Global warming has been a socialist's dream and if these leaks hadn't stopped it it could have been the vehicle to socializing the US economy an creating a world socialist government. The left is so close to this dream that they will continue to scream global warming in hopes that enough politicians will listen and sell us all into world socialism.
Large corporation like GE have bought into global warming both as a marketing tool and as a pipeline to massive government funds. No global warming and the pipeline to the US Treasury is gone.
Global warming hucksters like Al Gore have been promoting global warming as a get rich quick scheme. Being on the bottom floor of any mandated carbon cap and trade could means billions of dollars. No global warming no money.
Lastly are the global warming zealots for whom global warming is a matter of religious dogma. They have ascribed to the notion that mankind simply by being on the planet despoils it and that human activity of any kind especially by evil corporations is killing perfect mother earth. They are willing to forgo the use of toilet paper, have no children, eat no meat, wear no leather, transport themselves to save the earth rallies by bicycle and live in hovels made out of recycled materials and when they die have their bodies disposed in an ecologically sound manner all in worship to perfect mother earth. These are kooks who will persist in these beliefs regardless of any scientific data that says otherwise. They will continue to make hemp belts, live in communes and smoke pot.
