Remember the buildup to Y2K ? 

The Year 2000 or Millennium Bug, generally referred to as Y2K, was seen as the biggest boon to software sales in the history of computing by the software companies.  In their heart of hearts, every software vendor wanted to use this crisis to sell all new software to every possible customer.  And indeed the media stampeded.

The year 2000 came and went.  Nothing happened.   If you ask one of the hucksters of Y2K maybe they will tell you its because of all that good software they sold us.  But really? Its obvious it was a wildly overblown issue.

Compare this history with the situation surrounding man made global warming.

In the end the goals are the same.  To make us pay up for vaporous ideas.

Made up problems are indeed sad.  They are distractions from the real problems that so many of the world suffer with everyday. Day in. Day out. Without end.  I guess I should expect that in a world where approximately half the voting public are liberals.  They claim to care about people.  What they do not mention is that the people they care about are themselves. ( and their power to coerce )
