Climate Death Cult COP25 Gathers in Madrid; UN’s Guterres Tells Four Powers To Embrace Genocide
Dec. 4, 2019 (EIRNS)—Former Trump Administration climate science adviserWilliam Happer has appropriately referred to the COP25 summit currently meeting in Madrid as an “environmental cult,” gathered to discuss a “nonexistent climate emergency,” as we report in this issue. Representatives of 200 nations attending the Dec. 2-13 conference, kicked off the first session by pledging to carry out a “green revolution.” Child-abuse victim Greta Thunberg has just arrived in Lisbon from her trans-Atlantic sailing voyage, and is expected to arrive in Madrid shortly.
But it was UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who set the tone for this macabre event when he announced how very disappointed he was in efforts made to cut greenhouse emissions, as reported by Deutsche Welle.
“Do we really want to be remembered as the generation that buried its head in the sand?” He urged country delegates not to take “the path of surrender” in dealing with climate change.
Guterres went on to attack countries for their reliance on coal production. “Our strong recommendation is for countries to think seriously before building new coal power plants and for those that can do it to start phasing out the old ones,” he said. After expressing optimism that Europe can lead the way for climate reform, because it had just taken the bold move of declaring a climate emergency, Guterres zeroed in on the four main powers—Russia, China, the United States, and India—which Lyndon LaRouche said should form the basis for a New Bretton Woods system.
Guterres said,
“I’m convinced that Europe will be in a position to negotiate with China, with India, with the United States, with Russia in a way that will allow all to understand that this must be a collective effort and that they all will have to correct their policies in order to be able to drastically reduce the emissions” (emphasis added).
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a spectacle of herself, telling reporters that she agreed with Guterres’ sentiments, and that leaders should “stick with the science” when it comes to climate change. Voice of America News reported her boasting that several Democrat-led congressional committees are working on separate parts of what would be a broad climate-change plan.
“This climate action plan will be an extraordinary opportunity to really invest in the clean energy economy,” Pelosi said. “For future generations. This is a mission, this is a passion, this is a scientifically-based approach, to all. We are here to say to you, on behalf of the House of Representatives to the Congress of the United States, we are still in it. We are still in it,” said Pelosi.
Other leaders who chose to drink the Kool Aid were Poland’s new climate minister—recall that Poland is one of Europe’s major coal producers and depends on fossil fuels for 80% of its energy—who said his goal is to redouble efforts to cut carbon gas emissions and develop new clean energy sources. Spain’s interim Prime Minister Socialist Pedro Sanchez, attacked the so-called climate deniers, saying that “only a handful of fanatics deny the evidence.”
