Is This the UN’s “Final Solution?”

Posted by greg2213 on February 23, 2013

A peer reviewed paper laying out the things “out to be” according to the UN. Peer reviewed.

Well, with authors such as the infamous Paul Ehrlich I wonder how credible said peers are? Probably just a cheering section from the WWF or some UN groupie squad.

That’s really an embarrassing face-palm is that at least some of these guys are US “scientists,” though I doubt the word “top” applies in any way. I’m sure the NY Times would consider it a wonderful paper, as would the rest of the far-green nutjob crowd. More rational people might have to start keeping a closer eye on these people, to keep them from hurting themselves. And the rest of us.

Can’t see how this differs much from what Hilter, Stalin, and other luminaries wanted to do. Watermelons, indeed.

Top U.S. Scientists Call for Draconian UN Social Engineering

A controversial peer-reviewed paper set to be published next month, authored by a dozen prominent scientists and other experts, is coming under heavy criticism, primarily for calling on policymakers to adopt draconian measures to change social norms and values through coercion — essentially mass social engineering under the guise of environmentalism, whether the public wants it or not. The dubious plan outlined by the academics, however, is already being blasted by analysts as a scheme to erect an “eco-dictatorship under United Nations rule.”

Indeed, a draft version of the paper, scheduled to be published in the March 2013 edition of the American Institute of Biological Sciences’ journal BioScience, openly calls for defying public opinion and restructuring society under the guidance of UN “teams.” Entitled “Social Norms and Global Environmental Challenges: The Complex Interaction of Behaviors, Values, and Policy,” the controversial document is uncharacteristically honest in outlining its wild recommendations to transform human civilization.

“Substantial numbers of people will have to alter their existing behaviors to address this new class of global environmental problems,” claim the authors, who include Nobel Prize winners and even the infamous but largely discredited biologist and “population bomb” alarmist Paul Ehrlich (shown above). “Alternative approaches are needed when education and persuasion alone are insufficient.”

In simpler terms, the self-styled arbiters of proper environmental stewardship and human values are seeking to use the force of government — without the consent of the governed, if need be — to radically change people’s thoughts and behavior. If taxpayer-funded propaganda and brainwashing fail to convince enough of the public to submit, coercion in the form of new rules, regulations, fines, and other policies will be needed, the authors claim.

“Policy instruments such as penalties, regulations, and incentives may therefore be required to achieve significant behavior modification,” the paper claims matter-of-factly. In a table included within the document, some potential examples of the envisioned “policy instruments” are outlined, starting from taxpayer-funded propaganda — “active norms management: advertising, information, appeals,” as the authors put it — and moving on through taxes, fines, subsidies, and other “financial interventions.”

Finally, at the bottom of the table: laws and regulations demanding obedience at the barrel of a government gun. “Effective policies, then, are ones that induce both short-term changes in behavior and longer-term changes in social norms,” the paper continues, offering some examples of successful and failed efforts to transform human behavior and values using the coercive force of government. “Government is uniquely obligated to locate the common good and formulate its policies accordingly.”

Here’s the rest. The article includes lots of links to more info.

Monckton, Copenhagen II, Socialism, The End is Nigh

Posted by greg2213 on March 15, 2010

Looks like they’re at it again, not that this is in any way surprising. And the doomsayers complain of censorship. I wonder how long we’ll have to keep an eye on these people? Forever? Probably. There are always those who want power (and money) and global warming is such a delicious vehicle for achieving both.

Warmists at it again, Monckton warns. – The AGW crowd failed miserably at Copenhagen to establish a new global dictatorship on the back of phony and discredited ‘global warming’ but Lord Monckton calls our attention to a creepy closed door meeting of the UN Selectocracy in April at Bonn this year in advance of the public re-hash in Cancun, Mexico from November 29-December 10.

Lord Monckton warns of Climate Change Treaty resurrection in Bonn – Lord Monckton warns us of the impending Bonn Climate conference – another Copenhagen, but this time, probably more devious in its conception. Includes a transcript and links.

The entirety of the catastrophic warming concept (CWC) is about power and money. Government control over energy use, huge tax windfalls, endless grant monies, huge profits for the banks, huge profits for Gore and company, billions of dollars to enrich the elites, control over people’s lives (intoxicating,) 3rd world dictator enrichment act, putting the 1st world “in it’s place,” and so on. Lot’s of reasons to support the CWC and precious few not to, unless one believes in such antiquated concepts as truth, freedom, and similar nonsense.

No wonder people call global warming a scam. One hell of a wonderful scam if you’re on the receiving end of some of that incredible gravy train.

And for the wags reading this who might want to quibble with the above, we’re not talking about the .6C or so that the world might have warmed over the last hundred some odd years. We’re talking about Gore’s delusional version of reality. That’s the scam.
