“...all to combat climate change.”

When I was in college, the Soviets were funding US Leftist groups to attack us from 2 angles: They paid for the anti-war (and anti-military) movement, obviously, and they also paid for the ‘environmental’ movement (all documented in the Venona Papers). To their surprise, and I’m sure delight (and probably shock), they got themselves a whole army of professors and media types to actually believe their garbage.

At the time, the prime goal of the Soviets was to obtain political, or at least psychological, control over Western Europe, and the best way to do that was to arm-up, and the point out to the Western Europeans that the US wouldn’t match them (and therefore likely wouldn’t not protect them either), so it was time to start cutting deals, starting with a huge natural gas pipeline. Then Reagan came along and that strategy quickly failed. The ‘environment’ was a longer-term play, intended to weaken our side economically.

So then, starting exactly on Earth Day, 1990, just as the Cold War was about over, all we heard was that the Earth was going to hell...and it’s still all we hear. “Climate change” is simply a cover, for if combating that was the REAL GOAL, you would be hearing a much different approach from them, starting with the following:

1) Demanding nuclear power plants be built and a huge push for fusion.
2) Demanding that hydroelectric plants be built and high voltage wires strung everywhere
3) Demanding that we look at shading options for the sun (in Earth orbit, or upper atmosphere), which are very compared to what’s being spent on the ground
4) Demanding real population control and reduction in the Third World, where the largest gains, by far, in carbon emissions are taking place as they modernize
5) Demanding a sharp reduction in the giant countries of China and India, and willing to use any means to accomplish that end.
6) Be will to accept technologies which permanently lock up carbon, and already exist

But they are NOT pushing any of the above. Therefore it’s only reasonable to conclude that their goals lie elsewhere. And given their history and what they despise (i.e., Western culture), it’s not hard to figure out what their ultimate goal here is, when they say ‘combat climate change’.

So, it’s probably best to stop taking them at their word and looking more at their actions.
