Q: There's some feeling on the right that the left is using global warming to achieve ulterior ends: slowing economic progress, redistributing wealth, etc.

A: You do find people who say the whole thing is a big lefty plot to destroy our way of life. I don't know how you respond to that.

I like that quote: "a big left plot". If it was a big lefty plot, they should never have given it over to the Financial and Commodity Markets types.

Hmm... or maybe that was the nefarious plan!! The best way to lure a capitalist is with the idea that its just another big poker game! This is the same logic that works with using charity events that have some portion devoted to things like Gambling, Auctions, Lotteries, and showing off your own egotistical trading skills!

Hee hee.
