U.N. accords can’t control climate: Opposing view

In the face of grave danger, world leaders have again decided to spin their wheels and attempt to control the Earth’s climate via a climate agreement. Instead of facing authentic threats such as terrorism, leaders will instead convene in Paris to try to elevate “climate change” as one of the gravest risks to humanity. This despite the fact that peer-reviewed studies have shown there is less human conflict during warmer eras than during colder ones.

Yet another United Nations climate summit is convening with claims that the world must act or face certain calamity. But left out of this discussion are many scientists skeptical of the scientific claims and goals behind the U.N. climate agenda. A top U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change official has stated that the panel’s objective is not necessarily climate, but to “redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.” The climate panel has proved to be nothing more than a political lobbying organization masquerading as a “science” body.

U.N. agreements will limit the economic growth of industrialized nations while further slowing growth in the developing world, where more than a billion people lack access to running water and electricity. So-called green energy from wind and solar is simply not ready to take over powering the world economy, but the U.N. agenda is to require that it replace the proven success of coal, oil and gas.

The U.N. summit’s goal of limiting the Earth’s temperature to a rise of no more than 2 degrees Celsius is also not based on science. The Climategate emails revealed that even U.N. scientists admitted that the 2-degree goal was “plucked out of thin air.”

The notion that a U.N. agreement to limit emissions will somehow alter the Earth’s temperature or storminess is bordering on belief in witchcraft.

If we faced a climate catastrophe and had to rely on the U.N. to save us, we’d all be doomed! Nothing the U.N. is proposing to “solve” climate change would have any measurable impact on temperatures or storminess, even if you accept the scientific claims.
