Quote:Deliberate or not, you are seemingly not grasping the nuance of the argument, and attempt to write blanket statements wrongly characterizing what I've said. This might be an effective debate technique that you've learned, but I think it is you who are exaggerating my words (e.g. "Al Gore did not mastermind a diabolical plot beginning..."). How dramatic. No, I think he's exactly like many other politicians who see the government as a way to personally enrich themselves.So, let me get this straight. You're talking about an *international* alliance of politicians and scientists, trying to force the entire world to reduce carbon emissions. This will undoubtedly undermine the fundamental building block of western economies since the dawn of the industrial revolution, carbon fossil fuels. This is a process thirty years in the making, with countless millions of hours in scientific, political, diplomatic and economic expertise used trying to forward this agenda.
And you're telling me this all happened because Al Gore and a handful of others could get slightly, but not phenomenally, rich off it all these years later? That would be criminally insane - a super villain plot. And yet, this is the narrative you appear to be supporting.

Afterthought: You don't get to swap "Al Gore" for "Mohammed" in the Kalima in the *title of the fracking thread*, and then disclaim accusations of fanaticism.
