Danish Academic: U.N. Might Use Military to Enforce Climate Agenda

The United Nations may resort to military action against states that defy its mandates on global climate action, according to Ole Wæver, a prominent international relations professor at the University of Copenhagen.

In an interview with ABC News in Australia, Professor Wæver cautions that what he sees as “climate inaction” might draw the U.N. into considering other means to ensure its goals are met, even if that leads to global armed conflict.

Professor Wæver says more resistance to change could potentially threaten democracy although the U.N. would counter that the end justified the means in much the same way countries like Greece had their debt crisis solutions forced on them by European Union bureaucrats in Brussels and Strasbourg.

“The United Nations Security Council could, in principle, tomorrow decide that climate change is a threat to international peace and security,” he says.

“And then it’s within their competencies to decide ‘and you are doing this, you are doing this, you are doing this, this is how we deal with it’.”

He believes classifying climate change as a security issue could leave the door open to more extreme policy responses. See the full interview below:

Time to stock up on popcorn.

1 — where will the UN get the troops?

#2 — where will the money come from to pay for it?

#3 — who believes that the Security Council — which would have to approve military action — would pass such a resolution?

If this ever comes to pass it won’t be an invasion against national government resistance. It wii be at the invitation of a DemocRAT President and paid for by our government using our taxes.

Of course they could because its not really about climate change is it?

Professor Wæver isn’t in favor of any such idiocy, he’s afraid the idiots at the UN would use Climate Change as an excuse to expand their political power. And he’s right so far as it goes - it they had an army, they would. Which is why they never should be allowed one.

“Of course they could because its not really about climate change is it?”

I plowed through lots of Copenhagen Convention documents and reports. There was very little about climate directly. The discussions seemed to focus on “global post-carbon economies” and “global governance” and “structural realignment” of governments.
