How's this:



"Global warming is the biggest politically driven hoax of the century."

You might try scesis onomaton:

We were duped, we were deceived, we were double crossed about the science!



Anadiplosis might fit the bill:

Seeking the next jackpot of grant money, scientists sold their credibility, a credibility sorely missed by this writer.



Maybe even anaphora:

To think that these same scientists once predicted a coming ice age; to think that we believed them then and we believe them now; to think that they are somehow above the temptations of common man; and to think that they are the product of our own insatiable desire for controversy is unthinkable.



How about an alliteration:

Ninnies never need nuance neo-religious nonsense since sloppy science suppresses salient suppositions.



Or maybe an anagram:

Belief

Always

Determines

Sought

Conclusions

Ignorance

Expresses

Nobody

Can

Escape



If none of these fit the bill, here's a link to a website with examples of various rhetorical devices which you can modify for your own use:

Hope this helps!

I would have thought that anyone smart enough to know that they need a "rhetorical device" would be able to make one up for themselves.

Perhaps, "Scientists have known for over a century that humans can have an effect on the climate. However, not until recently have we realized that our actions are not only effecting the climate, but that the changes we've brought about are potentially devastating". Or words to that effect.

just for fun i asked a question in polls and surveys and again in religion

who thought Global warming was a lie ,and who was religious ,



granted many people believed in God and also believed in climate change ,



but

the fact emerged that ALL of the people who denied Global warming ,who said it was a hoax ,were without any exceptions ,religious





FACT OR FICTION

many North Americans are used to fiction and they feel more comfortable with fairytales instead of the truth,



Many blindly believe that our fate is in Gods hands ,and their focus is on the beautifull heaven that awaits ,they are not to concerned with the world their children will inherrit



there may come a time that for the sake of our survival the two views will be seperated in to Enemies and friends of the planet



World leaders are not concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by An American statesman , that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.



scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change



and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political and economic reasons



HOWEVER CLIMATE CHANGE IS FACT FOR MILLIONS

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects



this text only covers some aspects of global warming mainly man made desertification



industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities ,is another story



there are natural cycles in the planets life

but mans existance has its effects,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms



in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result



in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,



,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and many of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.



collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,



each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss



and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

and there are 70 million more peole every year that have to eat and drink and wash



who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers

who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,

because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing



RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

if forrest are being exchanged for ashalt,concrete and desserts

what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us



We as humanity can behave in a less stressful manner as far as the Environment is concerned ,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, Source(s) Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has

come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,

his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into many languages and won the best book award in 2003

To everything in this world besides humans, fossil fuels are the equivalent of garbage dumps.
