I can:

1. Use of the scam to demonize Conservatives.

2. Gives Algore yet another "cause" to run for President on, that will impress those he knows are gullible enough to believe thousands of years of Earth's and Mars's climate changes suddenly don't matter.

3. Another foothold Socialists have to try forcing free societies to give up their freedom and wealth in impowering the Socialist/Liberal elitist manipulators.

4. Another in a long list of excuses to keep taxing defenseless wage-earners in order to continue and increase the flow of funding to the Liberal hoaxers.

5. To prevent poor nations like Africa from developing usable and industrial strength power to pull themselves out of the clutches of starvation, proving capitalism the economic savior. Starving people are good for Liberal/Socialist PR as they can continue to blame it on Conservatives and productive societies.

The main "gain" for liberals is the global warming scam gives them another way of demonizing the U.S., the country Liberals always want to punish for being productive and successful in proving European socialism and oppressive dictatorships to be causing the economic and moral atrophy they have always produced.

If you really care about this (and I'm quite sure you don't), check out this BBC TV production that will never see daylite through the Democrat Campaign media in the US. It has testimony from many scholars (whose names are listed by the scammers in their "consensus") that clearly state their scientific opposition and evidence proving the scam. They are such right-wing extremists as the co-founder of Greenpeace.

Then take a look at the actual scientific challenges to the un-supported scam by the UN's IPCC:

The Global Warming Scam is referred to as a "religion" because it's followers believe it by faith alone.................there's ZERO evidence.

Does this post help fill your "thinking" void?
