Holy crap you have a point! if they can control output of industries based on guilt then they can have total control!

Simple… some say CO2 emissions from man burning coal and oil (fossil fuel), rise and trap heat like a greenhouse, thus elevating the earths temp. The problem with that idea is that records show temperatures always rise before CO2 levels do. Hmmmm? Increased solar activity is your real culprit in earths warming, and thank God or nature for that. Mankind has flourished since increased solar activity has warmed the planet and thawed out the continents from the ice ages, making it far more conducive for human survival. However many scientists believe earth is heading back into a long term ice-age where we have simply had a small warming blip.

They want money and control, I say the skeptics are the last voices of freedom so keep up the fight.

The government is making sure that we don’t make this planet unbearably hot

Well if you look at it this way they want to add a carbon tax so they Finally found a way to tax the air. Amazing.

Clearly your second option is closer to the truth:

“… because the governments want to start total “GLOBAL control” of every aspect of the world’s economy?…

There are a couple of new books out about the “man-causes-global warming” hoax. They should be required reading for every FREE PERSON around the globe.

“Unstoppable Global Warming (every 1,500 years)”

to quote from the review
“This New York Times Best Seller is a data mine of scientific facts showing that global warming is not caused by human activity but by solar activity and cosmic radiation – and the cycle has been occurring for millions of years. The recent rise in temperature has created the most ideal climate for civilization that Earth has ever experienced. The next cycle will be colder and much less beneficial for mankind.”

and a new documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle”

that, believe it not, has even been aired on mainstream media (UK)

To quote from the review

“This documentary is a powerful antidote to Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth. Broadcast over Great Britain’s public service TV station early in 2007, it deconstructs the myth that Global Warming is caused by human activity. World-class scientists, many of whom are credentialed professors in their fields, state flatly that global warming is caused by solar activity, and that similar cycles have occurred many times throughout history. As sun-spot activity increases, Earth temperatures rise; and, as sun-spot activity wanes, they drop. Solar activity recently has been greater than normal, so higher Earth temperatures are the expected result. Because of solar activity, temperatures also have risen on other planets in our Solar System, a phenomenon that hardly can be blamed on humans. In previous years when industrialization was increasing at its greatest rate, temperatures actually went down.

The producers did an excellent job of laying out the scientific facts but they stopped short of answering the question WHY the myth of man-made global warming has been promoted. They show that there is an endless flow of tax dollars from governments to support global warming research; they show that many scientists follow the money knowing that, if they want funding, they must support the global warming myth; but they do not explain why this bias came to be.

If you understand the present reality of global collectivism in which all governments are expanding at warp speed toward total control over their citizens, this phenomenon will be understandable. You will recognize the ploy to frighten us with a long list of threats to personal security so as to condition us to accept expansion of government as reasonable and even necessary for protection. Governments have perfected the art of exaggerating and, in some cases, even encouraging the forces of crime, pornography, illicit drugs, terrorism, killer diseases, and – yes – environmental apocalypse. Why? Because all of this justifies an endless stream of laws that increase the power of those who rule, laws that are offered under the pretext of protecting us from harm. If the threat seems great enough, we are expected to meekly, even gratefully, accept the chains of our enslavement.

That is the part missing from this documentary. To be fair, however, it must be said that, if the producers had included this message, the program never would have been aired by a TV channel that is funded by the British government. In any event, the scientific truth now is available in DVD, and it will be increasingly difficult to ignore. 2 hours, including bonus segments.”

People must wake up and see the agenda behind the hoax. Because the sunspot activity has died down, the earth is now cooling.

Watch as the corrupt politicians, profiteers and mainstream media step up the propaganda campaign to convince the sheeple that the cooling is caused by the exactly the same cause as the warming.

The Kyoto protocol didn’t even affect the developing countries. A lot of luck you’ll have trying to control anything on a global level without factoring in China and India.

And anyway what would be the point of trying to control the global economy? You think the wealthy countries don’t realize that free market is the best strategy? Why would they purposely try to halt economic growth? Every government I’ve ever heard of wants only more wealth, not less.

the first option along with several other reasons

the second option is just some wild conspiracy theory that does not really make any sense
