We
should all want to be wise and careful stewards of the beautiful planet
we
call home. But most of us realise that humans in general are not being
good stewards. We are wasteful with our natural resources and have
reduced biodiversity. Therefore, when we read about groups and
organisations calling for a 'green revolution' and a new relationship
between humanity and nature it is easy to agree with their ideas.
However, certain aspects of the modern green movement that
is permeating every segment of our society are not about protecting
the environment. You don’t have to dig very deep to discover
the true beliefs of the influential leaders who are using genuine
concerns about the environment to promote an agenda of fear and
control. Please carefully consider the implications of the opinions
that they so openly and freely express:

"The
common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to
unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of
global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit
the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and
it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be
overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

"We
need to get some broad based support,
to capture the public's
imagination...
So we have to offer up scary scenarios,
make
simplified, dramatic statements
and make little mention of any
doubts...
Each of us has to decide what the right balance
is
between being effective and being honest."
- Prof.
Stephen Schneider,
Stanford Professor of Climatology,
lead
author of many IPCC
reports
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We've
got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of
global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms
of
economic and environmental policy."
- Timothy
Wirth,
President of the UN Foundation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No
matter if the science of global warming is all phony...
climate
change provides the greatest opportunity to
bring about justice
and equality in the world."
- Christine
Stewart,
former Canadian Minister of the
Environment~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The
data doesn't matter. We're not basing our recommendations
on the
data. We're basing them on the climate models.”
- Prof.
Chris Folland,

Research~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The
models are convenient fictions
that provide something very
useful.”
- Dr David Frame,

University
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I
believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the
facts
on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the
audience."

"It
doesn't matter what is true,
it only matters what people believe
