The only name calling I see in this thread is those who like to call me and others "deniers" (with dripping venom). Yet those same people can't seem to realize they deny the existence of many scientists who disagree with their conclusions. Move on, the science is settled they say! Oh wait, I should put quotes around the word scientists to denote those aren't real scientists. Personal attack when others don't agree. Right out of Rules for Radicals.
Motivation? As has already been stated, FOLLOW THE MONEY! It's all about money, control, and do whatever you can to bring down the bad bad bad USA. The solutions proposed do little or nothing to help the climate problem as the GW crowd sees it, but that's not important. What is important is that we care and it makes us feel good to truly care and want to help.
Rep David McKinley from WV during a congressional hearing on the "Clean Power Plan" asked EPA Administrator
Gina McCarthy about the CPP, “If it doesn’t have an
impact on climate change around the world, why are
we subjecting our hardworking taxpayers and men and
women in the coal fields to something that has no
benefit?”
McCarthy’s answer: “We see it as having had enormous
benefit in showing sort of domestic leadership as
well as garnering support around the country for the
agreement we reached in Paris.” Translation: The reason
for the CPP is NOT to actually prevent or even slow climate
change. Instead, the CPP’s real value is to make someone feel good about trying.
What is the goal of these Paris negotiations? Christiana
Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention
on Climate Change, said, “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.
... 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.”
What is the reigning economic development model since the industrial revolution? Capitalism! At least she gets right to the point. :(
Dr. Ottmar Edenhoefer
of Germany was co-chair from 2008 to 2015 of the
United Nations (U.N.) Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) working group on “Mitigation
of Climate Change.” During a 2010 interview, Dr. Edenhoefer
said, “One has to free oneself from the illusion
that international climate policy is environmental policy.
This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone side. …. But
one must say clearly that we redistribute the world’s wealth by
climate policy.”
