Yes, the Gov't likes to blame us for things that allow them to duck
the blame and usually guilt us into letting them charge more for
services without us complaining about it.

I think a lot of the Global Warming stuff is being used so we will
pay more for gasoline, electricity and such without complaint..

NOTE: I'm not saying Globel Warming is not happening, I question
whether we caused it or could do anything to stop it seeing as
it's happened multiple times in the past when there were a lot
fewer people on earth to create it..

The world has had a lot more years (twice as many) without polar
ice caps as with them and 4000 years ago they could grow crops
in England that it is now too Cold to grow..

Global warming or natural correction?
