I sincerely hope that our civilization is prepared for a possible Carrington event - that could dwarf any global warming effects. Another point, not often admitted is the possible influence of the TBTJ banks - which largely control governments. They want to profit from running carbon tax/permit exchanges. JP Morgan already profits from running food stamp programs for the US government.
It is reported that Lloyd Blankfein now has Secret Service protection against 'aggressive' questioners/reporters. When the Occupy movement was in the headlines, Big Banks gave "spontaneous" donations to NYC police causes to keep protesting riffraff away from their private mansions.
