Subject: Bills re: Global warming, peak oil, alt energy, greenhous
gas,etc (111 Congress)
Is the below "green" legislation just more propaganda?
If
you have not done so, I suggest reading "CO
2: The Greatest
Scientific Scandal of Our Time" by Zbigniew Jaworowski, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc..
Then decide if global warming and accompanying issues are deserving of our
attention.

(Thank you Joann H. for the prior alert to Jaworowski's

CO2: The Greatest
Scientific Scandal of Our Time
Zbigniew Jaworowski, M.D., Ph.D.,
D.Sc.
EIR Science, March 16, 2007
https://www.warwickhughes.com/icecore/zjmar07.pdf
Excerpt
pg1 (emphasis added):
On Feb. 2, 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) again uttered its mantra of catastrophe about man-made global warming.
After weeks of noisy propaganda, a 21-page ³Summary for Policymakers² of the
IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2007, was presented in grandiose style in Paris
to a crowd of politicians and media, accompanied by a blackout of the Eiffel
Tower to show that electric energy is bad. The event induced a tsunami of
hysteria that ran around the world. This was probably the main aim of this
clearly political paper, prepared by governmental and
United Nations bureaucrats, and published more
than three months before the IPCC¹s 1,600-page scientific
report, which is to be released in May. In the words of the IPCC,
this delay is needed for adjustment of the main text,
so that ³Changes . . . [could be] made to ensure consistency with the
OSummary for Policymakers.¹ ² Not a
single word in these 1,600 pages is to be in conflict with what politicians
said beforehand in the summary!
This is a strange and unusual method of
operation for a scientific report, and even stranger is the frankness of the
IPCC¹s words about the delay, disclosing its lack of scientific integrity
and independence. It is exactly the same modus
operandi demonstrated in the three former IPCC reports of 1990, 1995,
and 2001: First the politics, then the
science.
Excerpt pgs.39-40 (emphasis added):
The concern at the top about "climate change" is not genuine, and
there are hidden motives behind the global warming hysteria. Although there is
not the space in this paper to discuss these motives fully, they may be
illustrated by the following citations (for full references, see Jaworowski
1999).
-- Maurice Strong, who dropped out of school at age 14,
established an esoteric global headquarters for the New Age movement in San
Luis Valley, Colorado, and helped produce the 1987 Brundtland Report, which
ignited today¹s Green movement. He later become senior advisor to Kofi Annan,
UN Secretary-General, and chaired the gigantic
(40,000 participants) ³UN Conference on Environment and
Development² in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Strong, who responsible for putting together the
Kyoto Protocol with thousands of bureaucrats,
diplomats, and politicians, stated: ³We may get to the
point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial
civilization to collapse.²
Strong elaborated on the idea
of sustainable development, which, he said, can be implemented by deliberate "quest of poverty. . . reduced resource
consumption . . . and set levels of mortality
control."
-- Timothy Wirth, U.S. Undersecretary of State for
Global Issues, seconded Strong¹s statement: "We have
got to ride the global warming issue. Even
if the theory of global warming is wrong, we
will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental
policy."
-- Richard Benedick, a deputy assistant secretary
of state who headed policy divisions of the U.S. State Department,
stated: "A global warming treaty must implemented
even if there is no scientific evidence to back the [enhanced] greenhouse
effect."
