The Global Warming Conspiracy Theory refers to the idea put about by people that disbelieve global warming either isn't happening or is being over-hyped by a group of people who feel that they have some advantage to gain by promoting the possible evidence for global warming.

Contents

Many Theories.

As usual with many conspiracy theories there is not one theory but several contradictory ones. After all, telling what the truth is can be hard.

It's an attempt by the UN to take over the USA.

An individual called "Maurice Strong" is behind an attempt to use the United Nations and its Framework Convention on Global Climate Change to take over either the world or at least the USA.[1] He is apparently assisted in this by World Economic Forum, the Club of Rome, the Aspen Institute, the Fabian Society and communist china - he is however opposed by none other than The Dalai Lama. [2]

It's Jacques Chirac

It's an attempt by Jacques Chirac and the secret Bilderberg group to use the Kyoto accords to gain world control. [3]

It's the scientists

It's an attempt by scientists, politicians and environmentalists to gain world control. According to climatologist William M. Gray, they wish to find "a political cause that would enable them to 'organize, propagandize, force conformity and exercise political influence.'" Also Al Gore may has something to do with it.[4]

It's because scientists are denied funding.

It's all a hoax invented by all the world's climate scientists to get funding. The scientists have managed to fool the UN, the European Union, and most of the world.[5]

It's the environmentalists.

It's a plot by those nasty environmentalists who want to prevent Africa developing a carbon economy. Alternatively, it's a plot by environmentalists who want to promote a carbon economy in Africa while damaging the USA's industrial output. [6]

It's a plot by left wingers to destroy the industrialized world.

This one suggests that it's associated with the anti-globalisation movement and it's an attempt to cripple the world economy.[7]

It's an attempt to promote nuclear power.

It could be an attempt by Margaret Thatcher to make the people of the world accept non-carbon-dioxide-producing nuclear power.[8] It's not exactly clear what Phase 2 is, but Phase 3 seems to be "Profit".

As it becomes clear that politically correct power sources such as wind and ground based solar are unable to meet the needs of civilization expect this one to be uttered more often by the fossil fuel industry shrills.

It's the Weather Channel

Follow the money. Who profits from extreme weather? The elite cabal of the Weather Channel, of course. By manipulating the climate for better ratings, the CEO stands to make hundred thousands and possibly millions of dollars.
