Quote by Paul Watson, a founder of Greenpeace:"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters
what people believe is true."
Quote
by Jim Sibbison, former public relations official for the Environmental
Protection Agency: "We
routinely wrote scare stories...Our press reports were more or less true...We
were out to whip the public into a frenzy about the environment."
Quote
by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: "We redistribute de facto
the world's wealth by climate policy...Basically it's a big mistake to discuss
climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization...One has to
free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is
environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy
anymore."
Quote
by Club of Rome: "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 thus the
“real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common
motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It
does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the
purpose."
Quote
by emeritus professor Daniel Botkin: "The only way to get our society to truly change is to
frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe."
Quote by Al Gore, former U.S. vice
president, and large CO2 producer: "I believe it is appropriate to have an
over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a
predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and
how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis."
Quote by Stephen Schneider, Stanford
Univ., environmentalist: "That,
of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up
scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention
of any doubts we might have."
Quote by Sir John Houghton, pompous lead editor of
first three IPCC reports: “If we want a good
environmental policy in the future we’ll have to have a disaster.”
Quote from Monika Kopacz, atmospheric scientist: "It is no secret that a lot of climate-change research is
subject to opinion, that climate models sometimes disagree even on the signs of
the future changes (e.g. drier vs. wetter future climate). The problem is, only
sensational exaggeration makes the kind of story that will get politicians’ —
and readers’ — attention. So, yes, climate scientists might exaggerate, but in
today’s world, this is the only way to assure any political action and thus
more federal financing to reduce the scientific uncertainty."
Quote by Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister: “No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral
environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to
bring about justice and equality in the world.”
Quote by Maurice Strong, a billionaire elitist,
primary power behind UN throne, and large CO2 producer: “Isn't
the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?”
Quote by Mikhail Gorbachev, communist and
former leader of U.S.S.R.: "The emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization and
the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global community
will inevitably have multiple political consequences. Perhaps the most
important of them will be a gradual change in the status of the United Nations.
Inevitably, it must assume some aspects of a world government."
Quote by Gordon Brown, former British
prime minister: "A
New World Order is required to deal with the Climate Change crisis."
Quote by UN's Commission on Global
Governance: "The
concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle
of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and
reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation."
Quote by René Dubos, French scientist,
environmentalist, author of the maxim "Think globally, act locally": "Our
salvation depends upon our ability to create a religion of nature."
Quote by Paul Ehrlich, professor,
Stanford University: “Giving society cheap, abundant energy
would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.”
Quote by Club of Rome: "The
Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man."
Quote by David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford
University: “Rather than seeing models as describing literal
truth, we ought to see them as convenient fictions which try to provide
something useful.”
