Behind the Climate-change Agenda
It was in the summer of 1992 that a motley assortment of leftist politicians, New Age mystics, and activists from environmentalist NGOs came together in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for what was billed as the “Earth Summit.” The event attracted a veritable Who’s Who of internationalist elites, including Canadian billionaire Maurice Strong and a delegation of U.S. senators of both parties, led by John Kerry and soon-to-be vice president Al Gore. At the time, the Rio gathering attracted as much attention for the bizarre antics of the fringier New Age elements in attendance as for its actual stated aims. But Strong, Gore, and company were completely serious then, and the progress the globalist environmental movement has made in the three decades since speaks volumes about their true intentions.
The original Earth Summit has given way to a series of glitzy annual UN-sponsored events known as United Nations Climate Change Conferences, the most recent of which was held in November 2022 at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Like the Rio event, each of these conferences is designed to serve a specific purpose: using the supposed global environmental catastrophe as a pretext for creating world government.
While this may seem hyperbolic, consider the success that the globalists have had in reaching their goals. In 1992, Al Gore wanted what he called a “Marshall Plan for the environment,” an international program that — like its post-World War II namesake — would transfer an immense amount of wealth from rich to poor countries. But while the original Marshall Plan was carried out in the name of rebuilding economies shattered by war, Gore wanted a permanent heavy transfer of foreign aid from developed to underdeveloped countries in the name of the global environment. Fast-forward to the 2022 climate conference, known informally as COP27, and voilà! We have just witnessed the creation of a permanent system of so-called loss and damage payments, a plan to coerce rich countries into donating hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to poor nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America as reparations for the damage allegedly done to the climate by industrialization. As we are all sick of hearing, climate change supposedly is created by all of the awful technologies that we used to believe had improved our standard of living. It turns out that fossil fuels must be banned, factories shuttered, and carbon footprints erased in order to return to the agrarian bliss that our pre-industrial ancestors enjoyed for the duration of their 30-year average lifespans.
