Climate OneĀ is a self described public affairs forum which advocates extreme action to combat climate change. It is a branch of The Commonwealth Club of California based in San Francisco, essentially a talking shop visited regularly by heads of government and corporate business.
Figueres is no stranger to controversial statements when it comes to climate change. The UN officialĀ previously describedĀ the goal of the UNFCC as āa complete transformation of the economic structure of the world.ā
She has also repeatedly said that aĀ Chinese style communist dictatorship is better suitedĀ than the U.S. constitutional system to fight āglobal warming.ā
Figueres told Bloomberg NewsĀ last year that the Chinese government (which continues to enforceĀ forced abortions,Ā infanticideĀ andĀ compulsory sterilization) is ādoing it rightā when it comes to climate change, even though China is by far the biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses.
Figueres noted that a partisan divide in the U.S. Congress is āvery detrimentalā to passing climate related legislation, while the Chinese Communist Party, sets policies by decree. President Obama clearly agrees given that he continues to bypass Congress byĀ issuing executive ordersĀ on climate change.
As InfoWars has continually noted, there is a fundamental flaw in associating climate change with overpopulation.
Populations in developed countries are declining and only in third world countries are they expanding dramatically. Industrialization itself levels out population trends and even despite this world population models routinely show that the earthās population will level out at 9 billion in 2050 and slowly decline after that. āThe population of the most developed countries will remain virtually unchanged at 1.2 billion until 2050,āĀ states a United Nations report. The UNās support for depopulation policies is in direct contradiction to their own findings.
Once a country industrializes there is an average of a 1.6 child rate per household, so the western world population is actually in decline. That trend has also been witnessed in areas of Asia like Japan and South Korea. The UN has stated that the population will peak at 9 billion and then begin declining.
In addition, as highlighted by the Economist,Ā global fertility ratesĀ are falling.
Since radical environmentalists are pushing to de-industrialize the world in the face of the so called carbon threat, this will reverse the trend that naturally lowers the amount of children people have. If climate change fanatics are allowed to implement their policies, global population will continue to increase and overpopulation may become a real problem ā another example of how the global warming hysterics are actually harming the long term environment of the Earth by preventing overpopulated countries from developing and naturally lowering their birth levels.
Even if you play devils advocate and accept that humansĀ doĀ cause catastrophic warming and thereĀ areĀ too many of us, and if you can skip past the eugenics connotations of population control and depopulation policies, those methods are fundamentallyĀ stillĀ not a valid solution to the perceived climate change threat.
The real solution would be to help increase the standard of living of the cripplingly poor third world, allowing those countries to industrialize, and seeing the population figures naturally level out.
Instead, the third world has seen aĀ doubling in food pricesĀ owing to climate change policies such as turning over huge areas of agricultural land to the growth of biofuels.
In addition,Ā Climate legislation continually pushedĀ Ā by the developed world has those nations taking on less of a burden than anticipated demanding more of poorer countries, despite the fact that any further cuts in CO2 emissions will further cripple their flimsy economies and poverty-stricken people.
Previous legislation, such as the Copenhagen agreement, allowed people in developed countries to emit twice as much carbon per head than those in poorer countries, who have not caused the rise in emissions said to be threatening our existence on the planet. The revelations have led third world leaders to accuse the developed world ofĀ āclimate colonialismā.
Linking environmental policy to depopulation agendasĀ opens the door to eugenicsĀ and it is no surprise that through that door have come pouring hordes of elitist filth just begging to be on the front line of the extermination policy.
One example is UK-based public policy group The Optimum Population Trust (OPT), which has previouslyĀ launched initiativesĀ urging wealthy members of the developed world to participate in carbon offsets that fund programs for curbing the population of developing nations.
In 2007, the group alsoĀ published a reportĀ announcing that children are ābad for planet and āhaving large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanour in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a big car and failing to reuse plastic bags.
The same talking point has been re-iteratedĀ again and againĀ byĀ public policy groupsĀ andĀ environmentalists, as well as the mostĀ influential scientists in the US government.
While you may think ideas of sterilization and depopulation could never be accepted by the public, those very concepts are now beingĀ embraced and popularizedĀ by some as the way forward for humanity.
The head of the UNās leading climate change panel is providing a platform, and in some cases actively pushing for a policy enforced by a dictatorship thatĀ hunts down mothers who become pregnantĀ with their second child, abducts them off the street and takes them to government controlled hospitals where they are drugged and their baby is killed ā all in the name of saving the planet.
