But that's the point, isn't it? It is the 'recognised' truth. It isn't a truth that individuals have all worked out by themselves. It isn't a truth that people recognised that they even needed.
It's a truth that has been foisted upon them by a political elite. It may well actually be a truth, but it is 'recognised' as such because of the enormous machine behind it. So I do not agree that their is a vast worldwide consensus of understanding, just a majority of believe in what they are told.
I would be far warmer (!) to the way that AGW is sowed, propogated and harvested if the government did some real action instead of simple taxation. The current methology seems to be aimed at subjugating a population through fear and poverty, whislt low cost airlines are encouraged, immigration is encouraged, more house building is encouraged, less money is spent on rail transport and so on.
AGW may or may not turn out to be the truth. But if it is, then the global elite must be laughing their socks off at managing to convince and tax and subjugate the populace.
