John Kerry: klimaatverandering massavernietigingswapen
Knettergek.
Even het geheugen opfrissen!
Onder de titel, 'Spiral of hyperbole', schreef ik vele jaren geleden het volgende:
As has been explained before, there exists strong propensity of climate alarmism within the IPCC. But outside the IPCC, alarmism is still further magnified. David Henderson, former chief economist of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, Paris), presented in a recent article a number of statements of highranking officials of various international institutions.
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC: I hope this report will shock people [and] governments into taking more serious action.
Achim Steiner, DirectorGeneral of UNEP: In the light of the reports findings, it would be irresponsible to resist or seek to delay actions on mandatory emissions cuts.
Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): the findings leave no doubt as to the dangers that mankind is facing and must be acted on without delay.
Stavros Dimas, Eurocommissioner for environment: ... a grim report ...

Even political leaders joined the doomsday chorus, of which Henderson also gave some striking examples.
Tony Blair, then Prime Minister of the UK in a comment on the Stern Report: What is not in doubt is that the scientific evidence of global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is now overwhelming [and] that if the science is right, the consequences for our planet are literally disastrous.
The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and the Netherlands Prime Minister, JanPeter Balkenende, in a common letter of October 2006 to the EU leaders: We have a window of only 10 15 years to take the steps we need to avoid crossing a catastrophic tipping point.
The Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, qualified climate change as: perhaps the biggest threat to confront the future of humanity today.
The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, declared: What is at stake is the fate of humanity as a whole.

De meerderheid van de hier aangehaalde prominenten is inmiddels van het toneel verdwenen. Sinds hun uitspraken is de gemiddelde wereldtemperatuur niet meer gestegen, maar de klimaatpropaganda gaat onverminderd door. Al vele decennia worden de burgers daarmee van officiële zijde, nagepraat door de reguliere media, geïndoctrineerd en worden er in Europa jaarlijks honderden miljarden aan klimaatbeleid gespendeerd. Maar heeft die indoctrinatie nu geholpen?
Te oordelen naar de recente uitspraken van de Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse zaken, John Kerry, wel degelijk! Immers, hij vergeleek de opwarming van de aarde nog onlangs met een vreesaanjagend massavernietigingswapen. Kerry liet zich daarbij uiterst denigrerend uit over klimaatsceptici. Zucht waarom zo'n hysterische toonzetting? Helaas, het is een vast patroon.
Kerry:
'We simply don't have time to let a few loud interest groups hijack the climate conversation,' he said, referring to what he called 'big companies' that 'don't want to change and spend a lot of money' to act to reduce the risks.
Kerry later singled out major oil and coal concerns as the primary offenders.
'We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts,' Kerry told the audience at a U.S. Embassyrun American Center in a shopping mall.
'Nor should we allow any room for those who think that the costs associated with doing the right thing outweigh the benefits.'

Dit doet ernstige twijfel rijzen aan het beoordelingsvermogen van een belangrijke minister van het machtigste land ter wereld.
Maar de burgers geloven daar niet meer in. Een voorbeeld van de 'wisdom of the crowds'? Voor hen zijn milieu en klimaat dramatisch gezakt in de rangorde van de zaken waarover zij zich zorgen maken.
In een recente 'posting' verwijst de onvermoeibare Pierre Gosselin naar de uitkomsten van de laatste opiniepeiling van de 'Standard Eurobarometer'.
What would be the appropriate thing to say about a government that pours a monstrously disproportionate amount of money into an issue no one really cares about, and does so at the huge expense of the very issues that people really do care about?
Id say its just a question of time before serious economic and social instability erupts. Its a socio-political disaster waiting to happen.
This is precisely the case in Europe. Hundreds of billions of euros are being pumped into environment and climate protection which a recent survey clearly shows is not at all the main concern of EU citizens. The survey tells us in no uncertain terms that the essential issues of economics and jobs are being seriously neglected and that the stability of the continent is at serious risk. People are genuinely worried about their jobs and the economy.
In a comprehensive European survey on issues that matter to citizens, climate and environment finished almost dead last, not even making the top 10. Clearly, economics jobs and prices are far more important for European citizens, as the challenge for citizens to make ends meet are far more real than the abstract computer-generated climate catastrophe, which is allegedly due 100 years from now. ...
More astonishing is that despite the 2-decades long multi-multi billion euro climate campaign and persistent mass media blitz, climate still remains an irrelevant fringe issue. Unless you find yourself in North Korea, it goes to show that brainwashing is not easy to do in todays decentralized multi-media environment. Mainstream media has lost its influence. The Internet media is playing a more important role than ever. ...
Of course everyone agrees environment is an essential issue. But pouring literally tens of billions into fictitious climate protection year after year while neglecting the real, pressing issues is becoming a dangerous game. The observed data do really tell us: the climate catastrophe is nothing more than a computer modelenerated hallucination.
Hopefully eurocrats will quickly take the survey results very seriously and acknowledge that their economic problems are truly pressing and that neglecting them further will only increase the risk of serious social consequences and civic instability. The EU is keeping its socioeconomic powder kegs tinder dry.

Als Gosselin gelijk heeft, dan zouden we een eclatante overwinning van de eurosceptici bij de komende Europese verkiezingen mogen verwachten. Maar dat ligt nog in de schoot der toekomst verborgen.
