The bottom line to all this BS is this: The money in your bank account and your freedom to do what you want to do with it - Is far more important to the Global Elites and the people who sit on the high chairs in the United Nations, and IMF than any Carbon Emission they'd like you to believe you created! Follow the money! How obvious does it have to get before you can see? Re: Check out what Government is doing behind your back at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VebOTc-7shU

(Is that scary enough to keep our grant money coming?)
