It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that there is a lot more at stake for the fossil fuel and status quo energy and business crowd than the people who might benefit(?) from carbon trading and reduction, and new emerging technologies or ways of doing business. It also doesn't take more than a couple clicks of a mouse to see where the biggest lobby dollars go. They go to maintaining the status quo.
And it isn't just for this example, that's an example that has repeated itself since the beginning of time. The people in power, or who control the means and the wealth will always fight tooth an nail to stop progress and new ways of doing things.
And in the end, they'll even deny science, just like all the fundamental religious organizations that want to hang on to their power or their world view.
It's such a transparent and silly tactic.
