Religion of Global Warming Exposed by one of their own.

[ThePainefulTruth]

Economic conservatives have been saying this for years, that Global Warming is a religion promoting a theocracy with the Socialist State as God and the objective to defeat capitalism. Blind faith strikes once again.

A UN climate change official admits the real reason behind the “global warming” issue:
At a news conference last week in Brussels, 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.

She’ll probably have to walk that one back...somehow. Anybody catch this on CNN, or NBC/CBS/ABC/NPR/NY Times/Washington Post...etc.

Quote-mining, nothing more

Figueres: First time the world economy is transformed intentionally

How easily you dismiss a smoking gun, quote mining indeed. I'm sure she doesn't speak for all the rank and file, but as the UN representative on global warming, she does speak for them on that issue, and for the World Establishment.

Economic conservatives have been saying this is what's been going on since the 70s, now one of them admits is. Next to health care and taxes, this gets the government's fingers into more pies than anything else.

That's what all anarchists, tyrants and their useful idiots who come to take freedom for granted, say.

I'm technically a Stalinist, but I suppose you're 50% right.

Of course, they hardly make a secret of this, I've never met a believer that could care less about the science of the problem, it's the 'solutions' they are interested in-

global cooling, warming, weirding- the problem can be anything, the solutions are the only thing that never changes: the transfer of wealth and rights from private to public hands. Many people genuinely believe this is for the best and any literally any means are justified by that end.

Capitalism should be destroyed. It's ruining humanity and this planet.

You know, I'm all for having a broader and more inclusive definition of religion, but this is really pushing it.

It is. But to be fair, while capitalism is inherently exploitative, particularly of non-human persons who are generally not given any rights, it is unregulated capitalism coupled with materialism/consumerism plus high levels of affluence and human overpopulation that is a beast.

Oh come on Quint, surely you could make it something like 'Globally, we should have warmer hearts everywhere,' idk.

True, but capitalism's existence always implies the existence of poverty.

Considering your quote was in reference to a large environmental plan you spun a conclusion out of a quote without context. The problem is this context provides their basis for wanting to dismantle the system rather than the goal only being the dismantlement of the system. Which was my point

However being bureaucrats means they are free to develop their own standards and methods without being obligated to follow an external one. They decides who gets a hearing and who doesn't. I doubt they hear much from those putting forward capitalism can be utilized to help development of cleaner energy sources.

I'm sure she doesn't speak for all the rank and file, but as the UN representative on global warming, she does speak for them on that issue, and for the World Establishment.

I pay little attention to what the UN says most of the time. It is just a bunch of unelected bureaucrats attempting dictating whatever they want with real no power base. The UN exists only because the US wants it to. When it is not longer in US interest it will collapse.

This is painful obvious to anyone that bothers to read climate change view points. This isn't new.

Next to health care and taxes, this gets the government's fingers into more pies than anything else.

Actually it is worse. Depending on how liberal, and weak, one's government is the level of influence and foreign pressure can force concessions none of us would agree to. Look up the Kyoto Accords in which China was given lower requirements while being the largest polluter over nations which produce very little but had higher requirements.

Fossil fuels are going to run out at some point. It would be stupid to wait until they do, then try to find a way to produce electricity and move our vehicles.

Capitalism has some ENORMOUS problems. But can we please keep it separate from climate change?

How? Environmental issues (including but not limited to climate change), are inexorably connected to human activities (including but not limited to economic behaviors that result from practicing economic ideologies). I don't see how we could come up with any workable solution for environmental issues while ignoring a major causal variable.

I believe you, because I know the pope hates capitalism, and would prefer to deal the cards of communism himself.

One minor problem: Figueres did not say what your article spun her words as saying, and which spin you swallowed uncritically as true.

How about regulations? We find other solutions from regulations.

We have many regulations like restricting asbestos and mercury. Isn't this a process that could satisfy your dilemma?
