GOODBYE GLOBAL WARMING, HELLO BIODIVERSITY
By Alan Caruba
THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT & THE NEW LIE IT IS DISSEMINATING: BIODIVERSITY & THE ECOSYSTEM
THREATENED BY A LOOMING HUMAN-INDUCED GLOBAL SPECIES EXTINCTION CRISIS -- ENVIRONMENTALISTS PUSHING A
POLICY AGENDA DESIGNED TO BAR VAST AREAS OF THE EARTH FROM THE DEVELOPMENT NEEDED TO FEED SIX BILLION
PEOPLE & PROVIDE THE RAW MATERIALS VITAL TO THE ENERGY REQUIRED FOR A MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY
DEPENDENT ON ELECTRICITY & TRANSPORTATION FUELS
FULL STORY:
After three decades of trying to push the global warming scam to a point where billions could be made selling and
trading bogus “carbon credits,” the global schemers have abandoned it, in the wake of 2009 revelations that a handful
of rogue climate scientists were literally inventing the data to support it.
If there is one lesson to be learned from and about environmentalists, it is that they are utterly relentless. The ultimate
goal is one-world government directed from the United Nations by unelected bureaucrats who are soulless strangers
to the truth, to morality, to humanity.
The United States supports this abomination to the tune of billions every year.
The United Nations is a place where some of the world’s dictatorships have delegates representing them on its Human
Rights Council, where a vast Oil-for-Food scandal flourished while Saddam Hussein held power in Iraq, where a single
agency’s sole purpose is to ensure that Palestinians remain refugees six decades after the rebirth of Israel.
It is an organization where all manner of international treaties are ginned up to extend its control over the entire land
mass and all the waters of the earth.
It is where the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) practiced its deceit, regularly documenting a rise in
the earth’s average temperature, even when a new natural cooling cycle began in 1998.
Everything that could be attributed to a phony global warming to keep the people of the world scared flowed from this
enormous lie. It caused governments to invest billions into the worst forms of energy, wind and solar, along with
endless other equally worthless “Green” programs.
So, now, permit me to introduce you to the NEXT Big Lie — biodiversity!
It is the claim that a “Global extinction crisis looms, new study says.” That’s the headline on an October 27, 2010,
Washington Post article by Juliet Eilperin, the Post’s designated shameless scaremongering reporter.
In June, 2010, the delegates from 200 nations gathered in Busan, a South Korean port city, under the banner of the
Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a platform just like the
discredited IPCC, but with the goal of denying vast areas of the earth from the development needed to feed six billion
people and provide the raw materials vital to the energy required for a modern technological society dependent on
electricity and on transportation fuels.
The “reason” for this is the alleged extinction of “nearly 26,000 species across the globe.” The list was compiled by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature that purports to count all the mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and
fish in the world to determine how “imperiled” there.
The very idea evokes incredulity. It is laughable and it is impossible. In the same fashion, people were told that the
global warmers could predict the temperature of the Earth fifty to a hundred years from now, we are expected to believe
that all current species are imperiled. Just as humans were blamed for a non-existent rise in the Earth’s temperature,
humans are blamed for a massive and fictional extinction.
Consider that, from the earliest forms of life on earth to the existence of present species, all have been engaged daily in
the act of killing and eating one another. Ruminants that dine on grasses and other vegetation remain the prey for
predator species.
Consider that, of all the species that ever existed on Earth, 99% are extinct.
Nicholas K. Dulvy, a co-author of the list of alleged endangered species, complained that “We’ve transformed a third
of the habitable land on earth for food production.” Oh, heaven forbid that humans should have enough food!
So, naturally, as reporter Eilperin noted, “Environmental groups are pushing for a goal of protecting 25 percent of all
land on earth and 15 percent of the sea by 2020,” even though, under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity,
roughly 14 percent of terrestrial areas and less than one percent of the ocean are already subject to socalled
“environmental safeguards.”
Expect to begin hearing from yet a new group of “scientists” claiming that every creature from antelopes to zebras,
from anteaters to weasels, albatrosses to vultures, crocodiles to vipers, and all the fish in the seas are doomed!
Doomed! Doomed!
Billions of dollars that should go to feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and all manner of humanitarian needs will
be siphoned off by this new group of United Nations grifters and charlatans for endless “research” grants and, of
course, more international meetings to discuss this horrible new crisis.
This is how the cruel enviro-mafia works. We have all had a taste of it since the late 1980s, when the global warming
hoax was first perpetrated. The biodiversity lie needs a quicker death.
