UN’s Sustainable conference in Rio finds AGW panic unsustainable Environmentalists throwing global warming under the bus
‘Environmental governance’: 100 countries back French proposal to create a ‘World Environment Organisation’ at UN’s Rio Earth summit – ‘It should be part of a rethink of the world’s economy, in which green issues and social questions should be integrated into the search for profit…’The new capitalism which emerges from the crisis has to be environmental, or it won’t be new…We are looking for a new kind of environmental governance, something more inclusive, in which all parties have a stake and it’s not just governments which have the right to speak’

UN IPCC’s Pachauri: There is a huge need to re-orient higher education for sustainable living – ‘We have to create a body of citizens who carry a global vision of the problems that humanity is facing today and the solution which work. At the core of this vision is the protection of this planet and preservation of our eco-system’
What Pachauri Means by ‘Sustainable’: ‘When the IPCC elected him chairman in 2002 they chose a political activist to lead what is supposed to be an impartial scientific body…for Pachauri the word sustainable is shorthand. What he’s really talking about is a campaign to eliminate world poverty. That’s an ambitious goal. Why would he not set his sights a little lower and attempt to eliminate poverty in his home country of India first?…he also believes that people in rich countries should be transferring more cash to people in poor countries. This amounts to a rather naked argument that organizations such as his own, operating in countries such as his, deserve funding. It suggests strongly that, prior to becoming head of the IPCC, Pachauri’s support for climate action didn’t rest on objective evidence. Rather, he regarded a global emissions treaty as a useful mechanism – as one more way in which his fantasy of introducing a new ethic to govern human behavior might be realized’
UN pitches Rio+20 talks as a departure from political strife over climate change? –’Don’t be fooled by this re-branding of the global governance movement…now emerging is an overt attempt by UN officials to shift away from the divisive politics of climate change to a broader debate on the green economy..’Climate change … has very strong resistance from sectors that are going to be substantially altered, like the oil industry’
‘Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi offers guests a choice of Deluxe Rooms and Luxury Rooms. All guestrooms are luxuriously appointed with central air conditioning, these rooms measure 304 square feet and feature luxuriously large bathrooms…Meanwhile, a UK newspaper quoted Pachauri, in late 2009, declaring: ‘Today we have reached the point where consumption and people’s desire to consume has grown out of proportion,’ said Pachauri. ‘The reality is that our lifestyles are unsustainable.’ According to that news report, Pachauri believes Hotel guests should have their electricity monitored; hefty aviation taxes should be introduced to deter people from flying; and iced water in restaurants should be curtailed… A few months prior Pachauri told a magazine: ‘First, we need to reorient our value systems. We need to start feeling responsible for our own individual carbon footprints…The thermostat for air conditioning or heating being kept at a level where you feel some degree of discomfort’ — So where is this leadership? Which part of modest consumption includes three-day extravaganzas at five-star hotels?
Small Pacific Island Nation of Palau seeks World Court opinion on climate change: ‘The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is being asked to give an opinion on whether all nations have the responsibility to ensure that emissions of greenhouse gases on their territories don’t harm other nations…President Johnson Toribiong of Palau warned that within a generation, rising seas threaten to swallow entire countries along with their unique histories, languages and cultures’
The Master Plan of Agenda 21: ‘Agenda 21 is a comprehensive master plan to reshape and control U.S. & lock us into clutches of UN under the innocuous phrase Sustainable Development. Advocates of Agenda 21 talk about the three E’s of Sustainable Development: Economy, Equity, and Environment. Equity means replacing our American constitutional system with central planning and ‘social justice,’ which is a code word for redistribution of wealth and the abolition of private property rights. Economy means shifting from a private enterprise system to government-private-corporation-partnerships. That would be a giant step toward Socialism. Environment means giving animals and plants more rights or at least equal rights with humans’
