Keep in mind also that when a scientist presents new findings and conclusions, that his/her work is subject to testing and validation by other scientists in that field.

    You can't say the same about a claim about a god and/or a religious belief.
    But if laypeople just take the word of a few scientists without looking into the facts themselves, it becomes the logical fallacy of appealing to authority, making it just as susceptible to abuse as religion.

    And not even all scientists agree on agw.

    So the envirohoax, depends on cherry-picking, and the logical fallacy of appealing to authority.

    Yep. In fact, to assert the world isn't run by elite families in the finance and war industry seems stupid to me.

    The conspiracy theories are actually most accurate. History does not unfold in random direction. Governments control everything that happens in their nation for the sake of security, and seek to do the same with rival nations. The 9/11 attack was an inside job. The war had been planned years in advance. They needed an excuse. And just think. Bush got to finish what daddy started. All too fitting. It was not random, but planned.
