1/ Everything that is happening is linked back to the #ClimateCrisis I have been a lifelong #environmentalist & have a #carbonfootprint that would be envy of 99% of greens - I don't subscribe to the Climate Cult. This is why
2/ I was a 70's baby. My momma a farmers daughter. We were well versed in being good stewards of the earth. From the time I was young we heard doomsday predictions of the damage humans create. Articles like this weren't uncommon.
#PaulErlich was a climate cult guru and wasn't shy about promoting solutions like forced sterilization to inhibit population growth. As you can see we are still chugging along and that famine never happened.
4/ Ehrlich influenced an entire generation of people...with predictions like this:
* 100s of millions would starve to death in the 70s
* India was doomed and
* England would cease to exist by the year 2000
5/ Ehrlich was also a proponent of:
* mass sterilization
* sex-selective #abortion & infanticide
* he preferred voluntary methods but considered other ways if necessary
* He likened having kids to throwing as much garbage into your neighbor’s backyard as You want
7/ Ehrlich works for the Millenium Alliance for "Humanity" and Biosphere and is a member of the #Davos elite that believe:
* The population should be less than 2 billion
* Wealth needs to be redistributed https://mahb.stanford.edu/ 
8/ Isn't it strange that someone who was 100% wrong in his predictions is still considered an expert in his field? How can humanitarians ally themselves with a man who actively discussed infanticide & forced sterilization. It's not so strange and I will tell you why tomorrow.
9/ But anyone who recommends they put sterilizing agents in your food and drinking water isn't out for your best interests.

This is not conspiracy this is well documented and was even accepted by newspapers in the 70s #PopulationControl #Paulehrlich #eugenics
10/ The 60's and 70's were a period of great importance for the Climate Change Cult. The press fear mongering and institutions that we know today were established. Interestingly, the theories revolved around global cooling NOT global warming
https://nationalcenter.org/Time-Ice-Age-06-24-1974-Sm.jpg
11/ for some scientists & meteorologists an #iceage was coming - which was paired with Ehrlich's forcast of over population and famine.

Climate cultists try to debunk this period by claiming it was only the media running with fear mongering but this isn't true.
13/
"In man’s quest to utilize global resources, to produce an adequate supply of food, global climatic change constitutes a first order environmental hazard"

Representing a shift from natural climate change to the human role. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/178/4057/190
16/ ....and the National Climate Program & Policy Board....
.....switching the narrative from global cooling to warming.

Using NASA satellites to measure the Sun’s output since 1978

17/ Part (3)

During this same period (1974) Henry Kissinger made a speech to the UN General Assembly lobbying the UN to create a World Meteorological Association.

Kissinger also said
“World population needs to be decreased by 50%”.

https://jstor.org/stable/2706310?seq=1
18/ Kissinger was a member of the Club of Rome which was estab by Aurelio Peccei, 1968.

You will notice that all of this unfolded around the same time as Ehrlich's book.

In 1972 they put out a paper called Limits to Growth which in turn became a book https://clubofrome.org/ 
23/ The original version of this book had 286 pages. Others that are circulating have less. In part 4 I will go back to Kissinger again and the 70's.

I just wanted to give some background about the foundation of the Climate Cult movement.
24/ Part 4 after taking a diversion I'm going back to the 1970s. Back when Kissinger was a young man. Before he became - by his own words a useless eater.

Yes this guy said "The elderly are useless eaters” in his book The Final Days. https://images.app.goo.gl/2pxxvtngjYmoerxy9
25/ In 1975, using the National Security Study Memorandum 200 I mentioned above as a template...Kissinger ushered in the National Security Decision Memorandum 314, which made NSSM 200 the official (covert) U.S. policy on population.
https://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/library/document/0310/nsdm314.pdf
26/ 11/26/75 Pres. Ford endorsed NSDM 314 & the following: "There is a major risk of severe damage [caused by continued rapid population growth] to world economic, political & ecological systems & as these systems begin to fail, to our humanitarian values" https://images.app.goo.gl/FvfQN8XtnWmF5qkb8
27/ "The World Population Plan of Action & the resolutions adopted by consensus of 137 nations @ the 8/74 UN Population Conference, though not ideal, provide an excellent framework for developing a worldwide system of population/family planning programs"
http://shorturl.at/bcjoz 
28/ Goals: "After suitable preparation in the U.S., announce a U.S. goal to maintain our present national average fertility no higher than replacement level and attain stability by 2000 [Executive Summary, page 19]"
29/ Only nominal attention is [currently] given to population education or sex education in schools
[Page 158]...U.S. agencies stress the importance of education of the next generation of parents, starting in elementary schools, toward a two-child family ideal.
30/ So what does this have to do with #climatechange? Everything. It goes right back to Ehrlich's book the population bomb and the wealthy governing powers covertly trying to change the face of the world through any means necessary. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-15449959
31/ Only the goal posts have pivoted. Ehrlich today:
"I would focus on there being too many rich people. It's crystal clear that we can't support seven billion people in the style of the wealthier Americans." https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/02/17/eugenics-is-trending-thats-problem/
32/ There's a lot to unpack during this time. In 1970 NYC legalized abortion & Roe v Wade was passed in '73 Whatever your beliefs this push was likely aided by people pushing population control This is why I said it's all connected #abortion #climatechange http://shorturl.at/bJLVZ 
33/ Part 5 As I mentioned earlier the original stance on climate change was global cooling. This changed in 1976 when the World Meteorological Org published this paper

*downplaying cooling/emphasize short term fluctuations that may be manmade
https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=6309#.XxrnK5NKhE4
34/ The 1979 World Climate Conference discussed the carbon dioxide warming threat & appealed to all nations to prevent manmade climate change. This however wasn't addressed by researchers.

As you can see there was a quick shift from cooling to warming.
https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=6319#.Xxrvc5NKhE4
35/ No one really seemed to question the super fast turn around from global cooling to warming. This article is from July 1976

But one thing held fast no matter which approach they took. Population control.
Here are some example through 1979
1974
1974 Guardian Climate Cooling
1979 Global Cooling Calgary Herald.
36/ Nothing reveals the reality of climate "science" more than Steven Schneider's quote from this clip from the 1978 episode "The Coming Ice Age" when asked about using a nuclear energy to loosen the polar ice caps he said this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=DsdWTBNyvX0&feature=emb_logo
DR. STEPHEN SCHNEIDER: Can we do these things? Yes. But will they make things better? I'm not sure. We can't predict with any certainty what's happening to our own climatic future. How can we come along and intervene then in that ignorance?
37/ part 6
1979 the US research council put out the the Charney report. Charney sensitivity (the cornerstone of IPCC) states that if the CO2 level doubles, the earth will, on average, warm between +1.5°C and +4.5°C.
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~sme/CSC2602/CharneyReportPresentation_Pif.pdf
38/
By the early 80's global warming was the accepted model & acid rain was the next climate panic. Here's a 1983 snippet about acid rain
40/
The theory of global warming really took off in the 80's. In 1986, NASA’s top climate scientist James Hansen (Goddard Institute of Space Studies) reported the United States would heat up 4-6 degrees by 2020.
41/

The thing is 3 years later in 1989 NOAA failed to show this warming trend over a period of 100 years - these findings were published in Geophysical Research Letters
42/

I'm providing this information to show there is always another side to the story. I'm a supporter of science - but science by nature must be free & unencumbered by political/financial influence (as much as possible) & this is NOT what we are seeing with the Climate cult.
43/ the 80's continued: Howard T. Odum, an ecologist & a member of the Club of Rome, was quoted in Fusion magazine, as saying: "It is necessary that the United States cut its population by two-thirds within the next 50 years." https://peoplepill.com/people/howard-t-odum/
44/ 1985: First major international conference was held in Villach, Austria, warning that greenhouse gases will “in the first half of the next century, cause a rise of global mean temperature which is greater than any in man’s history.” https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18825210-600-histories-the-week-the-climate-changed/
Part 7
46/ there were and are many high profile people advocating for population control/globalization to combat climate change. One such person is David Rockefeller (population council founded by his father John Rockefeller). Here is a speech from 1994
The irony is John D. Rockefeller was an oil industry monopolist (standard oil) and the first billionaire in American history....whose ruthless business practices led to the passing of the Sherman Anti-trust act but I will leave this for another day. https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=51
47/ Some even believe we're part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the US, characterizing my family & me as 'internationalists' & of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political & economic structure 1 world, if you will
48/ In 1992 Agenda 21 was introduced at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Rockefeller family was a substantial benefactor for Agenda 21. More on this tomorrow.

https://archive.org/details/agenda21earthsum00unit/page/n9/mode/2up
49/
Agenda 21 is:
"a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment."
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/outcomedocuments/agenda21#:~:text=Agenda%2021%20is%20a%20comprehensive,human%20impacts%20on%20the%20environment.
50/ Agenda 21 promotes: “smart growth,” by handing out
financial incentives for people to leave rural areas for cities to save the planet.

Some of my least favourite people are involved in this. George HW Bush signed it at the Earth Summit 1992
https://www.c-span.org/video/?26539-1/remarks-departure-rio-earth-summit
51/
The problem is Congress did not vote on adopting Agenda 21 yet Presidents:

* Obama
* Clinton
* Bush have

signed Executive Orders slowly implementing portions of it - and avoiding scrutiny bc of its "non-binding nature"

https://www.archives.gov/files/federal-register/executive-orders/pdf/12852.pdf
52/

Watch the term sustainable development as this is used to soften the blow.

The ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) founded in 1990 and located in Bonn, Germany helps push through elements of this agenda

https://www.iclei.org/ 
53/

ICLEI has a network of more than 1,750 local/regional governments committed to sustainable urban development.

They also have agreements in place with over 600 cities in the US. Involving mayors & city planners in implementing land use as recommended in Agenda 21.
So what is unsustainable?

* private property, single family homes
* irrigation
* pesticides
* commercial fertilizer
* livestock production
* most meat consumption
* privately owned vehicles
* fossil fuels for power
* Etc
55/
Advisors like J. Gary Lawrence (Clinton’s Council on Sustainable Development) stated that UN references were to be avoided using:
* sustainable communities
* Green jobs/codes
* Regional planning
* Conservation easements
* Growth management
* Sustainable Farming
56/
J. Gary Lawrence said participating in a UN advocated planning process would bring out "conspiracy theorists" (critical thinkers) that fear their freedom would be stripped. So he recommended calling it something else like smart growth. https://clintonwhitehouse2.archives.gov/PCSD/Overview/index.html#:~:text=The%20President's%20Council%20on%20Sustainable,PCSD%20was%20administered%20as%20a
57/
I started Unspin to draw attention to how we are manipulated with words and trends

It's important for all of us to separate our OWN beliefs, likes & dislikes from the ones foisted on us by politicians & spin masters

The Climate Cult is one of the best ex. of this in action
58/
Hey #BillClintonIsAPedo is trending. Mr Clinton was a big player in the current Climate Change Cult

Here's a clip of Clinton & Gore introducing their Climate Change Action Plan in 1993 (which created the Presidents Council of Sustainable Development)
59/ Clinton doesn't view the general population as particularly necessary "Even w. imperfect scientific knowledge (you can say that again) at some point the impulse to give people something to do would have to be reconciled w the obligation to preserve the planet we all share"
60/ "Because most of our recommendations do not require legislation, something that will doubtless please the congress with all the burdens they have already on their plate, we can take action on our plan beginning today"

This should have raised red flags
61/ The Presidents Council for Sustainable Development was established at the same time and was meant to “harmonize” US policy/UN directives as outlined in Agenda 21...without pesky legislation.

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-12852-presidents-council-sustainable-development
62/ Check out Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet written in 1993.

This gives you an idea of what the thought process is. These people tell you what they are doing if you are willing to listen.
https://www.amazon.com/Agenda-21-Summit-Strategy-Planet/dp/093575511X
“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by EVERY person on Earth
it calls for specific changes in the activities of ALL people
 Effective execution of Agenda 21 will REQUIRE a profound reorientation of ALL humans"
63/ “Land
cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals & subject to the pressures & inefficiencies of the market."

1976 UN’s Habitat I Conference Report
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_I 
64/ from that same report

"Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.”

Sound familiar? That's because everything that is happening right now is connected.
65/ Look at the "goals" of the #BLM "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children" https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/
66/ The climate change cult is connected to the #BLM & "Social Justice" NGOs. The goal is to open the boarders, destroy the traditional family, eradicate religion - stripping us of property rights to implement a global green feudal system where the state has control of your kids.
67/ Let's move forward with the 90's. In 1993 Clinton formed the President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) - 25 leaders spearheaded 8 "task forces" connected to sustainable development
https://clintonwhitehouse2.archives.gov/PCSD/ 
68/ Check out the Population and Consumption Task Force:
"The Task Force's emphasis on preventing unintended pregnancies reflects the strongly-held and unchallenged conviction that voluntarism lies at the heart of all American family planning programs."
https://clintonwhitehouse3.archives.gov/PCSD/Publications/TF_Reports/pop-intr.html
69/ "reducing current immigration levels is a necessary part of working toward sustainability..The Task Force calls on the immigration component...to make a fair contribution to overall efforts to stabilize U.S. population as work progresses simultaneously to reduce fertility.
70/ Disturbing stuff. So you can connect the dots. In light of this document support for:

* Abortion (my body my choice) & planned parenthood
* Women choosing not to have kids (bc of climate alarmism, feminism etc)

Makes perfect sense (not an opinion just an observation)
You also have to ask your self what they meant by:

"as work progresses simultaneously to reduce fertility"

It appears they are talking about abortion & voluntary family planning BUT you can't ignore the fact using agents in our food was discussed in the 70's.
72/ While all of this was going on the belief that global warming was the culprit had gained support in the scientific community That said, there were skeptics such as Dr. Richard Linzen who objected to the predetermined conclusions of computer modelling. https://rb.gy/cpszkf 
73/ He published a paper '92 pointing out that the models ignored cooling factors such as water vapor, cloud cover, & oceans. He also questioned why global temps rose in the '20s & '30s when CO2 emissions were lower & fell in '40's & 70's when emissions were steeply rising
75/ In '96 the IPCC published the 2nd Assessment Report attempted to consolidate consensus by 1) introducing verbiage in the summary that wasn't in a draft report reviewed by authors and 2) deleting 15 key statements in the draft
https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/06/2nd-assessment-en.pdf
76/ Frederick Seitz said he "never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer review process...to deceive policymakers & the public into believing that scientific evidence shows that human activities are causing global warming." WSJ
https://rb.gy/ofjzrh 
He was the former head of National Academy of Sciences
77/ The person responsible for the bait and switch changes was Benjamin D. Santer. Sadly the furor over this was quickly usurped by yet another conference. https://images.app.goo.gl/hPJK2rDbjM2BGq9F9
78/ in '97 10,000 people attend the UNFCCC conference in Kyoto, Japan & more than 150 nations adopt the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC....based on the scientific consensus regarding humanity's role in global warming
https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-kyoto-protocol/what-is-the-kyoto-protocol/kyoto-protocol-targets-for-the-first-commitment-period
79/ so what ever happened to the ever present Paul Erhlich? Did he leave the room in shame bc his global cooling ideas failed?

Nope (as we know bc he is still respected)

He simply said we need to get rid of rich people (ahem like him?)
80/ and he didn't stop there. Nope. He went on to criticize the "moronic" greenhouse stance of his peers. đŸ€Ł

He's a charmer that one.
81/ Everyone should watch Dr. David Demming's statement to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works 12/6/06...

...as it applies to the events that took place in 1995 when he was asked to remove the medieval warming period
82/ There was a long standing belief in the scientific community that between c. 950-1250 there was a Medieval Warm Period (much warmer than today). It appears in the IPCC First Assessment report....and it appears they have removed the page. https://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/far/wg_I/ipcc_far_wg_I_full_report.pdf
83/ This is the chart from the IPCC First Assessment report as you can see the Medieval warming period is there...and instead of showing corrections for it...they chose to eliminate it altogether to better fit their narrative.
84/ 4/98 Ph.D., Michael Mann (virtually unknown) published an article that eliminated the Medieval Warm Period & the 4 century long "Little Ice Age." Producing the "hockey stick" graph attributing 50 years of warming to humans.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/shared/articles/mbh98.pdf
85/ Sadly this sort of manipulation is commonplace in the Climate Cult movement. My belief is the UN is far less concerned about real scientific findings than they are about population control.

Here is a memo from 2009 "correcting" the 1940's warming blip...
86/ This thread is far less about the accuracy of the data or the REAL science of climate change than it is about the lack of integrity of the people & organizations telling you the science is decided.

Science is never decided & unfortunately the climate cult has an agenda.
87/ In 1999 Hansen's US temperature date showed there had been little temperature change in the past 50 years (the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases) in fact, there was a slight cooling (unlike the global temperature)

https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/hansen_07/
88/ The temps that were released to the public were adjusted around the same time they eliminated the medieval warming period. Here is the difference between the NOAA United States Historical Climatology Network Stations measured temps vs adjusted
89/ NASA's GISTEMP website addresses the 1999 changes "Starting in the 1990s, the methodology took into account documented non-climatic biases in the raw data & eliminated or corrected unrealistic outliers.” to remove shoddy data from the dataset. Hmmm. ok
info comes from the register of national weather modification projects
92/ B4 I start the '00s here is a quote from David Rockefeller, NYT '73:
“Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded, not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering a high morale and community purpose"
93/ You may be wondering why I added this quote. This is because the Rockefeller's gave 10's of millions of dollars during the '00's to green activist groups such as:
94/
* Energy Foundation
* Tides Foundation
* New America Foundation
* WHO (they are relevant)
* Wildlife Conservation Society
* National Resources Defence Council
* Alliance for Climate Protection
* Center for International Environmental Law
* Southern Environmental Law Center
95/ The philanthropic leanings of the wealthy created a shadow govt that in many ways is stronger than our elected leadership

Publications that support globalism go well out of their way to defend such giving & call people who notice conspiracy theorists https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/12/soros-philanthropy/547247/
96/ The reality? People like George Soros & David Rockefeller gave vast sums of money to foundations & orgs to push sovereign nations toward global governance & this is undeniable.

I will get more into the Rockefeller family's contribution in the late part of the decade.
97/ 1st I want to start with a prediction from 1989:

* A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000
Well we made it! https://apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0
98/ They do this to every. single. generation.

More tomorrow
99/ in 2001 Bush removes the US from the Kyoto Protocol. He said that US participation would cost the economy over $400 billion losing 4.9 million jobs. He felt the treaty was unsound. He did however set up the the clean skies legislation.
100/ Bush also initiated the Globate Climate Change Initiative.

https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/ceq/global-change.html

Clean Skies called for cuts in emissions of SO2, NOx & mercury. The GCCI called for reductions in "emissions intensity," tying rates to US economic performance
101/ Climate Activist weren't impressed.

Both programs used transferable "pollution credits," wherein companies are assigned a certain # of credits per ton of pollution created ("cap-and-trade").

Overall they felt little was being achieved. https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2002-02-22/84742/
102/ Undeterred by US withdrawal, in 2005 the Kyoto Protocol becomes international law.

35 countries along with EU are now legally bound to reduce or limit their greenhouse gas emissions.

https://wayback.archive-it.org/9650/20200403061524/http://p3-raw.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/features/kyoto-protocol-becomes-law/
103/ Meanwhile the alarmism continued.

Snow to disappear from Mt. Kilimajaro by 2020!
105/ In 2005 Tony Blair states that climate change is his priority as chair of the G8 & president of the EU.

" We know one other thing, the key characteristic of today's world is it's interdependence. Your problem becomes my problem."
108/ The Institute for Global Change also advocates for accepting "a level of intrusion that would normally "be out of the question in liberal democracies".

Surveillance is a price worth paying in the Covid fight.

Ok Back to 2005.... https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52401763
109/ In 2005 there was a lot of emphasis put on deaths in Africa. Blair & Bush embraced a tentative plan to forgive the debt of poor African nations...but only for those countries he classed as being on the "path to reform."
whatever that means. sigh. I can't go down this road but that's a post in itself. I just wanted to set the stage for what was happening during this period...and the players.
110/ In 2006 the Stern Review was published.

Warning that ignoring climate change could reduce global GDP by 20% by the end of the century. He said we could spend 1% of global GDP a year to avoid this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/feb/15/stern-review
111/ During this period one of the biggest names in Climate Change was Al Gore.

Tomorrow we will go through his strong role in the Climate Cult....
112/ to truly understand Al Gore's role in pulling together the loose ends of climate change. We have to go back to the 90's for a bit. Gore’s strategy was to make sure that all officials involved with funding policies relating to climate change shared his vision.
113/ these agencies included:

* Department of Energy
* Environmental Protection Agency
* National Science Foundation
* Department of Education
* National Oceanic
* Atmospheric Administration
* National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
114/ An example of this was physicist Dr. William Happer who was the Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy. In '93 he testified before congress that the data did not support the hypothesis of manmade global warming.
116/ In 1994 Gore launches the Globe programme, an online tool to increase student awareness of the environment. As you can see the push towards globalizing youth education in this area started years ago:

123 Countries, 37,202 schools, 39,829 teachers

https://www.globe.gov/ 
117/ This platform is house at University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and is sponsored by NASA, NOAA & National Science Foundation through an inter-agency agreement signed in 1998. The U.S. Dept of State supports the work of the GLOBE Program internationally
118/ After Kyoto...Gore runs for president and fails...then returns his focus to climate change in 2002 touring the US with a slide show about Climate Change.
119/ in 2004 he launched Generation Investment Management that blend traditional equity research with sustainability issues.

He co-founded it with Goldman Sachs' Asset Management head David Blood...

http://www.generationim.com/ 
121/ Al Gore is one of the key people in pushing the Climate Cult. In 2005 he created the Alliance for Climate Protection which is now the Climate Reality Project

https://www.algore.com/project/the-climate-reality-project
122/ The Alliance for Climate Protection is committed to educating people worldwide about the climate crisis through projects such as:
* Repower America
* the WE Campaign (interesting name)
* the Reality Coalition
* The affiliated Climate Protection Action Fund
123/ We Campaign was launched in 2008 to educate people worldwide about the climate crisis and encourage them to support a variety of actions. Here is an ad they created with Pelosi & Gingrich. Both the right and the left play a role in pushing the agenda
124/ Here is an example of an ad for their push to Repower America. Again we have the we symbol.
125/ Here is an example of an ad created by the reality coalition combatting clean coal tech
127/ The memo continues: “There has been a budget of $11 million for global warming grants in the U.S. Programs budget for the last several years"
128/ “This budget item captures George Soros’s commitment of $10 million per year for three years to Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, which conducts public education on the climate issue in pursuit of creating political space for aggressive U.S. action...
129/ "...in line with what scientists say is necessary to put our nation on a path to reducing its outsize carbon dioxide emissions.”
130/ ACP got $10 million from the Open Society in 2008. OSI handed over another $5 million to ACP in 2009, according to tax filings.
131/ To give you an idea of how much of a role Al Gore played in the climate change narrative he was featured in 48% of climate change stories on Fox News in 2006. Leading Republican climate skeptic Sen. Jim Inhofe was not featured in one single story on Fox News in 2006
132/ In 2006 Al Gore & Davis Guggenheim used the slide presentation he was touring the US with as the basis for a film that was highly publicized called An Inconvenient Truth
133/
An Inconvenient Truth is chock filled with exaggerations...misleading statements such as: 48 Nobel Prize-winning scientists accuse Bush of distorting science ....leaving out that they were part of a 527 political group set up to promote the Kerry for President Campaign
134/
...and outright falsehoods such as:

They claimed '04 set an all-time record for the # of tornadoes in the US.

The frequency hasn't increased, rather, detection of smaller tornadoes increased. https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/images/tornado/clim/EF3-EF5.png
135/ anyway long story short there are too many inaccuracies and misleading statements made in this movie for me to discuss in detail here....let's just say it's in keeping with the Climate Change movement.
136/Jim Inhofe made a statement debunking An Inconvenient that can be seen here.

The AP contacted 100 scientists about the movie and only 5 responded....they then made the claim that scientists gave the flick two thumbs up. Sound familiar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=VxKZyiNyDqQ&feature=emb_logo
137/ '07 IPCC released 4th Assessment Report:

* 90% likely that humans are responsible climate change
* The annual undiscounted cost of a policy to prevent CO2e from doubling will amount to 0.1% of global GDP or less

https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar4/
138/ in 2007 Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize from the questionable film An Inconvenient Truth.

The #'s provided by the IPPC & Stern Review make sweeping climate policy economically viable...and his propaganda draws a great deal of public support https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2007/summary/
139/
So between the TV ads, the push on a political & local level....combined with reports that show making these changes will be relatively painless....a perfect storm is brewing.

The Climate Cult is ready to hit centre stage.
140/ Meanwhile we continue to get things wrong throughout this period....snowfall is a thing of the past in England....2000
https://web.archive.org/web/20150912124604/http:/www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html
141/

2000-01: Lanark recording 2ft of snow
2003-04: March saw as much as 10 in of snow SW England & Wales
2005/06: Average snowfall
2008/9: Winter coldest since 1995/96
Damn that pesky 30 inches in 2010!

So much for that.

142/ Famine is back with a vegan twist. They have been using this fear tactic since the 70's.

10 years (2012) to make decisions to avoid famine. The rich must give up meat fish & dairy.... https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/dec/24/christmas.famine
143/
So do we have to change our habits to protect our world? Sure, sustainability is an issue. That said, you can see the consistent trend towards fear & how this cycle repeats decade after decade.

My issue is the people promoting the Climate Cult have ulterior motives.
144/
As Soros is trending I am going to go back to his "contributions" to the Climate Cult

I'm sure you've heard about Greta's Global Climate Strike...but did you know that this movement has a large number of partners...22 of which received Soros cash? https://globalclimatestrike.net/partners/ 
145/ from 2000 - 2017 these 22 partners received at least $24,854,592 from Soros’ Open Society Network

from technocracy news
146/
The goals of these group range from:
* reducing global carbon emissions to less than 350 parts per million
* campaigning for 100% “clean energy” (ok jan)
* banning new fossil fuel projects
* green civil rights movement (which is what we see now)
147/
350 was created in 2008 by Bill McKibben.

According to the Financial times 2013: From 2005 McKibben’s campaigns received 100+ grants, for a total of $10-million from 50 foundations https://vimeo.com/6328854 
148/ "More than half of the US$10-million came from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), the Rockefeller Family Fund & the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, where McKibben, a trustee, was paid US$25,000 per year (2001-09). Since 2007."

*Correction Financial Post not Times
149/ "The founders of the Schumann Center were John J. Schumann Jr. and Florence Ford, a former president of General Motors Acceptance Corp. and the daughter of one of the founders of IBM, respectively"

You always see the same players....again and again.
150/
So Bill McKibben must be a scientist? Right?

Nope he doesn't have a scientific background. That said
he writes prolifically about nature/climate change.

He is actually a great example to delve into when exploring the hypocrisy of the Climate Cult.
151/ McKibben has written a dozen books. His first was published in 1989: The End of Nature.
The underlying cause of the “end of nature,” he argues, is a “binge, a half century of unbelievable prosperity and ease” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199359.The_End_of_Nature
152/ A '08 quote gives insight:

My leftism grew more righteous in college but still there was something pro forma about it Being white, male, straight, and of impeccably middle-class background, I could not realistically claim to be a victim of anything" https://www.amazon.ca/Bill-McKibben-Reader-Pieces-Active/dp/B002N2XEWE
153/ Social anthropologist Stanley Kurtz believed McKibben was not only creating an environment of fear.... but was selling the notion of victimization which was a valuable commodity on college campuses.
155/ "students @ America’s finest colleges wish 2 appear as victims to themselves as well as to others w.out the discomfort of actually experiencing victimization & why should the privileged wish 2 become victims 2 alleviate guilt & 2 appropriate the victim’s superior prestige"
From Stanley Kurtz National Review
157/ to break down some of the #s around this time:

2007: 1Sky Education Fund received revenues of $1.6 million ($1.3-million provided Rockefeller Family Fund)

2008: They received a further $920,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, $900,000 from the Schumann Center
158/ From the Rockefeller Family Fund 2007 annual report:
“In December 2007, the Fund received a pledge from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Inc. in the amount of $1,000,000, designated to 1Sky, a project of the Fund, for which the Fund provides fiscal and legal oversight."
159/ "As of December 31, 2007, $100,000 has been received by the Fund towards this pledge, with the remaining $900,000 receivable expected to be collected during 2008.”

The report has since been deleted from their site
160/ there's lots more but you can clearly see the Rockefeller's and the Schumann Center were the cash behind Bill McKibben's supposedly scruffy little outfit. Far too many people believe these groups are "grassroots"

They are not. Many have billionaires behind them.
161/ 1Sky was falsely promoted as the world’s biggest grassroots movement - when in reality it was funded by plutocrats/

At the 2007 Clinton Global Initiative Clinton announced the 1Sky campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=_3PVGLseoGE&feature=emb_logo
163/ The Clinton Global Initiative announced endeavours sponsored by:
* Obama administration
* JP Morgan
* Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
* Rockefeller Foundation
* AFL-CIO labor union federation, etc
164/ I mention the above so you can see the consistency of the international cast of characters and the connection to the United Nations.

The same people and organization pop up again and again.
165/ so what was going on in the press in the late 2000's

Well once again we have the typical fear mongering - predicting sea ice would be gone by 2013 - 2018.
166/ to see how this works I will share some more predictions...

and they try again in 2014....ice gone by 2020
167/ and again in 2020...

ice melted by 2035
168/
...all the while the ice is growing fast in winter months

"NASA makes sure to clearly note that this doesn't mean climate change isn't taking place, that our planet is not warming and that the overall amount of sea ice isn't declining in the Arctic"
169/ this is not to say there's no warming or decline in ice. My point being, our knowledge of climate change is VERY imprecise to say the least.

This is NOT how it's promoted to the general public.

The science is NOT decided.
170/ President elect Barak Obama in November 2008

"The science is clear. Sea levels are rising & coastlines are shrinking. We have seen record drought, spreading famine and storms that are growing stronger each passing hurricane season"
