Texans Victims of "the Greatest Scam in History."

Texans  are well known for  bragging about superlatives associated with the  state. They brag about the biggest  this or  the biggest  that.  They probably won't brag about the giant ( the sixth position on the Fortune Global 500) corrupt  Texas energy corporation named Enron (aka "the Crooked E" ) that  created what Weather  Channel founder John Coleman calls "the greatest scam in history." before filing  what at the time  was the largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history

Lawrence Solomon published an expose' in the May 30, 2009 Financial Post detailing how the Enron corporation paid scientists and environmental groups to falsely claim increases in carbon dioxide would increase global air temperature known as the   " greenhouse gas theory" .  https://ep.probeinternational.org/2009/05/30/enrons-other-secret/

In the nineties, Enron executives came up with a new get rich scheme.   Enron owed part of its early success to  sulphur dioxide emissions trading.       Basically emissions trading was established as a way for some companies to profit from  po lution while allowing other companies to continue to produce the chemicals that can cause acid rain.

Enron  saw the  potential for even greater profits from trading what would become known as "carbon credits".

Solomon states,  " The climate-change industry — the scientists, lawyers, consultants, lobbyists and, most importantly, the multinationals that work behind the scenes to cash in on the riches at stake — has emerged as the world’s largest industry. Virtually every resident in the developed world feels the bite of this industry..."  which increases the costs of various goods and services.

Enron was an early player  beginning early in the  administration of Bill Clinton to push for a carbon dioxide trading system.  Crooked politicians  such as Clinton and Joe Biden  readily supported Enron's scam.   The mainstream media automatically   repeated Enron's   claims without checking with other  scientists        

If  reporters  had checked  with honest   knowledgeable  scientists  they would have  learned  that  physicist R.W. Wood disproved this warming theory in 1909.   Philosophical magazine     , 1909, vol 17, p319-320. Cambridge UL shelfmark p340.1.c.95   http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/wood_rw.1909.html

If  reporters  had checked  with    scientists  like   Dr. Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf D. Tscheuschner   they would have  learned  that  sunlight heats material in a greenhouse which then conducts the heat to the air in the greenhouse.  The structure of the  greenhouse keeps the heated  air inside the greenhouse.  https://arxiv.org/abs/0707.1161
          
The false  and fraudulent claim about  global warming / climate change has  created an  artificial energy  shortage  that can let people  freeze  in dark buildings. while allowing power  companies to   over charge for energy.              
  
The State of Texas   should  try to find a   way   to  prosecute  those who  continue  to   push  "the Greatest Scam in History."
