The UN's Eco-Socialist Agenda

If you want to know what's really behind the global warming fiasco, you need to read an extremely important piece written by Joseph Klein in today's FrontPage Magazine. Here's a portion of it:

The United Nations has just issued yet another scaremongering assessment of the world’s environment. It was put together by the UN’s principal environmental agency, known as the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). The best way to engineer transformation of the current legal system to global governance of the environment, under the auspices of the UN, is for its “experts” to first create the mass perception of an imminent cosmic cataclysm if humanity continues on its present course.[1]

The UNEP report, known as “Global Environment Outlook: Environment for Development (GEO-4)”, covers not just global warming. It covers all dimensions of environmental deterioration that UNEP claims are imminently putting “humanity at risk”. The report warns that we are in mortal danger of passing “unknown points of no return” on climate change, the rate of extinction of species, loss of fertile land through degradation, unsustainable pressure on resources and the challenge of feeding a growing population.

UNEP’s GEO-4 report places primary blame on over-population and the “the rising consumption of the rich”. The solution, according to the authors of the report, requires “fundamental changes in social and economic structures, including lifestyle changes.”

UNEP is serving up repackaged socialism, which one could call eco-socialism. Essentially it is saying that we have to choose between the capitalist free market or a habitable planet.

Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma put it more bluntly during the United Nations meeting on Climate Change in New York last month:

'I think that capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity and if we do not change the model, change the system, then our presence, our debate, our exchange, and the proposals that we make in these meetings at the United Nations will be totally in vain… Where does this pollution come from? It comes from, and is generated by, the unsustainable development of a system which destroys the planet: in other words, capitalism.

I feel that it is important to organise an international movement to deal with the environment, a movement that will be above institutions, businesses and countries that just talk about commerce, that only think about accumulating capital. We have to organize a movement that will defend life, defend humanity, and save the earth.

I think that it is important to think about some regions, some sectors and some countries repaying what has often been called the ecological debt.'

The UNEP report adopts the Bolivian president’s eco-socialist philosophy. Its authors have little faith in free market technological solutions to environmental problems, or what they call “the technology-centred development paradigm". They are bringing back to life the long discredited economic theory of Thomas Robert Malthus, who predicted in the late eighteenth century that population growth would outstrip the growth of the world’s food supply, leading to a catastrophe of subsistence-level living conditions.

Please be sure to read the rest of this article. It's crucial that America wakes up to the real reason behind the global warming agenda as well the destructive and corrupt nature of the United Nations.

Too many people assume, because of it's ineptitude and corruption, that the UN is irrelevant. It is not irrelevant because we have a congress and a White House that goes along with much of what the UN wants.

The UN is antithetical to everything America was built upon and it now actively seeks our wealth and our sovereignty.
