Global Warming Goals Revealed- Will Media Report?

By Richard Newcomb | December 14, 2007 - 13:48 ET

NewsBuster Noel Sheppard reported on the global climate meetings in Bali, particularly the letter sent to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon by a number of prominent scientists stating that the global warming hysteria was overblown. Now comes an attempt by US Senator James Inhofe to warn about the true goals of this movement.

Inhofe is a tireless crusader for truth in advertising where the global warming hysteria crowd is concerned. On the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works site he maintains the Inhofe EPW blog, wherein he and his staff update the hysteria of the global warming crowd. Today, blogger Marc Morano has posted a news release on the website exposing the real goals of the global warming crowd. The question is- will the so-called mainstream media actually report on this? Based on past experience, I would guess not.

According to the press release, the real goal of the global warming crowd is the imposition of world taxes- especially on the United States. Morano quotes 'global tax advocate' Othmar Schwank, of an organization called the Mauch Consulting Group.

“Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs,” Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, told Inhofe EPW Press Blog following the panel discussion titled “A Global CO2 Tax.” Schwank is a consultant with the Switzerland based Mauch Consulting firm Schwank said at least “$10-$40 billion dollars per year” could be generated by the tax, and wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the “polluters pay principle.” The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to “contribute significantly more to this global fund,” Schwank explained. He also added, “It is very essential to tax coal.”

In other words, in the manner of hypocritical power grabbers the world over, the method in which they gain the purse strings is less important than the results of gaining control of said purse strings. Morano continues by the eyes by quoting yet another advocate, one Emma Brindal.

The environmental group Friends of the Earth, in attendance in Bali, also advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations on Wednesday. “A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,” said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.

So there we have it. I think a more honest name for Brindal's group would be Friends of Taxing the US to Give Money to the Unaccountable UN. The real goal of all these so-called climate change advocates is the taxation of rich nations so that they can transfer money to poor nations- socialism in action. This is highlighted by the concerns Inhofe's blog also states. Morano quotes several skeptics of global warming, such as Professor Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Writes Morano,

MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen warned about these types of carbon regulations earlier this year. "Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life," Lindzen said in March 2007. In addition, many critics have often charged that proposed tax and regulatory “solutions” were more important to the promoters of man-made climate fears than the accuracy of their science.

This is exactly right. The goal of the bureaucrats and activists is to give the UN real taxation powers, and then to tie the United States into this anti-American organization so that the rest of the world can take advantage of US innovations and power without that annoying necessity of consulting the American people. This is an attack on US sovereignty. Will the press take notice? They are certainly up in arms over the US government's attempts to defend American from Muslim terrorists. will they be as alarmed about the international attempt to use global warming to steal sovereignty from American voters? I wish I could be optimistic about the possibility that any member of the national press corps will actually write in a negative manner about this attempt. Instead of defending their country against unaccountable bureaucrats and 'activists', it seems to this writer that they are too busy trying to elect a President who will assist in the process of giving away US sovereignty.

Does the MRC or any other

Does the MRC or any other groups, collection of people, etc. have the pull and/or wherewithall to pressure the media outlets with information such as this or the letter that Noel referred to??  Is there a way to pool our power to get the MSM to "have" to report these things?  It would truly be a disaster if this information weren't able to reach the masses---the sheeple that know no better than to just listen to the talking heads on their idiot boxes.

I can and often do email them but to what ends I don't know.

It is almost as if the left has total control of the people through the TV like Jim Carrey did as the Riddler in Batman.....

I said this

On the other thread for the same subject. It's all and insuring their survival... at our expense.

No, they won't

Generally, the MSM will not report on the real science of "global warming", which has been easily accessible for a long time. There's too much money for them at stake. GE owns NBC outright, for example. GE has a lot of gain from keeping the "we are all going to die from man-made global warming" nonsense--it is developing "energy saving products" that will earn them billions if the "crisis" continues. You will never in your lifetime see NBC do an honest, scientifically sound report on "global warming". GE won't let them. Interestingly, Albert Gore has partnered with GE to push the warming "crisis".

At the very least, GE might consider full disclosure re their ownership of NBC before every "global warming" story shoved down ourr throats by NBC. They won't, of course. It would show their true colors.

 

Global Tax?

I don't doubt that a Global Tax it what these knuckleheads  are aiming for. But since China is now the world's largest contributer of CO2 will they be required to pay? Hmmm...

From the beginning, AGW has been about wealth redistribution

...as we've been saying at NB for some time.  The following statement is the most honest and the most frightening of all.

“A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,” said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.

Everything else...the scare stories, the phony science, the manipulated numbers, is propaganda....all designed to achieve the above goal.

I posted this on Noels

I posted this on Noels thread this morning. I find it rather bold of this group to come right out and say this. The fear level is down. They think that the global warming scam is just what they need, and they belive that they have brainwashed everyone into beliving in it.

My question is who gets the money? From past experience with the UN, it will not go to the folks it is intended for. Only to bank accounts...

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

It is all about taxes, redistribution, and carbon credits

It is all about taxes, redistribution, and carbon credits.

Has anyone in any of these high carbon emitting conferences even once proposed a solution, an honest workable solution????

I thought 'science' was finding solutions to problems. It is not science to run up a list of problems and then spit out bogus amounts of tax dollars needed for the "FIX".

 

Global control

 A global Tax is not what the AGW fanatics want Bubba, they want global control under a socialist government. Read the handwriting on the wall.  John Marshall one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices said it all too well. "The power to tax is the power to destroy", and that's exactly what these people want to do, destroy our system of democratic government and free enterprise and turn us all into slaves of a system that will dictate our every act "for our own good".

You won't hear this from the MSM, they are willing dupes. This has little to do with climate change, that's the smokescreen being used to create the "one world order" under the auspices of the U.N., the most worthless and corrupt organisation ever created since the mafia and the yakuza.   

 

   

Why should they

be required to pay, if the Kyoto Protocol does not apply to them? Never mind their rank as polluter! No, this has nothing to do about pollution, or emissions of "greenhouse" gases. This has only to do with extracting as many dollars as possible from the US and then redistributing them as the UN sees fit.

I'm really trying here!

I know it's Christmas, but I just cannot get too worked up over the plight of people living in mud huts or less in countries all over the world.  I'm not ashamed I was born in America. I'm not ashamed that my family is educated and comfortable.  These cultures have been around forever and have had every opportunity to improve themselves -- giving them money for carbon tax credit purchases or just giving them money period is stupid -- no it's worse than stupid -- it is designed to benefit not those people, it's designed to benefit the so-called elites of the world.  The best thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint here on earth is to commit suicide.  I suggest AG and those who believe this manmade GW tripe do that soon.

Gore's wettest of all wet

Gore's wettest of all wet dreams:

“A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources.”

So if the U.S. is the central carbon criminal, wouldn't the $10-40 billion dollars a year be better spent solving our filthy dependency on this "deadly" molecule instead of transferring it to a third party whose only solution is to plant a tree and stop having babies? That kind of dough could help overhaul our entire energy industry, satisfying the global warming advocates' supposed goal of saving our world from complete annihilation. By redistributing resources to Gore & Co., you're actually taking money away from resources that would otherwise help solve the problem. Is the irony lost on these folks? Have the priorities shifted a wee-bit from the original thesis?

A Fool-Proof Plan for Exacting Revenge on America

Step One: Invent a scientific theory based on shaky evidence and limited time, and vague enough that challengers can't quite nail the coffin.

Step Two: Conveniently claim that, based on this theory, American technology will singlehandedly destroy the entire planet.

Step Three: When the theory is proven false (Britain remains above water) move the goalpost and start over. No matter the weather - too much rain, not enough rain, bad hurricanes, lack of hurricanes, fires, flooding, meager crops, a boom of crops, animal population decline, animal population increase, etc etc - randomly say they all fit in your theory.

Step Four: Brainwash the media into going along and censor any skeptics.

Step Five: Take your case to the UN (who already hate America anyway) and get them to assist you in brainwashing the rest of the world.

Step Six: Tell America the only way to fix it is to punish them with extra taxes and sanctions.

 

The picture is coming into focus. How convenient this battle cry of the left blames America for the problem and insists America be punished to stop it. Michael Moore has officially taken over the planet.

Howdy cd... ...and that

Howdy cd...

...and that is why I want to include...

Step Seven: Vote conservative so we can defeat One through Six.

I would add...

Candance..yes.

I would add two more steps, based on the leftist techniques of the 1960's:

1. Destroy the character of anyone who questions the agit-props.

2. Scream as loudly was possible in the faces of those who disagree with the leftist "position" to keep critics off guard and drown out opposing opinions.

The leftists' say: "I don't care if you agree with my premises, but I demand that you agree with my conclusions."

Jacques Chirac

Wasn't it Jacques Chirac who stated, and I paraphrase, "Kyoto is the first step towards a world government."?

In Canada, our government system allows us to pretty much sign international agreements and then promptly ignore them as demonstrated by our signing of Kyoto followed by ZERO action.  My understanding is for you guys down south, your constitution forces congressional actions to be subservient to international agreements.  Perhaps one of the few mistakes made by your founding forefathers, for whom I have tremendous admiration.   I don't profess to be an expert.  Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. If true, that's ALL you need.  The words of an unelected, unaccountable body staffed largely by representatives of dictators and non-democratic countries, a.k.a. the UN, taking precedence over your elected bodies.   Any federally elected rep. who supports Kyoto should be immediately fired for being just plain stupid.

An aside.  There is a radio debate on Monday, Noon pacific.  Tim Ball vs. a Dr. Dressler.  You can find out more information about it at Lubos Motl's Reference Frame: http://motls.blogspot.com/

 *There are 2 types of politicians. Those who know AGW is a scam and those who are just stupid.

-

 your constitution forces congressional actions to be subservient to international agreements.

That is correct and it is scary.

The ignoring of treaties and the de-recognition of the anchor baby:  two (at least) items that Canada got right and the U.S. (so far) has gotten very wrong.

This is what the global warming thing is all about

We will never hear about it since the MSM is in the pockets of this idea. One world government is the common theme to this and Global Warming is the key to bringing everyone together on the premise of saving the world. Watching Good Morning America this morning one would think that the snowstorm that the Northeast just got was abnormal for December. Wait...it doesn't fit into the Global Warming theory!

You Fool

R22:

You fool.  It all fits into the theory.  Don't you realize!?!?!  It's why we now refer to it as "Climate Change".  This whole cooling of the earth over the last little while is really screwing up our plans to take your money.  Cold weather are an anamoly and heat waves are concrete proof.   Now stop thinking, pay your taxes and behave yourself. 

*There are 2 types of politicians. Those who know AGW is a scam and those who are just stupid.

Man causes the Earth to end ...

Clearly, global warming is
anthropogenic (man-made). It exists mainly in the human mind and is
manufactured from two sources – careless data acquisition and dubious
data processing. (John Brignell)

The purpose is word socialism, just listen to what the alarmists say and draw your own conclusions.

Want proof, force the alarmists to measure global warming today. Yes today. Their models, which is all they have to base the alarmism on, all predict that CO2 forced global warming is occurring today. In fact their own reports say that it has already caused 0,7 degrees C. Therefore you can measure it. We have satellites in orbit right now that can do this. The only problem is that when they do the measurements, the unique signature of CO2 forced global warming is not present in the data -- ooops, can't tell anyone about that. Go to the website ICECAP for the latest peer reviewed science on this matter.

The sealevel rise if faked, phony, made up science, that has been proved. The sea has risen 420 feet in the last 11,000 years, the last few feet fall into the category of margin of error.

Without a whole lot of ignorance on the part of the public, this sham would never be able to be told. Ignorance is the most expensive commodity society has.

Nail on the head

I'm convinced thats all this about. And global warming is not their only tool. See:

http://www.aim.org/aim_column/5940_0_3_0_C/   and

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316524,00.html

 

It's like a bunch of thieves running amok with no law around. I wonder why our leaders don't stop this? Are they taking a little piece of the action themselves? And the poor around the world won't see any of the loot. That's just the excuse used to take it.

Good luck with China and Russia paying this one...

How in Mao Tse Tsung's name are they going to enforce this one.... ? ?

A panel of UN participants on Thursday urged the adoption of a tax that would represent “a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.”    

Lets' see them Legally Binding the Chinese....you know, the DVD/CD Copyright law enforcing Chinese, and then the Russians would  fall right in line with this.  Right ? ? 

Did someone get some Cocaine from BHO for the Koyoto ?

It started with a cup of tea

and turned out to be 5 hour conversation with TIM BALL! Just two guys sitting at a table and talking.

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm

We
talked about everything I could think about from How are Ice core
sampling works( this one was an eye opener) and of course hours of
Global warming, Global Cooling, Global Dimming, The IPCC, the UN, The
collapse Cod fishing industry ,politics Kyoto and the BALI meeting in Indonesia and Modeling, averages Acid rain Freon CO2, Carbon Credit and some more.

This Guy his a Walking Library. What a great day it was!

He his what one could call a Professor!

I wish the same luck could happened to everyone.

Tim Thank you! Best 5 hours I ever had.

Same Experience

Acadia:

Had a similar experience.  Heard him speak and the 2 of afterwards ended up just chewing the fat for about 2 hours.  My impression was first and foremost, what an extremely nice man.  Knows a whole bunch of stuff about climate too.

See my post below for his debate on Monday.

*There are 2 types of politicians. Those who know AGW is a scam and those who are just stupid.

Excellent article

 

Acadia...I just read the Tim Ball article you referenced. Excellent! Thanks.
