Hehe.. an interesting aside while we're in the process of brazenly ascribing duplicitous motives to each other. You've said that you grew up during the Cold War (or at least were a teenager or adult in the 70s), and you have also explicitly said on a number of occasions that you link the 'rise' of climate science to the end of the Cold War. Given that the the possibility of anthropogenic greenhouse warming was recognised over a century ago that's obviously absurd, but when it comes to the conspiracy-theory psychological profile - the kind of people who feel they need some insight into an overarching plan, even if it's a horrendous one - your repeated, explicit suggestions about a paradigm shift after the Cold War are very interesting indeed.
