The Goal of Environmental Activists is to Destroy Capitalism

The Nazis also used
“climate change” to pass the “Reich Nature Protection Law” in 1933 to increase
control over the German populace by requiring that decisions on how a person
could use his property be first approved by the Reich.
Mikhail Gorbachev, former
leader of the Soviet Union said in 1996: “The threat of environmental crisis
will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order.”
Christiana Figueres,
executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted
that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from
ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism. “This is the first time in
the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally,
within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that
has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she
said.
President Eisenhower,
in his 1961 farewell address, warned that if scientists became dependent on
federal financial support, scientists would color their science to increase the
flow of dollars by predicting future disaster.
When the International
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) original mission was limited to studying
human-caused global warming, expert scientists analyzing other factors like sun
spots and cloud cover were disregarded. Scientists with grants to support the
human caused global warming delusion neglected the fact that CO2 is less
than 5% of the earth’s greenhouse gas (water vapor makes up most of the rest)
and man-made CO2 is less than 5% of that 5%. That’s why models predicting
climate disasters have repeatedly failed despite best efforts of some researchers
to manipulate the data.
California, which pays the
highest energy costs, is reaping the fruits of these green scare stories.
Disastrous fires going on now are not the result of man’s emission of carbon
dioxide, but rather because the regulated utility, PG&E, was forced to
spend billions of dollars on intermittent, expensive, bird-killing solar and
wind energy instead of maintaining their power lines. They were prevented from
removing flammable brush and trees near power lines because environmental zealots
do not believe in any forest management.
The wealthy and
politically connected in San Francisco and Silicon valley were not subject to
power outages, but less fortunate Californians were left to scramble for
batteries and generator backups, sometimes for their oxygen machines.
California is the
canary in the coal mine for our entire nation, if politicians achieve
their goals of driving Western Civilization back to the dark ages to
subordinate humans to false nature-worship.
Carbon dioxide increases
historically lag temperature increases. “In 1985, ice cores extracted from
Greenland revealed temperatures and CO2 levels going back 150,000 years,”
writes author Joanne Nova. “Temperature and CO2 seemed locked together. It was
a turning point — the ‘greenhouse effect’ captured attention. But, in 1999 it
became clear that carbon dioxide rose and fell after temperatures did. By 2003,
we had better data showing the lag was 800 ± 200 years. CO2 was in the back
seat.”
After 60 years of looking the
other way, NASA has finally published data confirming the Milankovich theory revealing
that the planet’s climate is in fact, changing due to extraneous factors that
have absolutely nothing to do with human activity. Canada’s global warming
models have recently been outed for throwing out actual historical data and
substituting models of what the temperature “should have been,” and their
voters are angry with carbon taxes affecting their livelihoods.
As for “consensus” – It
plays no role in science. If folks understood how alarmists began to boast
of the 97% number of scientists who believe man plays a role in adjusting the
earths’s thermostat you would break our laughing. But besides the fact that
“consensus science” isn’t science, responsible scientists always question and
probe findings. In fact no science is ever settled. We never stop
searching for new and better data.
Einstein documented an
experiment to be conducted years after he developed his theory of relativity
that would either prove or disprove it, because even he was willing to
accept that he could be wrong. When a German newspaper article titled “100
Authors Against Einstein” appeared, the great man responded, that if he were
wrong⏤only
one scientist’s proof would be necessary, not 100.
Perhaps our problem was
best summed up by Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels who said “If you tell a lie big enough lie and keep
repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
