[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3284201, member: 24302"] But scientists have been caught altering data because they weren't getting the outcomes they wanted. That's why the motives of those who push this are often suspect. Look at what they were going to do with carbon credits. Any company anywhere, whether they were truly in business or not, could sell credits to the companies who need them. Thus a registered company in Uganda which isn't really polluting at all could sell credits to a huge emitter of carbon like UPS. UPS would either be incentivised to do better to prevent buying of credits, or it would just continue buying the credits it needed to operate. Either way the poor people in Uganda would get money. Or wherever they bought them. UPS would see a reduction in profit, possibly a lowering of its workers' pay, to be in compliance and the wealth would be spread around. Seems global warming is the perfect vehicle for redistributing wealth around the world as if passed and enforced by the U.N all companies everywhere that pollute would have to seek out credits they can purchase to offset their emissions. And anyone can set up a business to sell them credits. [/QUOTE]
