Environmentalists love to portray themselves as plucky underdogs standing up courageously to huge corporate monsters. The truth, though, is that they are exceptionally well-funded – better funded in many cases than the corporations’ publicity arms – exceptionally well-organized with very sophisticated PR machines behind them. They also have a head start over the energy companies because so many reporters and editors are ready to repeat anything and everything environmentalists say as gospel.
Next time a green activist talks about corporate greed or the power of transnational companies, scoff.

What do you think, will the taxpayers see any of these dollars again? I am sure that the taxpayers will be just "unlucky" because they won't. ;-)
Just like a communist is a person who is ready to sacrifice your life for his ideals, a global warming alarmist is a person who is ready to sacrifice your wealth for his delusions.
