A shocking statement was made by a United Nations official Christiana Figueres at a news conference in Brussels.
Figueres admitted that the Global Warming conspiracy set by the U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, of which she is the executive secretary, has a goal not of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity, but to destroy capitalism. She said very casually: “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.” She even restated that goal ensuring it was not a mistake: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.” View Quote Read the rest @ http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-03/un-official-admits-global-warming-agenda-really-about-destroying-capitalism Edit: My original link is dated 02/03/2017.

Who in their right fucking mind thinks a global centralized planned economy would work?
These people are dangerous and need to be removed from power. |

Trump needs to pull us out of the UN, stop all of our funds going to the UN and give them 1 year to GTFO of the US.
Fuck the UN. |

They've slipped up before and admitted its not about the environment at all:
https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/8623-un-official-admits-cap-and-trade-is-wealth-redistribution During an interview with Germany’s NZZ Online Sunday, UN official Ottmar Edenhofer declared, “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.” The interview went as follows: (NZZ AM SONNTAG): The new thing about your proposal for a Global Deal is the stress on the importance of development policy for climate policy. Until now, many think of aid when they hear development policies. (OTTMAR EDENHOFER, UN IPCC OFFICIAL): That will change immediately if global emission rights are distributed. If this happens, on a per capital basis, then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there. This will have enormous implications for development policy. And it will raise the question if these countries can deal responsibly with so much money at all. |

Back before Glenn Beck was a complete nutter, he exposed Van Jones for stating the same thing. The Green Movement was about redistribution of wealth.

Christiana Figueres quote “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.” Investors.com reminds Figueres that the only economic model in the last 150 years that has ever worked at all is capitalism. The evidence is prima facie: From a feudal order that lasted a thousand years, produced zero growth and kept workdays long and lifespans short, the countries that have embraced free-market capitalism have enjoyed a system in which output has increased 70-fold, work days have been halved and lifespans doubled. |

It doesn't do much good to leave a lot of the world behind. But helping them help themselves does not mean we have to suffer equally.

I first read that story a few years ago.

Also, the UN isn't going to control China's economy. They likely won't have much say with Indian's, either.

So what's all of the concern then? View Quote Control of Western economies, like the US in particular. Most countries can sign something like Kyoto and then cheat on it. The US won't. Which is why it was important to avoid it. As we are seeing, there is wide pushback to the globalist agenda driven by the UN, the EU, and the Democratic party. They are not getting what they want so easily. |

That doesn't capture the whole of it. They're against capitalism and in favor of socialism, which entails a lot more than just tax rates. View Quote I don't think that is exactly true. They want to control the economy and plan it. They somewhat grasp the failures of socialism. Their economic plans are more in line with fascism: government control but mostly private companies, which will have more freedom of action than you would find under true communism. The goal of the left is control. |

View Quote “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.” Leaving capitalism, communism, and socialism out of it: it is clear she is talking about political elites changing the economic development model. Is she part of a weak organization? Perhaps, but then why is she talking about such changes? The basic fact that seems to elude you is that the West in large measure has fallen for some key, destructive ideas pushed by political elites. Hence the creation of the UN, EU, the push for open borders and the push to tax carbon and move towards energy sources that may never be able to provide energy to power advanced societies. They have pushed very far into a place that is "emperor has no clothes" territory. Pushback has taken the form of Trump, Britexit, the Italian "No!" vote, and will probably ramp up as the elites double down and the self inflicted disasters continue. |
