.....Right, but most global warming theorists acknowledge that our earth's history is one of fluctuating trends. Those scientists you call "stupid" comprise a large portion of the global scientific community. This community agrees that while heating trends have happened, this one is probably being sped up by our own practices.

We've only been observing the ozone for what? 2 decades? 3 decades? I'm sure it has been much bigger than this in the past. Scientists simply need funding and the more scare they manage to stir up the more eager people are to give it to them.

So? The Rockefellers and the DuPonts invested in bullshit eugenic research, but some good stuff actually came out of that Malthusian madness. Your conspiracy theory about an international plot of greedy scientists seems to be a bit of a stretch, however. :/

Yunno how we have global warming now? Well about 30 years ago they were heralding a new ice age from "global cooling"  . I kid you not.

The indicators of a warming problem might be the subject of this article, as well as the melting ice caps. I think the "freeze fear" you're mentioning has little to do with it. There are REAL substantive causes for alarm here....
