DESCRIPTION

“This is the story of how one species changed a planet..”- so begins this new promo put out by a team of UN-sponsored scientists. The website associated with the “short film” states it has been set up by “researchers and communicators from some of the leading scientific research institutions on global sustainability.”

“This is the story of how one species changeda planet..”- so begins this new promo put outby a team of UN-sponsored scientists. Thewebsite associated with the “short film” statesit has been set up by “researchers andcommunicators from some of the leadingscientific research institutions on globalsustainability.”

The film itself follows the same old tiresomescript we’ve heard so often from the mouths of neo-eugenic propagandists: too many people,shrinking icecaps, rising sea levels and the rest. The solution to all this doom and gloom? Globalgovernment of course.

The “leading scientific institutions” the website mentions are visible at the credits-page, namely:the Stockholm Environment Institute, the Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, StockholmUniversity and other organisations promoting global governance.

The chief scientists involved with the “Planet under Pressure” confab- one of whom stated earlierthat questioning “climate change” equals serious mental illness- are featuring the short filmprominently on their website now calling for global government to stem the tide of “human-induced climate change”.

As part of the State of the Planet Declaration issued by the UN-backed organization, a collectionof high-level scientists pushes the idea of global governance, calling it “Earth SystemGovernance”. The declaration reads:

“Governments must take action to support institutions and mechanisms that will improvecoherence, as well as bring about integrated policy and action across the social, economic andenvironmental pillars. Current understanding supports the creation of a SustainableDevelopment Council within the UN system to integrate social, economic and environmentalpolicy at the global level. There is also strong support for strengthening global governance byincluding civil society, business and industry in decision-making at all levels.”

At all levels. Listed among the measures required to “strengthen” global governance is:“continued exploration of new areas of knowledge, such as theoretical and applied research inbehavioural science (…)”. In a separate policy brief put out by the confab titled Transforming

Governance and Institutions for a Planet under Pressure the initiators again openly promote theemergence of global government when they write under the header “Prepare Global Governancefor a Warmer World”: “At the global level, the institutional framework seems ill prepared to copewith the consequences of massive global change that will affect such major systems as food,water, energy, health and migration, and their interactions. While massive changes, for example insea level, may not be imminent, future dangers can be minimized if institutional reform is plannedand negotiated today. Global adaptation programmes thus need to become a core concern of theUN system and governments.” The Planet under Pressure turned out to be a true feast of globalgovernment-proposals. One of sessions at the conference mentions no less than four sessionsdevoted to the idea of using ecological calamities, feigned or not, to accelerate the emergence ofglobal government.

One sometimes grows weary of allthese calls for world government. One grows even wearier of the reason submitted for it: globalclimate change. It has of course been exhaustively documented that if there’s one thing constantabout the climate, is that it changes constantly. Furthermore, the idea of world government ismuch older than any global warming-craze the elite have come up with. As the Club of Rome, apioneer-organization of the entire eco-fascist global takeover, stated in their “First GlobalRevolution”: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution,the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.”
