What are all these schemes about?
What are the actual factors that enter into the propaganda equation?
Well, most of you know about this one:

Then, recently, I ran into this one:
Always, always, always... follow the @#&%^! money:
When the original research was published in 2001 [two geologists (Day and McGuire) hypothesised that during a future eruption, the western flank of the Cumbre Vieja (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja), with a mass of approximately 1.5 x1015 kg, could slide into the ocean. This could then potentially generate a giant wave which they termed a “megatsunami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami)” around 650–900 m high in the region of the islands], the Spanish press and scientists were heavily critical of the way it was reported. El País noted that the research group was entirely funded by an insurance company, something entirely ignored by the British press.
"... it is hypothetical and moreover improbable, and the model would not have passed the stage of an elegant theoretical exercise if the authors had not spent a week publically airing it before publishing it tomorrow in a specialised journal. Why so much interest in publicising it? The explanation perhaps lies in the fact that the research centre is funded by an insurance company, concerned with natural catastrophes ".
Thanks to Stegosaur (http://http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?31381-Heads-Up&p=324227&viewfull=1#post324227) for discovering the article the above is excerpted from: http://www.iberianature.com/material/megatsunami.html
Said article where I found I am not alone in my assessment of Cumbre Vieja:
Latest from BBC 29 October 2004
Tidal wave threat 'over-hyped'
The risk of a landslide in the Canary Islands causing a tidal wave (tsunami) able to devastate America's east coast is vastly overstated.
That is the view of marine geologists studying ancient landslides in the area.
In typical Canary Island landslides, chunks of land break off in bits, not in one dramatic plunge, they argue.
This contradicts previous warnings that an Isle of Man-sized chunk of land could fall off the island of La Palma into the sea, causing a mega-tsunami.

Earlier there was the case of a certain Mensur Omerbashich, PhD.; who desperately tried to fit a puny comet Elenin to his theory...
Then, the latest...
... that ozone stinky hole... well, if you manage to listen to the end, you will learn from Dr. Tim Ball how "science" works and what's the scam on that new ozone hole scare in a show with Bill Deagle; where Tim manages to hold onto his ground and train of thoughts in spite of Deagle's tirades:

If you did manage to listen to the end, then you may be able to understand this line I read a long while ago and which, for me, wrapped that ozone scam under "hoax, case closed!":
CFCs' patents life span were running out and cheap production and availiblity of such were then in sight...
Double whamy for these silent CFCs industry representatives!
On the other side of the coin, there are things such as "cold fusion"... wait a minute... what would happen to "peak oil?"
Cui bono?
There's nothing else! (IMO)
