But what drives all this is money. Scientists can get all sorts of grants if they come up with research projects for popular theories. In this case the have-nots are the ones who poo-poo global warming, and are ridiculed for saying so.
 And if the people are happy with the science then they'll happily fork out in taxes to 'help save the planet'. Sure, there are some good practises being rolled out; recycling, home insutlation and all that, but we are paying for them one way or another.

I would like to drop this on your collective laps though. A few years ago a guy in the USA proposed that Airliners were actually helping to slow the rise in global temperatures by dint of the fact that they spew tones of exhaust particles into the higher atmosphere. These particles reflect sunlight back into space, the obvious benefit being that the temperature on the ground stays reletively low.

His problem was how to prove this theory. He needed every airliner in the country to stay grounded long enough for the particles to disipate and let the sunlight reach the lower atmosphere. He lucked out in a way it seems when for three or four days the entire USA was completely devoid of air traffic. Sure enough, the ground temperature rose and most of the country was bathed in glorious sunshine.
