Nice try merkyl but according to the UNFCCCC site concerning the Kyoto treaty:

As of 23 October 2007, 175 countries and 1 regional economic integration organization (the EEC)
have deposited instruments of ratification, accession, approval or acceptance.

175 countries are in on the conspiracy.

Do you think most of those politicians even bothered to review the science before they took action? It's not a conspiracy. It's more like a confederacy of dunces.

And Bjorn Lomborg is a Danish economist who believes humans are causing global climate change. But he also argues that the "cures" proposed by the IPCC and others are a colossal waste of resources that could be used much more efficiently to make great strides against AIDS, malaria and other ills of the human race. Basically, Lomborg's argument goes that if we were to follow the prescription being laid out, we would expend vast amounts of capital and resources, but see little to no real gains.

So, what kind of half-assed point are you trying to make, Strange Fucktard?

I mean what does it really really really matter if the earth warms up and all of humanity is destroyed?

The globe may warm enough that humans may go extinct (and I think it would be rather apropos that we would go extinct by our own hand), but more likely we will adapt - like we have been doing for thousands of years. However, to believe that we will warm the planet enough to wipe out all life is arrogant and egocentric to the extreme. If you look at the planet's history on a geological scale, it has gone through very long periods (from both a geological as well as human perspective) when it was much, much warmer than what even the greatest alarmists are predicting will happen with the current global warming. And during those periods life not only survived, it thrived.
