used to build offices in every nation. The offices would be built for UN officials who would oversee and control the spending of those billions. In other words, it was the beginning of a fledgling world government. Once the UN has taken the position as a world government, there will be no putting the Genie back in the bottle. I can’t see why any country would agree to a new unelected leader. They wouldn’t, so they must be tricked into it.
This is not merely a worthy cause. The climate change scare is about control.
