It's also a very successful tax grift. France's carbon tax ended up covering a tax break for the rich and was an of the instigating forces in the yellow vest protests.

Oddly enough, global cooling is far more disastrous than global warming, it is believed that there was a period of cooling that led to the Black Plague
Have a link to that? Maybe I'm wrong but I seem to remember the Plague was likely was caused by a warmer and wetter central Asia which allowed the pestis bacteria to breed and spread thru Europe a number of years later.

Unless we get a full blown ice age I see no metric where global cooling can be more disastrous than the record breaking storms, crazy wildfires, ocean level rises, fresh water shortages and deadly heat waves caused by warming.
