"Mr President, the Rio +20 Earth Summit 2012 sounds important – but is it really? The Socialist one-world agenda has been having a hard time of it of late. Global problems require global solutions: sounds good. But global governance through scare stories about man-made global warming has fallen flat. People in the UK, US and China are hugely disbelieving. Everybody knows that CO
is not the cause of the ice ages coming and going. So how can a little extra CO
be a problem now, whether or not it causes a little extra global warning? Is not a little warming a good thing? Would anyone here really prefer icebergs in the Channel and polar bears in Brussels?
The same goes for the even more vague scare stories that have been peddled using meaningless rhetoric since Rio twenty years ago. No one knows what sustainable development really means – and who would want unsustainable development anyway? The environmentalists’ ‘ban everything accept windmills’ attitude is going to send us back to the Middle Ages unless we put a stop to it.
You are calling in this document for tangible actions and accountable targets, but of course that is all just Soviet five-year plans all over again. It is about time we recognised these failed Communist policies for what they are and go back to the honest free-market approach which creates wealth for all by innovation and hard work, not by endless interfering and political tinkering."@en1
