Global Warming a Tool Towards Power

A section of page 230 from Mistress of the Pearl reads:

Its shift from the pursuit of science to the amassing of political power had broken the whole into fractious blocs.

How aptly does this describe our current collection of scientists? The truth is merely a matter of degrees, but it’s impossible to deny that certain members of this community utilize topics like “global warming” to further ingratiate themselves up the political power structure.

I’ve found it fascinating that science fiction authors are able to cleverly identify future possibilities in their writings.
