I don’t know why Michael Knowles believes this. But, from its inception, the agenda surrounding the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming has been led primarily by politicos, particularly from the UN.For many CAGW alarmists- UN officials, globalists, leftist politicians, greedy and unscrupulous bankers and other investors, radical environmentalists, and avowed socialists/communists, the theory of CAGW is not really about climate change. Rather it is about changing the political and economic systems of the world. Specifically, it is about instituting one world government, replacing capitalism and democracy with global authoritarian socialism, and markedly reducing global population (see proof of this below).“…the global warming rubric has provided an ideal platform to accomplish exactly what [former socialist Venezuelan president] Chavez has in mind…to enable the U.N. to advance large transformational visions of socialism, wealth redistribution, and ultimately, global governance.” The U.N.'s Global Warming War On Capitalism: An Important History Lesson“So-called Climate Change, aka Global Warming, is a neo-malthusian deindustrialization agenda originally developed by circles around the Rockefeller family in the early 1970’s to prevent rise of independent industrial rivals.” The Dark Story Behind Global Warming aka Climate ChangeThe UN and many of its globalist, socialist and environmentalist members and advisors, particularly oil billionaires Maurice Strong and David Rockefeller, along with Rockefeller’s Club of Rome, initially developed much of this scheme. It was formalized at the 1992 Rio Climate Conference (organized by Strong) as UN Agenda 21 or the Sustainable Development Agenda: “Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced; a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level … Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice … The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interest of the society as a whole.” David J.C. Shearman – No B-S here (I hope)Lest you believe this is just conspiracy theory (as so many alarmists try desperately to make us believe), read what many alarmists have admitted:Gus Hall, former leader of the Communist Party USA: “Human society cannot basically stop the destruction of the environment under capitalism. Socialism is the only structure that makes it possible.”UN Commission on Global Governance: "The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.""This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution." . Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history." - Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate ChangeFormer U.S. democrat Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, joined Maurice Strong in addressing the 1992 Climate Summit audience: “We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” (Wirth is now president of the U.N. Foundation which lobbies for $hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help underdeveloped countries "fight" climate change.) The U.N.'s Global Warming War On Capitalism: An Important History LessonChristine Stewart, then Canadian Minister of the Environment, speaking before editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald in 1998, said, “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_StewartDavid Brower, a founder of the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth: “The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature’s proper steward and society’s only hope.”Judi Bari, Principal organizer of Earth First! - "If we don't overthrow capitalism, we don't have a chance of saving the world ecologically. I think it is possible to have an ecologically sound society under socialism. I don't think it is possible under capitalism.” Reported in the New American March 7th, 2013 and "Starting from the very reasonable, but unfortunately revolutionary concept that social practices which threaten the continuation of life on Earth must be changed, we need a theory of revolutionary ecology that will encompass social and biological issues, class struggle, and a recognition of the role of global corporate capitalism in the oppression of peoples and the destruction of nature."

They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process…Capitalism is destroying the earth.”(By the way, according to the reference below, the Union of Concerned Scientists is a left-wing advocacy organization that spreads unscientific alarmism about environmental and energy topics. It is not a scientific organization although it is treated as one by the press and others ignorant of its true political agendas. It began as a leftist anti-Vietnam War group and now promotes catastrophic CO2 global warming, anti-nuclear energy, anti-GMO, radical environmental stances, and other left-wing agendas. Apparently anyone can join for $25 to become a “concerned scientist”. Though founded in 1969 by faculty and students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, UCS’ mission from the beginning has never been the pursuit of knowledge through scientific discovery. It has instead pursued left-wing advocacy on technology, environmental, and energy issues—regardless of what the scientific data have shown. Union of Concerned Scientists - Left Exposed Its president is not a scientist but a lifelong political activist. He is close to Al Gore and former democrat senator and CO2 global warming alarmist, Tim Wirth, who commented about the theory of CAGW this way: "we've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." (Not surprisingly, after Wirth left the Senate and the Clinton administration he ended up at the United Nations as president of the UN Foundation.

They arrived at this analysis by taking a hard look at what it would take to lower global emissions as drastically and as rapidly as climate science demands. They have concluded that this can be done only by radically reordering our economic and political systems in ways antithetical to their “free market” belief system. As British blogger and Heartland regular James Delingpole has pointed out, 'Modern environmentalism successfully advances many of the causes dear to the left: redistribution of wealth, higher taxes, greater government intervention, regulation.' Heartland’s Bast puts it even more bluntly: For the left, 'Climate change is the perfect thing…. It’s the reason why we should do everything [the left] wanted to do anyway.'

But whenever available, I have included the entire context and/or the reference from which quotes were taken. One can look and see for themselves that the quotes express exactly what is indicated. No amount of spin will change that.For a deeper understanding of the political ideology driving the CAGW scam, it is imperative to look briefly at history. WWII devastated the infrastructure and economies of Europe and Japan. The US developed the Marshall Plan (the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948) with help from the left-of-center think tank, the Brookings Institute as requested by then Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Arthur Vandenberg. Although a Republican, Vandenberg rejected nationalism and embraced “internationalism”. He strongly supported FDR’s founding of the United Nations.Internationalism is an important component of socialist political theory, based on the principle that working-class people of all countries must unite across national boundaries and actively oppose nationalism and war in order to overthrow capitalism…Internationalism (politics) - Wikipedia The ideal for many internationalists is to create democratic socialist globalization and a one-world government.Ironically, the Marshall Plan was initially developed as a foreign aid plan to the devastated European nations in part to deter the advance of Soviet communism. The US sent the current equivalent of $100 billion to these nations, which was meant to cease once they had recovered. But in 1951, the Marshall Plan was replaced by the Mutual Security Act of 1951, which was replaced by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which continued $billions in economic aid to portions of Europe along with parts of Asia and South/Central America.Of course, economic aid continues today and has expanded to numerous other countries even though the Cold War ended decades ago. Many of these nations were allowed to raise tariffs against American products while the US usually did not reciprocate. While aid to wealthy western nations has essentially ceased (except for the $billions in military protection the US continues to provide), many of these nations have maintained tariffs on American imports. Thus, since WWII, America has already been redistributing much of its wealth to scores of nations around the world. Again, ironically, many conservatives supported foreign aid to prevent the spread of communism, while much of the drive for this continued wealth redistribution from leftists and globalists was based upon the desire to “fundamentally transform” American exceptionalism and nationalism into internationalism by the redistribution of American wealth and power (anyone recall that phrase, “fundamentally transform”, from Obama’s speeches?).So this is the historical link between the UN goal of internationalism and its goal for the redistribution of American wealth/power to other nations via its fraudulent CAGW campaign. But instead of $billions, it is now $trillions. (It is also simple to comprehend one of the primary reasons the left/socialists/globalist elites loathe Trump and his reciprocal tariffs meant to diminish the flow of jobs and wealth to foreign nations! He is the first president to attempt this since 1948, and the left is trying desperately to make him fail and remove him from office by any means in order to keep him from pursuing his goal of keeping America a sovereign, highly successful capitalist nation and world leader. To them the ends justify their Machiavellian means.)So the CAGW agenda has been led primarily by the UN, particularly the IPCC, and leftist politicians, radical leftist environmentalists, and other socialists. But over the years, wealthy bankers, greedy politicians and other investors have realized that the “green agenda” is a potential gold mine. Certainly Al Gore has cashed in on it. When running for president in 1999, he reported a net worth of $1.7 million. Since then, he has been involved in multiple lucrative climate-related business ventures and served on the boards of numerous high-profile companies like Google and Apple, often because of his public image as a savior of the planet from CAGW. As of 2013, his fortune was estimated at $200 million, a good chunk of which was derived from climate change-related business.Gore was one of the early promoters of the Chicago Climate Exchange (along with Enron!) He, President Obama, and others lobbied feverishly to have CO2 “Cap-and-Trade” legislation passed by Congress, which would have mandated all industries that produced CO2 to either limit their production of CO2 or purchase carbon credit “off-sets” from companies that started with excess credits or which lowered their production enough to sell their excess supply of CO2 credits, all via transactions through the Chicago Climate (commodities) Exchange! In essence, CO2 emissions could initially remain the same, or even increase, for companies willing to pay the additional cost. However, over time, CO2 emission levels were to be sequentially lowered, which would have driven the price of carbon credits (and the Exchange’s stock price) higher and higher. At its founding, it was estimated that the size of the Exchange’s carbon trading market could reach $500 billion. That estimate ballooned over the years to $10 trillion! R.I.P.: Al Gore’s Chicago Climate Exchange Has Died | National ReviewOf course, huge commissions would have been made in the buying and selling process, just like any other commodities trading. And lots of big investors (including Gore and other CAGW promoters) wanted to get in on the action. Goldman-Sachs was the largest shareholder owning 18% of the Exchange. Al Gore, with three former Goldman Sachs bankers, together made up the fifth largest. According to figures released by the Federal Election Commission, Goldman Sachs was also heavily invested in the Obama presidency. Goldman's PAC and individual Goldman contributors made up the campaign's second-largest donation, nearly $1 million.But without the needed legislation (which was never passed by republican congressional majorities), the Exchange could not generate the huge profits envisioned by its wealthy investors. In 2010 it was bought by Intercontinental Exchange (a publicly-traded commodities exchange company). Included in the sale was the European Climate Exchange (still quite profitable because of all of the global warming legislation passed across the EU) for over $600 million. Obviously the original investors made a chunk of change from the sale.“Unlike most real markets, the carbon market was created by banks and governments so that new investment opportunities could seamlessly dovetail with specific government policies. It’s a fantasy casino based on a doctrine of pure science fiction…Placed in its proper historical context, we can see that the man-made global warming movement was a classic merger of radical Collectivist ideas and huge financial opportunities… Never has the world seen a more stunning collusion between government (include the UN here) and big business” - The Great Collapse of the Chicago Climate Exchange - 21st Century Wire“A $16.3 trillion public investment [i.e., increased federal taxes] is necessary to make those [climate change] goals a reality, which falls in line with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who said any viable climate change plan needed to come with a $10 trillion price tag – at least– in order to ‘have a shot’.” Bernie Sanders Unveils Massive $16 Trillion Green New Deal PlanIn the end, the public (consumers and taxpayers) pay the $trillions that the CAGW scam is costing, with $billions of that money going into the pockets of “green” investors and businesses, all pushing the CAGW theory.Bernie Sanders Is Open To A ‘Meat Tax’ To Combat Climate Change(Guess who’s voting for Bernie):“Al Gore is standing to rake in $millions from a World Resources Institute meat consumption reduction report, one that will certainly help boost profits for the meat substitute manufacturers – in which Gore just happens to be a big stakeholder! Gore, partner and advisor to Kleiner Perkins, Beyond Meat’s big investor, stands to haul in $millions, should governments move to restrict real meat consumption” (Or institute a meat tax!) Climate Hustler, Partner At ‘Beyond Meat’ Largest Investor, Al Gore Moves To Profit Big From Anti-Meat DriveBut Gore is small potatoes compared to others hoping to rake in $trillions, who are also fervently pushing the CAGW agenda, albeit behind the scenes of course:“A key player in the linking of world financial institutions with the Green Agenda is outgoing Bank of England head Mark Carney. In December 2015, the [globalist] Bank for International Settlements’ Financial Stability Board (FSB), chaired then by Carney, created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), to advise ‘investors, lenders and insurance about climate related risks.’ That was certainly a bizarre focus for world central bankers.“In 2016 the TCFD along with the City of London Corporation [the financial center of England] and the UK Government initiated the Green Finance Initiative, aiming to channel trillions of dollars to ‘green’ investments. The central bankers of the FSB nominated 31 people to form the TCFD. Chaired by billionaire Michael Bloomberg of the Financial Wire, it includes key people from JP MorganChase; from BlackRock–one of the world’s biggest asset managers with almost $7 trillion; Barclays Bank; HSBC, the London-Hong Kong bank repeatedly fined for laundering drug and other black funds; Swiss Re, the world’s second largest reinsurance; China’s ICBC bank; Tata Steel, ENI oil, Dow Chemical, mining giant BHP Billington and David Blood of Al Gore’s Generation Investment LLC. In effect it seems the foxes are writing the rules for the new Green Hen House.“Bank of England’s Carney was also a key actor in efforts to make the City of London into the financial center of global Green Finance. The outgoing UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, in July 2019 released a White Paper, ‘Green Finance Strategy: Transforming Finance for a Greener Future.’ The paper states, ‘One of the most influential initiatives to emerge is the Financial Stability Board’s private sector Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), supported by Mark Carney and chaired by Michael Bloomberg [2020 US democratic presidential primary candidate]. This has been endorsed by institutions representing $118 trillion of assets globally.’ There seems to be a plan here. The plan is the financialization of the entire world economy using fear of an end of world scenario to reach arbitrary aims such as ‘net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.’“The links between the world’s largest financial groups, central banks and global corporations to the current push for a radical climate strategy to abandon the fossil fuel economy in favor of a vague, unexplained Green economy, it seems, is less about genuine concern to make our planet a clean and healthy environment to live. Rather it is an agenda, intimately tied to the UN Agenda 2030 for ‘sustainable’ economy, and to developing literally trillions of dollars in new wealth for the global banks and financial giants who constitute the real powers that be.“In February 2019 following a speech to the EU Commission in Brussels by Greta Thunberg, then-EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, after gallantly kissing Greta’s hand, appeared to be moved to real action. He told Greta and the press that the EU should spend hundreds of billions of euros combating climate change during the next 10 years. Juncker proposed that between 2021 to 2027, ‘every fourth euro spent within the EU budget go toward action to mitigate climate change.’ What the sly Juncker did not say was that the decision had nothing to do with the young Swedish activist’s plea. It had been made in conjunction with the World Bank a full year before in September 26, 2018 at the One Planet Summit, along with the World Bank, Bloomberg Foundations, the World Economic Forum and others. Juncker had cleverly used the media attention given the young Swede to promote his climate agenda.“On October 17, 2018, days following the EU agreement at the One Planet Summit, Juncker’s EU signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Breakthrough Energy-Europe in which member corporations of Breakthrough Energy-Europe will have preferential access to any funding.“The members of Breakthrough Energy include Virgin Air’s Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Alibaba’s Jack Ma, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, HRH Prince Al-waleed bin Talal, Bridgewater Associates’ Ray Dalio; Julian Robertson of hedge fund giant, Tiger Management; David Rubenstein, founder Carlyle Group; George Soros, Chairman Soros Fund Management LLC; Masayoshi Son, founder Softbank, Japan.“Make no mistake. When the most influential multinational corporations, the world’s largest institutional investors including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs, the UN, the World Bank, the Bank of England and other central banks of the BIS line up behind the financing of a so-called green Agenda, call it Green New Deal or what, it is time to look behind the surface of public climate activist campaigns to the actual agenda. The picture that emerges is the attempted financial reorganization of the world economy using climate, something the sun and its energy have orders of magnitude more to do with than mankind ever could—to try to convince us ordinary folk to make untold sacrifice to ‘save our planet.’” [while making themselves richer than God!] https://www.globalresearch.ca/climate-money-trail/5690209Yes, there are many climate scientists who are very outspoken about CAGW, such as James Hansen and Michael Mann. But the real power behind the “green agenda” lies in the UN, politicians, wealthy elitists, investors and bankers, radical environmentalists, globalists and socialists. It’s a reprehensible and sinister money-making plot and scam on the entire world’s population. But feel free to obey and hand over your financial assets and constantly increasing tax payments to these greedy charlatans and mendacious politicians.

The article you reference is like most other articles fallaciously claiming the global warming “science is settled”. It’s primarily opinion derived from otherwise inconclusive or manipulated data.It’s utterly absurd to claim that the theory of CAGW has been proven or even validated by the scientific method. It hasn’t. It is still just hypothesis based upon correlation; partially estimated, extrapolated, manipulated, and manufactured temperature data; flawed and manipulated computer models using the manipulated temperature data and “educated” guesses of climate sensitivity to CO2; and an incomplete understanding of how CO2 affects climate combined with an unproven hypothesis speculating that “greenhouse gases” warm the earth in violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.There is an immense amount of information contradicting the theory of CAGW, including dozens of failed computer model predictions, published evidence of mendacity by climate alarmist scientists, contradictory temperature measurements, non-correlation of CO2 and global temps, etc. Thousands of scientists have gone on record denouncing the theory as fraudulent and/or exaggerated. Many climate alarmists have even admitted they have exaggerated their claims and conslusions. Others have changed from alarmists to skeptics.And we now know that the primary driving forces behind the global warming scam are the usual suspects- money and power:For many CAGW alarmists- UN officials, globalists, leftist politicians, greedy and unscrupulous bankers and other investors, radical environmentalists, and avowed socialists/communists, the theory of CAGW is not really about climate change. Rather it is about changing the political and economic systems of the world. Specifically, it is about instituting one world government, replacing capitalism and democracy with global authoritarian socialism, and markedly reducing global population as illustrated below.“…the global warming rubric has provided an ideal platform to accomplish exactly what [former socialist Venezuelan president] Chavez has in mind…to enable the U.N. to advance large transformational visions of socialism, wealth redistribution, and ultimately, global governance.” The U.N.'s Global Warming War On Capitalism: An Important History Lesson“So-called Climate Change, aka Global Warming, is a neo-malthusian deindustrialization agenda originally developed by circles around the Rockefeller family in the early 1970’s to prevent rise of independent industrial rivals.” The Dark Story Behind Global Warming aka Climate ChangeThe UN and many of its globalist, socialist and environmentalist members and advisors, particularly oil billionaires Maurice Strong and David Rockefeller, along with Rockefeller’s Club of Rome, initially developed much of this scheme.

Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history." - Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate ChangeFormer U.S. democrat Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, joined Maurice Strong in addressing the 1992 Climate Summit audience: “We have got to ride the global warming issue.

I don't think it is possible under capitalism.” Reported in the New American March 7th, 2013 and "Starting from the very reasonable, but unfortunately revolutionary concept that social practices which threaten the continuation of life on Earth must be changed, we need a theory of revolutionary ecology that will encompass social and biological issues, class struggle, and a recognition of the role of global corporate capitalism in the oppression of peoples and the destruction of nature." Starting from the very reasonable, but unfortunately revolutionary conceptHelen Caldicott, an Australian physician and a leading member of the leftist political organization Union of Concerned Scientists: “Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process…Capitalism is destroying the earth.”(By the way, according to the reference below, the Union of Concerned Scientists is a left-wing advocacy organization that spreads unscientific alarmism about environmental and energy topics. It is not a scientific organization although it is treated as one by the press and others ignorant of its true political agendas. It began as a leftist anti-Vietnam War group and now promotes the theory of catastrophic CO2 global warming, anti-nuclear energy, anti-GMO, radical environmental stances, and other left-wing agendas. Apparently anyone can join for $25 to become a “concerned scientist”. Though founded in 1969 by faculty and students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, UCS’ mission from the beginning has never been the pursuit of knowledge through scientific discovery. It has instead pursued left-wing advocacy on technology, environmental, and energy issues—regardless of what the scientific data have shown. Union of Concerned Scientists - Left Exposed Its president is not a scientist but a lifelong political activist. He is close to Al Gore and former democrat senator and CO2 global warming alarmist, Tim Wirth, who commented about the theory of CAGW this way: "we've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." (Not surprisingly, after Wirth left the Senate and the Clinton administration he ended up at the United Nations as president of the UN Foundation.

They arrived at this analysis by taking a hard look at what it would take to lower global emissions as drastically and as rapidly as climate science demands. They have concluded that this can be done only by radically reordering our economic and political systems in ways antithetical to their “free market” belief system. As British blogger and Heartland regular James Delingpole has pointed out, 'Modern environmentalism successfully advances many of the causes dear to the left: redistribution of wealth, higher taxes, greater government intervention, regulation.' Heartland’s Bast puts it even more bluntly: For the left, 'Climate change is the perfect thing…. It’s the reason why we should do everything [the left] wanted to do anyway.' Here’s my inconvenient truth: they aren’t wrong... arriving at these new systems is going to require shredding the free-market ideology that has dominated the global economy for more than three decades.

But whenever available, I have included the entire context and/or the reference from which quotes were obtained. One can look and see for themselves that the quotes express exactly what is indicated. No amount of spin will change that.For a deeper understanding of the political ideology driving the CAGW scam, it is imperative to look briefly at history. WWII devastated the infrastructure and economies of Europe and Japan. The US developed the Marshall Plan (the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948) with help from the left-of-center think tank, the Brookings Institute as requested by then Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Arthur Vandenberg. Although a Republican, Vandenberg rejected nationalism and embraced “internationalism”. He strongly supported FDR’s founding of the United Nations.Internationalism is an important component of socialist political theory, based on the principle that working-class people of all countries must unite across national boundaries and actively oppose nationalism and war in order to overthrow capitalism…Internationalism (politics) - Wikipedia The ideal for many internationalists is to create socialist globalization and a one-world government.Ironically, the Marshall Plan was initially developed as a foreign aid plan to the devastated European nations in part to deter the advance of Soviet communism. The US sent the current equivalent of $100 billion to these nations, which was meant to cease once they had recovered. But in 1951, the Marshall Plan was replaced by the Mutual Security Act of 1951, which was replaced by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which continued $billions in economic aid to portions of Europe along with parts of Asia and South/Central America.Of course, economic aid continues today and has expanded to numerous other countries even though the Cold War ended decades ago. Many of these nations were allowed to raise tariffs against American products while the US usually did not reciprocate. While aid to wealthy western nations has essentially ceased (except for the $billions in military protection the US continues to provide), many of these nations have maintained tariffs on American imports. Thus, since WWII, America has already been redistributing much of its wealth to scores of nations around the world. Again, ironically, many conservatives supported foreign aid to prevent the spread of communism, while much of the drive for this continued wealth redistribution from leftists and globalists was based upon the desire to “fundamentally transform” American exceptionalism and nationalism into internationalism by the redistribution of American wealth and power (anyone recall that phrase, “fundamentally transform”, from Obama’s speeches?).So this is the historical link between the UN goal of internationalism and its goal for the redistribution of American wealth/power to other nations via its fraudulent CAGW campaign. But instead of $billions, it is now $trillions. (It is also simple to comprehend one of the primary reasons the left/socialists/globalist elites loathe Trump and his reciprocal tariffs meant to diminish the flow of jobs and wealth to foreign nations! He is the first president to attempt this since 1948, and the left is trying desperately to make him fail and remove him from office by any means in order to keep him from pursuing his goal of keeping America a sovereign, highly successful capitalist nation and world leader. To them the ends justify their Machiavellian means.)So the CAGW agenda has been led primarily by the UN, particularly the IPCC, and leftist politicians, radical leftist environmentalists, and other socialists. But over the years, wealthy bankers, greedy politicians and other investors have realized that the “green agenda” is a potential gold mine. Certainly Al Gore has cashed in on it. When running for president in 1999, he reported a net worth of $1.7 million. Since then, he has been involved in multiple lucrative climate-related business ventures and served on the boards of numerous high-profile companies like Google and Apple, often because of his public image as a savior of the planet from CAGW. As of 2013, his fortune was estimated at $200 million, a good chunk of which was derived from climate change-related business.Gore was one of the early promoters of the Chicago Climate Exchange (along with Enron!) He, President Obama, and others lobbied feverishly to have CO2 “Cap-and-Trade” legislation passed by Congress, which would have mandated all industries that produced CO2 to either limit their production of CO2 or purchase carbon credit “off-sets” from companies that started with excess credits or which lowered their production enough to sell their excess supply of CO2 credits, all via transactions through the Chicago Climate (commodities) Exchange! In essence, CO2 emissions could initially remain the same, or even increase, for companies willing to pay the additional cost. However, over time, CO2 emission levels were to be sequentially lowered, which would have driven the price of carbon credits (and the Exchange’s stock price) higher and higher. At its founding, it was estimated that the size of the Exchange’s carbon trading market could reach $500 billion. That estimate ballooned over the years to $10 trillion! R.I.P.: Al Gore’s Chicago Climate Exchange Has Died | National ReviewOf course, huge commissions would have been made in the buying and selling process, just like any other commodities trading. And lots of big investors (including Gore and other CAGW promoters) wanted to get in on the action. Goldman-Sachs was the largest shareholder owning 18% of the Exchange. Al Gore, with three former Goldman Sachs bankers, together made up the fifth largest. According to figures released by the Federal Election Commission, Goldman Sachs was also heavily invested in the Obama presidency. Goldman's PAC and individual Goldman contributors made up the campaign's second-largest donation, nearly $1 million.But without the needed legislation (which was never passed by republican congressional majorities), the Exchange could not generate the huge profits envisioned by its wealthy investors. In 2010 it was bought by Intercontinental Exchange (a publicly-traded commodities exchange company). Included in the sale was the European Climate Exchange (still quite profitable because of all of the global warming legislation passed across the EU) for over $600 million. Obviously the original investors made a chunk of change from the sale.“Unlike most real markets, the carbon market was created by banks and governments so that new investment opportunities could seamlessly dovetail with specific government policies. It’s a fantasy casino based on a doctrine of pure science fiction…Placed in its proper historical context, we can see that the man-made global warming movement was a classic merger of radical Collectivist ideas and huge financial opportunities… Never has the world seen a more stunning collusion between government (include the UN here) and big business” - The Great Collapse of the Chicago Climate Exchange - 21st Century Wire“A $16.3 trillion public investment [i.e., increased federal taxes] is necessary to make those [climate change] goals a reality, which falls in line with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who said any viable climate change plan needed to come with a $10 trillion price tag – at least– in order to ‘have a shot’.” Bernie Sanders Unveils Massive $16 Trillion Green New Deal PlanIn the end, the public (consumers and taxpayers) pay the $trillions that the CAGW scam is costing, with $billions of that money going into the pockets of “green” investors and businesses, all pushing the CAGW theory.Bernie Sanders Is Open To A ‘Meat Tax’ To Combat Climate Change(Guess who’s voting for Bernie):“Al Gore is standing to rake in $millions from a World Resources Institute meat consumption reduction report, one that will certainly help boost profits for the meat substitute manufacturers – in which Gore just happens to be a big stakeholder! Gore, partner and advisor to Kleiner Perkins, Beyond Meat’s big investor, stands to haul in $millions, should governments move to restrict real meat consumption” (Or institute an onerous meat tax!) Climate Hustler, Partner At ‘Beyond Meat’ Largest Investor, Al Gore Moves To Profit Big From Anti-Meat DriveBut Gore is small potatoes compared to others hoping to rake in $trillions, who are also fervently pushing the CAGW agenda, albeit behind the scenes of course:“A key player in the linking of world financial institutions with the Green Agenda is outgoing Bank of England head Mark Carney. In December 2015, the [globalist] Bank for International Settlements’ Financial Stability Board (FSB), chaired then by Carney, created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), to advise ‘investors, lenders and insurance about climate related risks.’ That was certainly a bizarre focus for world central bankers.“In 2016 the TCFD along with the City of London Corporation [the financial center of England] and the UK Government initiated the Green Finance Initiative, aiming to channel trillions of dollars to ‘green’ investments. The central bankers of the FSB nominated 31 people to form the TCFD. Chaired by billionaire Michael Bloomberg [2020 candidate for the US democratic presidential primary], it includes key people from JP MorganChase; from BlackRock–one of the world’s biggest asset managers with almost $7 trillion; Barclays Bank; HSBC, the London-Hong Kong bank repeatedly fined for laundering drug and other black funds; Swiss Re, the world’s second largest reinsurance; China’s ICBC bank; Tata Steel, ENI oil, Dow Chemical, mining giant BHP Billington and David Blood of Al Gore’s Generation Investment LLC. In effect it seems the foxes are writing the rules for the new Green Hen House.“Bank of England’s Carney was also a key actor in efforts to make the City of London into the financial center of global Green Finance. The outgoing UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, in July 2019 released a White Paper, ‘Green Finance Strategy: Transforming Finance for a Greener Future.’ The paper states, ‘One of the most influential initiatives to emerge is the Financial Stability Board’s private sector Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), supported by Mark Carney and chaired by Michael Bloomberg. This has been endorsed by institutions representing $118 trillion of assets globally.’ There seems to be a plan here. The plan is the financialization of the entire world economy using fear of an end of world scenario to reach arbitrary aims such as ‘net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.’“The links between the world’s largest financial groups, central banks and global corporations to the current push for a radical climate strategy to abandon the fossil fuel economy in favor of a vague, unexplained Green economy, it seems, is less about genuine concern to make our planet a clean and healthy environment to live. Rather it is an agenda, intimately tied to the UN Agenda 2030 for ‘sustainable’ economy, and to developing literally trillions of dollars in new wealth for the global banks and financial giants who constitute the real powers that be.“In February 2019 following a speech to the EU Commission in Brussels by Greta Thunberg, then-EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, after gallantly kissing Greta’s hand, appeared to be moved to real action. He told Greta and the press that the EU should spend hundreds of billions of euros combating climate change during the next 10 years. Juncker proposed that between 2021 to 2027, ‘every fourth euro spent within the EU budget go toward action to mitigate climate change.’ What the sly Juncker did not say was that the decision had nothing to do with the young Swedish activist’s plea. It had been made in conjunction with the World Bank a full year before in September 26, 2018 at the One Planet Summit, along with the World Bank, Bloomberg Foundations, the World Economic Forum and others. Juncker had cleverly used the media attention given the young Swede to promote his climate agenda.“On October 17, 2018, days following the EU agreement at the One Planet Summit, Juncker’s EU signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Breakthrough Energy-Europe in which member corporations of Breakthrough Energy-Europe will have preferential access to any funding.“The members of Breakthrough Energy include Virgin Air’s Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Alibaba’s Jack Ma, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, HRH Prince Al-waleed bin Talal, Bridgewater Associates’ Ray Dalio; Julian Robertson of hedge fund giant, Tiger Management; David Rubenstein, founder Carlyle Group; George Soros, Chairman Soros Fund Management LLC; Masayoshi Son, founder Softbank, Japan.“Make no mistake. When the most influential multinational corporations, the world’s largest institutional investors including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs, the UN, the World Bank, the Bank of England and other central banks of the BIS line up behind the financing of a so-called green Agenda, call it Green New Deal or what, it is time to look behind the surface of public climate activist campaigns to the actual agenda. The picture that emerges is the attempted financial reorganization of the world economy using climate, something the sun and its energy have orders of magnitude more to do with than mankind ever could—to try to convince us ordinary folk to make untold sacrifice to ‘save our planet.’” [while making themselves richer than God!] https://www.globalresearch.ca/climate-money-trail/5690209Yes, there are many climate scientists who are very outspoken about CAGW, such as James Hansen and Michael Mann. But the real power behind the “green agenda” lies in the UN, politicians, wealthy elitists, investors and bankers, radical environmentalists, globalists and socialists. It’s a reprehensible and sinister money-making plot and scam on the entire world’s population. But feel free to obey and hand over your financial assets and constantly increasing tax payments to these greedy charlatans and mendacious politicians.
