It is the belief that the scentists can be trusted to do the
research they
are supposed to do in a scientifically responsible way, vs. the
belief in
the conspiracy theory that the entire scientific field has been
hijacked by
ultra left wing environmental pressure groups.

A conspiracy theory that has become spread through massive funding
by the
big holders of fossil carbon reserves -- seeking to protect the future
valuation of those reserves, which has a large impact on the current
valuation of their carbon holdings. An eminently rational (if cynical)
motive, for these narrow carbon interests, but one that has sowed
confusion
and doubt, using the same "junk science" (and "left wing hijacked
science")
accusations that were perfected by Big Tobacco in the preceding
decades. It
worked then for Big Tobacco and this same strategy of sowing
falsehoods, is
working now for the big carbon interests.
Exactly. It's even been making some headway in the interests of
denying evolution, for God (as it were) knows what reason.
That is why I don't think politics is possible as long as prohibition
continue. It has been used as a sort of Trojan horse for bandits, and
they will sell you what they want.
Stopping prohibition will not be enough. We must separate politics
from money. We should vote on ideas and not humans. We should find a
way to prevent democracies against propaganda, if not corporatism.
The green should be ally with the antiprohibitionists. I do think that
"prohibition" is the deep reason of possible climate perturbation, and
economy.
Like the abandon of rationality in the "spiritual" is the deep reason
of why the non-sensical prohibition has seem conceivable today.
