So - lying helped? People that choose lies over truth that is grim enough should not wonder that it all backfired.
There is pollution we cause - talk about that.
There is deforestation - this is briefly mentioned.
There are huge dumps in the ocean - i never saw pictures of ugly waste islands on main news, only in internet.
We poison our self - but it drives the economy - keeps lots of jobs for middle class/poor and allows rich to become richer.
So best is to lie to child ,threaten him with boogie man so that he behaves better. Yes, very adult thing to do.
People are not stupid. Crowds that are created by mass lies are. Explain things to people, do not cry out slogans for crowds. Again - show the whole truth with what we do to our only home, it is at least as scary as those shaky lies.
Of course it is easier to lie to general public then to fight global corporations pumping up consumption rates.

I see we are not familiar with the concept of literary license to make a point ...
The NWO didn't lie to you, or if they did, how the hell would I know ... I nor anyone else can say with certainty that there is such a thing as the NWO. Heck no one can say with certainty if the earth is cooling or warming or to what degrees humans can make such impact. As far as I'm concerned all we're doing is sticking our finger in the air and making assumptions.
What I am trying to get across with the OP, is that IT DOESN'T MATTER!
All the things I outlined in the OP and the above post should have nothing to do with the bloody weather.
And ultimately this is what worries me, now that some folks have what they think is conclusive evidence of mmgw hoaxing, they will go back to exactly as they were ... if there is such a thing as the NWO, THAT would be their plan!
Unless of course you think that the email "leak" was a goof ... come on now.

Because you deplete your oceans of life, you deprive your forests of trees, you kill each other with pollutants and carcinogens, you treat your garden like a dump, you consume without regard to your future, you wipe out species for caprice, you're apathetic towards your home and your fellow man, you snub your nose at nature and fail to live in harmony with it, you fight wars over liquids, you poison and destroy everything you touch.
I had to LIE to you just to get you to do the right thing!

You and I sir, are on exactly the same page!
The metaphor/parable imho still stands, inasmuch as we're as a species falling past the second existential floor, and we keep telling ourselves "so far so good."

I must admit, that even I, myself am loosing hope....what good is all of my composting, organic gardening, and boycotting polluting causing products, when all of my neighbours pesticides, car exaust, and chemtrails are polluting everything I do????

I still think the hysteria (AGW or something else) does more harm than good since it muddies the waters. Collectively, there is increased doubt of what's real even if there is individual certainty.
In the parable, who knows if there really is a man milliseconds before impact. Maybe some don't think he's there. Maybe other's don't care.

Just ignore this guy, he's probably some troll in his underwear in his mothers basement dreaming/imagineing what a real female feels like when you touch them.

Before I sign off, let me share a parable with you ...
There was a man, a desperate man, who stood at the top of a skyscraper. He stood on the ledge and took stock of his life before taking one final leap to the heavens. People gathered on the street and looked up, people gathered in their offices and looked out their window. Finally, soul in hand, the man jumps. And as his figure made its way past every floor, the people looking at him falling past their window would say: "So far, so good!"
And as he passed the 2nd floor, people still said: "So far, so good!" And they were right ... for, even though he was but a split second from demise, he was just as alive at the 2nd floor as he was when he woke up that morning.
I am the NWO, and I am looking at you right now, and I can say: "So far, so good!"
And though you may think that all that matters is your present condition, you are truly falling past the 2nd floor.
