Donna Laframboise has an excellent piece on how the IPCC has been assimilated by influence from the WWF.
Apparently hawking the threat of dead panda bears is quite lucrative, Donna writes:
It is important to understand that while the WWF might once have been a humble, shoestring operation this is no longer the case. It has grown into a business entity with offices in 30 countries that employs a staff of 5,000 (see the last page of this PDF). The US branch of the WWF alone employs:
That same branch also includes a:
In 2010, the WWF’s US arm had operating revenues of $224 million – just under a quarter of a billion dollars. Yes, that’s a B.
By way of comparison, operating revenues for Amnesty International’s US affiliate amounted to $36 million – one-sixth that amount (see page 29 here).
According to its 2010 annual report, the WWF’s international network had operating revenues of €524,963,000. Converted to US dollars that’s just shy of three-quarters of a billion. In one year.

That thing is a fiscal monster.

The IPCC grew with “EU” money
Greenpeace, I believe grew with “EU” money.
Over the last couple of years, they have been discredited for several well know reasons. Now it is WWF’s turn. Same speeches, same slogans, same senior staff connections to innocent German research, PR, and related institutions.

What I can say, from my failing country, is that the world as we know it is falling appart. For the last 50 years we have had electricity from lignite and hydropwer. 2 years ago, wholesale electricity was at roughly $45-50/Mhr, demand is dropping, and our German Saviors plan to cover Greece with wind and solar gadgets pushing electriciy prices to over twice the previous levels. A mini Desertec. WWF has replaced Greenpeace as the key proponent of Green but they have identical promotional verbiage, straight out of Siemens’s marketing brochures.
Thanks Ernest.
