It absolutely can be both.

For instance, Koch Industries is the second-largest privately owned company in the US. the Koch brothers personal net worth is a combined $70 Billion. They are huge players in the oil & coal industries (ie massive pollution) and the timber industry (ie cutting down fuckTons of trees). As they wish to continue making shitloads of money, they fund global warming denial professorships, politicians and 'think tanks' so they can continue raping the planet as they like.

Likewise, they also fund politicians and think tanks that advocate massive tax cuts for the very rich at the expense of everyone else. So who's left holding the bag for any taxes to pay for stuff? The rest of us.

There's all sorts of info out about these guys in particular. They're not at all sly. And they are FAR from the only ones.
Fair enough will have to look that up, All I know is there seems to be stranger weather patterns than 20 years ago from personal memory, but that could all be part of a cycle as far as I know.

Just been going over Zeitgeist 2010 and the addendum(b) one. They are making so many mistakes in their documentaries it is like Swiss cheese with all the holes, it doesn't take long to find sources to the contrary of what they believe or to use some simple logic to disprove their statements.
