"If governments spent only one per cent of what is spent on armies, they would change the face of the world for poor people." Osama bin Laden, October 1, 2010.
OSAMA bin Laden believes climate change is more damaging than war.
An audio recording attributed to the al-Qaeda leader and broadcast on the internet yesterday expresses concern about the devastating floods in Pakistan and calls on Muslims to provide relief for the victims.
"The number of victims caused by climate change is very big... bigger than the victims of wars," says the recording.
If genuine, the recording would be Bin Laden's first since March 25.
It was not clear when the tape was made, but Bin Laden congratulated Muslims on the holy fasting month of Ramadan which ended September 10.
"The catastrophe (in Pakistan) is very big and it is difficult to describe it," the recording says.
"What we are facing... calls for generous souls and brave men to take serious and prompt action to provide relief for their Muslim brothers in Pakistan."
The recording makes a series of recommendations to deal with climate changes namely preventive measures that should be taken by governments in the face of disasters.
"Providing tents, food and medicine is a duty... but the disasters (facing many Muslim countries) are much bigger than what is being offered.
"Action should not be confined to providing emergency aid... but to set up a capable relief task force that has the knowledge and experience need to" meet the challenges.
He sure talks a lot for a guy that has been dead for years.
I expect he knows plenty about global warming. It must feel to him like the whole wide world is one big lake of fire.
9-11 wasn’t carbon nuetral.
Well, I’m convinced now
Osama bin Ladens new career path.....Humanitarian?.....B.S!
If he’s still alive....find him and hang his ass!
Right, but you see how the media has made him a God, quoting him, asking what would osama do? (WWOD?), making him way larger than even when he lived. Sickening!
I’d rather buy the Manifesto of Ted Kazinski than this clown.
Obama bin Laden’s green sleaze goes well with Islam’s intent to regress mankind back to the stone age.
He sounds just like BBC Radio.
One of his sons said in years back he would get mad listening to the BBC radio. Probably listening to agitprop about the “million dead Iraqi babies” myth.
I doubt he does. It is probably considered just another tool to attract ‘useful idiots.’
It was Murray (the stupidest person on the planet per Ann Coulter) who was praising Osama Bin Laden for doing great things, and “making life better” back in 2002.

Look, bozo - there's WAAAAAAY more poor people than there are governments, so let the poor people pay for all this "mitigation" stuff.
Hell's payroll is currently made on "carbon credits" from the First Infernal Bank of Anti-Capitalism.
