One cannot remove the political aspects of the AGW debate becase politics is the entire point. It's all about control, and money. "Climate Change" is just the latest idea those who wish to limit your freedoms are using to accomplish their goals. Saving the planet is one of the farthest things from their minds. Telling you what to drive, where to work, what to eat, what light bulbs to use, what laundry detergent to use, where you can live, how big your house can be, etc, as well as taking a hefty chunk of your paycheck for the rest of your life. THAT is the goal, and it's a political goal. This entire debate IS political incentives. Those who wish to tell you how to live, and those who do not. It's nothing new. Mankind has been seeking power over others for all of time. What used to be accomplished by who had the biggest army or who could assassinate the king and set themselves up as ruler is now down through money, lobyying and public policy. The power hungry will always find ways to work the system. Since we live in a nation where laws and voting instead of swards or guns are used to rule the land, the power-hungry are constantly looking for new ways to use the law to set themselves up as leaders and controllers. Global Warming is a means to an end. This has nothing to do with "saving the planet" and it never has.
Here's a hint: if anyone ever tells you they need control in order to "help mankind" or "save the planet", they ARE lying to you.
