Democracy Will Die In Climate Panic
The United Nations is one of the most sacred political cows in the liberal media. This is especially true when they convene the global elites on the perils of “climate change.”
The latest confab in Sharm-al-Sheikh, Egypt began with the usual appeal to fear and panic from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, formerly known as the Socialist Party prime minister of Portugal.
“Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible,” Guterres warned. “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.” If that AC/DC song echo wasn’t strong enough, he added, “We can sign a climate solidarity pact, or a collective suicide pact.”
Journalists consider anyone who questions this my-way-or-Hell viewpoint as not only a “denier” of science but an enemy of the people. Their standard practice is to sound like U.N. publicists.
NPR’s comically titled newscast All Things Considered ran a U.N.-boosting story on November 7 that they headlined: “U.N. climate conference opens with alarming warnings about the global climate.” There was no dissent allowed from the “highway to climate hell” talk.
Anchor Elissa Nadworny helpfully asked reporter Ruth Sherlock what the U.N. hoped to accomplish.
Sherlock touted “developing” countries demanding “loss and damage” money, insisting “wealthier countries that are responsible for most of the carbon dioxide emissions should pay reparations to emerging economies.”
Conservatives are calling this the “Sharm-al-Sheikh-down.”
The only dissenting note on NPR, naturally, was from the left of the UN establishment, from Greta Thunberg-style extremists who want to ban capitalism. Nadworny asked about Egypt hosting this conference since they do not typically tolerate much dissent.
NPR was proud to push the U.N. leader’s warnings, but they didn’t quote from this protester sign photographed in Egypt: “Climate change denial deserves the death penalty.”
Let’s hope that’s just one doomsday crank. But the authoritarians at the UN clearly need the doomsday sound, because they want a climate crackdown more severe than the COVID shutdowns.
In 2021, the U.N. Environment Programme complained, “Overall emissions reductions in 2020 likely reduced the annual increase of the atmospheric concentrations of long-lived greenhouse gases, but this effect was too small to be distinguished from natural variability.”
Now they demand we reduce emissions by 45 percent by 2030.
So imagine an ongoing crackdown worse than COVID lockdowns.
You can’t even debate the timing of their panic. The UN summit has a Climate Clock warning we only have six years and 255 days to avert certain doom.
Democrats in the midterms slammed Republicans who question the climate doom as “extremists.” The liberal media never question whether the international climate consensus is extreme.
They define that as the sensible governing center, with Greta Thunberg – Time’s 2019 “Person of the Year” – goading for more.
Authoritarian extremism is painted as idealism.
Every democratic nation on Earth has to attempt to translate these demands into policy that doesn’t cause a voter revolt.
The result is a whole lot of verbal deference to globalist demands, followed by policies that “fall short.”
The media yelled at Team Trump for pulling out of the Paris accords. What they wanted was an insincere endorsement of environmental extremism, and then a policy that was far less severe than what the U.N. wanted.
For decades now, our so-called democracy-defending media has clamped down on any dissent from the climate cops.
There can be no two sides – or it’s stacked as reason versus unreason, science versus quackdom, and humanity versus inhumanity.
When they complain the “Biden agenda” will be stopped, this is one crucial part of it.
Democracy and climate are at odds.

What a relief it was to hear Donald Trump nominating for the 2024 president on Fox News yesterday. He highlighted the importance of simple, accurate, voting as well as Bottom-Up government. I could not agree more. See https://bosmin.com/ICS/CIR-Australia.pdf

Trump promoted the possibility of hydroxychloroquine, an ionophore, and the exploration of early treatment protocols as advised by solution focused health professionals. This had the potential to negate emergency approval for the clot shots.
He had to be got rid of.
Short memory or no brain at all?

Hi Aaron. Thank you for your civil response.
I took a look at your reference but it required a sign in to google or facebook but I do not do either of those things, both contemptible manipulators, so I took a look at wikipedia’s blurb on anarchy.
Non-government societies function in tribal settings but my perception is that anarchial cities and states fail because of the outside enemy and the internal delinquent who become the criminals or destroyers in pursuit of power, accumulation of other peoples’ treasures. or imposition of differing belief systems.
Model systems are more readily developed in smaller, egalitarian communities but in bigger communities the swamp dominates, imposition of power by power seekers.
The current main political flaw in my country is discussion rather than analysis of multiple competing policies (pros and cons) and strategies.
Best wishes. Matt

Wish there was an edit function
From the preface
What you read in this book will, in all likelihood, go directly against what you have been
taught by your parents and your teachers, what you have been told by the churches, the
media and the government, and much of what you, your family and your friends have always believed. Nonetheless, it is the truth, as you will see if you allow yourself to consider the issue objectively. Not only is it the truth, it also may be the most important truth you will ever hear.

You should understand that America is not a ‘democracy’ and never was.
It’s an important distinction…

John,
Don’t keep telling me what you think the USA isn’t. Try saying what you think the USA is.

The U.S. has become a fascist tyranny.

He makes a valid point. No ‘system’ that requires you to be rich to be president can ever be named a ‘democracy ‘. Call it what it is: a Plutocrasy- as it has ALWAYS been. Fascist tyranny is also correct. The people believe they live in a democratic state only because of propoganda, period.

The United States was founded as a constitutional republic. The founders abhorred democracies as inclined to inevitable self-destruction. In classical times, Solon a Greek was asked to devise a government of laws, not men, with restraints to prevent, say, killing Socrates by one vote. No Greek city-state managed to establish one. Much later Rome sent delegates to use Solon’s idea for a Roman republic. That was based on “Twelve Tables” of the law and lasted through empires and dictatorships in one form or another.
America’s founders worked to establish this republic, guided by Enlightenment principles and Judeo-Christian beliefs, as servant to the supremacy of the individual whose God-given life and rights, no sovereign or sovereign people could extinguish, unless by due process of law.
Try as some might, Americans have never lived up to the ideals. I think many no longer want to.
