The campaign to politicize GW has worked very well... As long as it is equated to the other "Red vs Blue" issues, nothing will ever be done about it.
Mission Accomplished
... And so "COINCIDENTALLY", nothing need be done about the USE OF COAL AND OIL as fuels, either!! What an amazing coincidence, eh? lol. Wow, who would have ever have thought it would work out so nicely for the energy cartels? Kismet.
If this is not the case, then why...
> Use Al Gore as the main figurehead and spokesman, when half the US was already against him from the 2000 elections? Lol what tactic could possibly have been more effective into turning an issue that has nothing at all to do with politics, into one that is highly political and extremely polarizing?
> Push carbon taxing as the main visible means of "combating" it... Which of course doesn't combat anything, just gives corps a way around having to actually change via new a set of dodges, and pisses off all the peeps who are "anti-tax" simply on principal (which is a large segment of the pop).
> Advertise useless home energy saving techniques like unplugging "wall warts" that are completely ineffective on a grand scale, yet give the impression of "doing something positive". Don't get me wrong, personal energy saving is very worthy in itself (and will certainly be required anyway if one wants to free themselves from the grid). But when saving "15 watts" is considered "having a good day"; while wasting 15,000 watts of energy in your vehicle on the drive to work.... Is just insane.
