Government, run by companies who are profiting from the stuff that makes AGW possible, have decreed that they have the absolute knowledge and we should all just stfu and let them do their thing.

Just like Hitler's cronies and Hirohito's and all the other despots throughout history told their citizens.

Anyone proposing they are humanist and who can't see the possible damage to humans from AGW is sorely mistaken.

If government followed Bronowski's advice it would have worked to avert AGW many years ago. It didn't then and it doesn't now.
