The global environmental
movement seemed to start
in 1962 with Rachael Carson’s
book, Silent Spring.
She made a weak case against
the widespread use of insecticides.
Her lack of science knowledge
led to cherry picking only
data that supported her case.
Her "conclusions"
(1)
Pesticides were bad.
(2)
Scientists who
did not agree,
were bad people.
Many deaths of children
from malaria resulted
from the banning,
and unjustified fear,
of DDT.
That ultimately led to the
creation of the EPA in 1970,
during the Nixon administration.
In 1974 Molina and Rowlands
claimed that chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) destroy the ozone layer.
In the 1980’s a hole in the ozone layer
was discovered over the South Pole.
The science never made sense,
and natural fluctuations were
never considered.
The 1987 Montreal Protocol
banned the use of CFCs.
More recently, genetically modified
food, vaccinations and glyphosate
(RoundUp) were feared, also with
very questionable science.
The IPCC was set up in 1988
by two UN organizations,
UNEP and the World Meteorology
Organization (WMO), to study
climate change.
Their agenda soon became
blaming climate change
only on humans,
ignoring the past
4.5 billion years
of natural climate
change,
and assuming
the future climate
had to be a crisis,
which only governments
could fix, guided by
the United Nations,
acting as the
'world climate czar'.
Hello leftist politics,
goodbye real science !
The IPCC provided the
(junk) science platform
for NGOs like Greenpeace,
the World Wildlife Fund,
Friends of the Earth, and
the the Environmental
Defense Fund to push
their green / socialist
agendas.
It was no longer about
"saving the planet".
Christiana Figueres,
Executive Secretary
of the United Nations
Framework Convention
on Climate Change,
made that clear:
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 – you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”
In 2019, Richard Lachmann
of the Democratic Socialists
of America, said:
“Climate change is an issue around which people can unite across borders in opposition to both fascists and neoliberals. It provides a framework in which socialists can bring together domestic and foreign policy, the ideological and the practical, the personal and the political, and loudly challenge all those who don’t care. Climate change will create an opening for socialist politics by breaking the link between capitalist growth and political legitimacy”.
When any data are presented
to support climate crisis claims,
they are cherry-picked, or
simply based on modeling
( computer games ).
