Folks need to understand that government is a means to an end. The gap between what people expect government to do and what it actually does is huge. No doubt there is a degree of benefit in terms of protection and reasonable laws. The cost is enormous because the opportunities for personal gain are are so plentiful. Keep your eyes on the growing enthusiasm for governments to band together and “fix” climate change. It matters not what initial intentions are. The phenomenon of global warning represents one of history’s biggest opportunities to profit from the private use of government to extract income and power out of the world’s population.  Any actual threat from climate change pales when compared to the damage that will be done by attempting to use government to solve the problem. Government is in fact a means to an end and will be used for that purpose, regardless of citizens expect.
