It is a cash grab. And it will charge the polluters.

What if there is no Conspiracy? What if there are no huddled 'in groups' plotting domination?

Either way...the planet is warming. Are we ready for the Environment Refugees? Are we ready for the sub Sahara to dry up into a burnt Kernel of Corn? Are we ready for the second Dust Bowl? The water around the coast to go up several meters? For the loss of the Boreal forest, and the opening of the Arctic Channel to shipping? To the expansion of the deserts and the intensifying of the Monsoons?

We no longer have the luxury of time. A fallen stone picks up velocity as it accelerates towards the canyon floor. Can Civilization survive the coming crucibles?
