    Oh, sorry, I forgot to comment on the other.

    Why is it hard to see beyond the plitics? Simply because, beyond the politics, there ain't much "there" there. The data is incomplete, contradictory, the climate scientists generally admit such, and the political committees that run the scientific sessions then fabricate various positions that are specifically NOT HELD BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS in order to promote their agenda, which is ALWAYS to the detriment of the industrialized world and favors China and India.

    It's a Forrest Gump thing: Stupid is as stupid does.

    If a set of policies is inevitably seen as anti-economic development in westernized countries, then one should conclude that's the precise purpose.

    Also, one notes, that the data simply do not support the manmade global warming hysteria.
