political hacks
The "political hacks" are those who are trying to hedge off of the uncertainty by delaying general acceptance to maximize short term profits. That fat-stupid-bastard outgoing Exxon CEO for one.
It's clear that you mean people like Al Gore. He's been prostelitizing about this, as much as a southern senator can be expected to, for over a decade now. All you can see is the political eneminity and not him trying to function as a spokesperson for an issue. As much as Ayn Rand was a spokesperson for unmoderated collectivisim in the 20's. You wan't the free market dead? Keep supporting the axis of business as usual denialists till things really go to shit. Then the electorate will be begging for control, order, and firing squads.
