It’s all about the Cash

Cash income for government wastrels who have trouble balancing their books; cash profits for bankers, traders and speculators in the permit trading game; cash receipts for carbon credit harvesters;

cash subsidies for those manufacturing and installing alternative energy playthings; cash foreign aid in “climate compensation” for failed (“less developed”) states; cash windfalls for countries like Russia from selling their surplus emissions permits; cash investments from refugee industries seeking carbon tax asylum in places like China and India; cash research grants for sycophant academics; and cash welfare handouts for “lower income supplicants”. If you want to understand why something with such fragile scientific support gets such massive media and political support, just ask: “Cui bono?” – who benefits?
