Joseph Bast, The Heartland Institute - former Pres., CEO - summarizes the agenda of the Climate Scam

"Back in 1993, we identified [global warming] as the mother of all environmental scare tactics… Groups on the left understood that if you can control energy, you can control human beings."

"If, in fact, the combustion of fossil fuels is having a dangerous impact on climate, you have a recipe for controlling all use of fossil fuels—that’s 80-90% of all the energy. If you can control that and shut it down, you can shut down the engines of the world."

"And that is no less than what the environmental movement wants to do, and has been trying to do now going on 30 years [with] the global warming debate."
