No justification? You are telling me that no environmentalists or agencies are trying to whip the population of the world up in a mass hysteria?
No I'm not telling you that "no environmentalists or agencies are trying to whip the population of the world up in a mass hysteria", I'm trying to tell you that your assertion that there are "certain groups behind them who are trying to spread mass fear and panic to the public" is nonsense and I've yet to see any justification for the implication that there's some sort of world-wide conspiracy going on.

Hell, if you want a conspiracy, you could do worse than look at the US oil and motor manufacturing industries who are more intent on ensuring their profits and getting Sport Utility eXcesses classfied as trucks to avoid environmental emission controls and making certain that Bush doesn't sign up to annoying things like the Kyoto protocol...

And, again, I ask you, what will you do if it *does* happen? Say "oh, sorry, I didn't know that was going to happen, so I didn't worry about doing anything to stop polluting the planet..."?

And, please, this is *nothing* like terrorist attacks

Rather than getting the facts then informing people sensibly, the are trying to scare everyone with what they admit is guess work, and then trying to find the evidence to support it.
And rather than implying there's some sort of global conspiracy and dismissing any comment about the subject, why can't you accept the fact that *ARE* no absolute facts about this, but there are things to be concerned about and the time to start doing something about it is now!
