It has been suggested that carbon credits and other policies related to global warming have more to do with the re-distribution of wealth than any potential effect on the climate.

From a different angle, huge investments are being made by people who either have not heard about the catastrophic sea level rise that is coming or clearly don't believe it. Check out the man-made islands being build off Dubai that are just above the current sea level:

It is ironic that these massive projects are drawing foreign investment to yield tourist dollars for after the oil revenue has run out.

Are there that many rich fools, or is this simply evidence that global warming is indeed a scam intended to part you from your money?
