As you view this video with Sir David Attenborough, do try and not laugh too hard. It is your fault there is global warming and now you will be depopulated.

Global Warming: How It All Began
byRichard Courtney
Imagined risk
All available evidence indicates that man-made global warming is a physical impossibility, but if the predicted warming could be induced it would probably provide net benefits. However, there is a widespread imagined risk of the warming and politicians are responding to it. Responses to imagined risk are often extreme and dangerous. [and don't forget profitable; or potentially profitable] For example, somebody with a fear of mice may see a mouse and as a response try to jump on a chair causing damage to the chair and injury to himself. There is no point in telling the injured person that mice are harmless because fear is irrational so cannot be overcome by rational argument.
Widespread imagined risk is to be expected as the end of the twentieth century (the end of the second millennium) approaches. Prophets of doom [global warming goes religion messianic; hybrid form of communistic ideology] have occurred when the end of each past century approached. They always proclaimed that “the end of the world is nigh” unless people changed their ways and accepted great hardship. So, history suggests that the global warming scare [depopulation] or something like it can be expected at this time.
