Christiana Figueres Climate Manifesto
Christiana Figueres, writing in Nature, delivered her manifesto--and declaration of emergency. Within three years, says she, if carbon emissions do not start to trend negative, the world will then be beyond all help. But--as usual--she gives no specifics on what people ought to do. That leaves us wide-open to any draconian "emergency measure" she cares to decree.
When do we stop supporting our enemies' efforts to enslave us?
Maurice Strong,
Founder of the UN Environmental Fund
We also need new ways of financing environment and development objectives. For example, emission permits that are tradeable internationally offer a means of making the most cost-effective use of funds devoted to pollution control while at the same time providing a non-budgetary means of effecting resource transfers. Taxes on polluting products or activities, like the C02 taxes now being levied or proposed by a number of countries, could also be devoted to financing of international environment and development measures. While none of these promising measures may be ripe for definitive action at this Conference, I would urge the Conference to put them on the priority agenda for the early post-Rio period.
Poverty
The devastating drought in southern Africa and the continuing plight of the victims of conflict and poverty in so many African countries are a grim reminder of the need for the world community to give special priority to the needs of Africa and to the least-developed countries everywhere. The tragedy is that poverty and hunger persist in a world never better able to eliminate them. This is surely a denial of the moral and ethical basis of our civilization as well as a threat to its survival.
Is this your philosophy as well EWV?

It isn't just fools with dysfunctional brains. They are spreading an evil, misanthropic philosophy attributing intrinsic value to nature, to be regarded as superior to man. That is much worse than just being fools. It's deliberate. To imply that they have poorly functioning brains lets them off the hook for responsibility for what they are doing. Cognitive determinism is not causing this.

You responded over twenty times and not once did you complain about out of context quotes.

Are you trying to make the case that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a Tragedy of the Commons on a grand scale?
Or just what case are you trying to make?
Same class of characters like Soros.
A quick internet search of the usual sources brings up the following two quotes of Maurice Strong,
-----------------------
1. What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal
risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world
is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing
their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group's conclusion is 'no'.
The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the
planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the
industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?
Maurice Strong in a 1992 interview concerning a book he would like to write.
In Gibson, Donald. Environmentalism: ideology and power. pg. 95
--------------------
2. If we don't change, our species will not survive... Frankly, we may get to the point
where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.
Maurice Strong, September 1, 1997 edition of National Review magazine
On the face of it, this is his opinion.
---------------------
My comment- quote 1 is a sort of a plot line line for book. From just that it not certain what he thinks. However quote 2, and several similar, are good evidence that he wants industrial civilization to collapse
and this is what he advocates.
Among them Maurice Strong was a director of Molten Metal Technology, Inc., an environmental technology company founded in 1989 that claimed to have innovative technology that could be used to recycle hazardous waste into reusable products. During the years 1992-1995, this innovation attracted approximately $25 million in research grants from the United States Department of Energy. Throughout the period of March 28, 1995 – October 18, 1996, (known as the “class period”), Molten Metal artificially inflated the price of their stock by materially misrepresenting the capability of its technology, namely through a series of public announcements. As of March 11, 1996 Strong owned approximately 40,000 shares of stock and another 262,000 shares were owned by a company of which Strong was Chairman.[21] The company filed for bankruptcy and the case was settled for $11.8 million, without a ruling of wrongdoing.[22]
(Not that I would have cast that particular actor to play EMT. I would have cast John Fiedler.)
Kind of reminded me of the transitions I saw in the early sixties in the Northeast.
WhoTF did this creature thing he was...limiting mankind will only lead to limited, if any, creation of value.
Novel or not...he was the most vial creature in existence...do not rest in peace. Unfortunately...many other equally vile creatures follow in his slimy foot steps.
I am sure your are aware...it is now called: Agenda 2030
I don't know you nearly well enough to do a thing like that. But I can judge the plausibility of anything somebody says.
And I have to tell you: that is the lamest excuse for a faux pas that I have ever heard: musing about a plot for a potential novel? Funny: Maurice Strong does not have a bibilography in fiction. His bibliography is in collectivistic exposition.
Tell you what: why don't you follow this search result:
https://www.ixquick.com/do/search?que...
and tell us what you think. You'll see that "musing about a plot for a potential novel" was the last thing on his mind.
Further research says he was a UN bureaucrat--and a self-dealing con artist--all his adult life. He lived his last days in China in flight from the law, after the UN Oil for Food scandal blew up.

I suspect, however, they really want to kill all of us first.
One should ask her...how did man, plants and animals survive when the carbon count was 3000 or even 8000 ppb?...think maybe that's when the sequoia's of the north west grew?...maybe the giant Nephilms? or even Dinosaurs???
I'm surprised that the left and the anti-lectuals haven't blamed obesity one have too much carbon in our atmosphere...remember, you heard that little ditty here first!..someone on the left will use it, I bet...
These people ignore simple scientific truths of what is taking place in the solar system itself. Why is the temperature of the sun drastically falling (a temperature hole of immense size has just manifested itself)? What impact has that or will that have on the climates of all planets in our solar system?
Why has there been measurable climate change (and global warming) on earth (and 3 of its sister planetary neighbors)?
Why did the Russian and French scientific team working in the antarctic discover from 10,000 year old ice core samples that it was earth warming that preceded the increase of Carbon Dioxide? This turns the argument (and conventional wisdom) of the "Global Warming" industry on its head and totally discredits the theory that trillions of dollars are currently being spent on!
If Science is refuted (the Man-made Global Warming cabal), then stupidity will have reigned supreme. In closing, the admonition to "follow the money" is (or at least should be) the prudent and intelligent (and honest) way to be followed!
The only emergency measures should be a real scientific debate on the entire issue of "Climate Change" that has cyclically been taking place for almost 4 billion years now! For what its worth...
AGW fanatics have done everything in their power to bury the Medieval warming period, which lasted from approx. 950-1250 AD.
This 300 year cycle alone is enough to deep-six their entire argument.
But lest we forget, they can't be bothered with facts.

But her "manifesto" was not the fictional description and "list of regulations" in the first third of the conservative blog linked to at the top of this thread.
But I do say the "curfews, candlelight and confiscation" scenario logically follows from the remarks she did make, and publish, during her tenure in office as ExecSec of UN-FCCC. If, that is, she is as serious about declaring a climate emergency as her remarks suggest, then she would look forward to issuing an emergency decree for just such enforcement action as I describe.
That's right: I. For I wrote the article, and I edit and publish the site in question.

There's more but I've stuff to go do.
This sounds like something from "Atlas Shrugged", how can the world economies could have any prosperity with the Draconian Measures as she states in her manifesto. She comes across a Fascist. For someone who loves screaming from the mountaintop ( the United Nations) that the world will be "Cooked" by 2020 she should be out there in the world with shovel in hand planting tree's. Could it be that Figueres doesn't like getting her hands dirty.

The brainwashing continues.
The UN is home to a large number of snowflakes (yes, there are snowflakes whose natural condition is that of a snowflake regardless of age).
They keep churning out rules that sovereign countries want nothing of, such as "controlling" the borders which of course means to let everyone in.
This woman is only one of the examples.
