You summed it pretty well acorn. I like to remember Terry McCranns marvellous passage about "renewables spruikers" -
"THE first and most important thing to understand about global warming true believers and the pushers of so-called "renewable energy" is that they lie.
They lie effortlessly, seamlessly, continuously and without the slightest sense of shame. They lie deliberately and carelessly and casually, and even when they don't realise they are lying. They lie without the slightest sense of self-awareness and with all the pomposity of stupidity aforethought."
