Communism Best for Fighting Global Warming
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 17 Jan 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/18/2014 9:12:10 AM PST by John Semmens

United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres opined that communist governments would be better suited to combat global warming than governments trying to operate under democratic principles.

“The problem with democracy is that the ignorant masses have too much say in government policies,” Figueres complained. “Take the last 15 years in which there has been no increase in global temperature or the recent arctic type weather in the United States. This has caused many voters to discount the risk of global warming. Under communism, the will of the masses can easily be bypassed so policy can be determined by experts.”

The fact that China suffers from horrendous air pollution only bolstered Figueres enthusiasm for the communist system. “The particulate smog that chokes many of China’s urban areas serves to deflect sunlight that otherwise would warm the planet,” she pointed out. “This trade-off of greater respiratory distress for cooler temperatures would likely not be attainable in a democratic political environment. The difficulty breathing is a palpable phenomenon that distorts the average person’s judgment. Only a government that is independent of this distorted judgment can keep its focus on the longer term problem of global warming.”

Another positive cited by Figueres was the huge death toll attributed to communist regimes. “Just consider the added contribution the 90 million people killed by communist massacres, purges, and slave labor camps would have made to global warming had they lived,” Figueres observed. “Only communist governments can be counted on to make these kinds of sacrifices for the greater good of the planet.”

That's because Communist regimes have no problem murdering a few hundred million of their own citizens when they get in the way.

Well the Soviets did manage to cut drowning deaths in the Aral sea to near zero.

This says it all. And also describes how OUR OWN ‘ELECTED’ government officials see us.

The promotion of the global warming hoax is working just fine in China and North Korea. Catching on really well in Venezuela and Cuba also.

Working particularly well in countries that operate under Shari’a law, in addition to Communist regimes. Look at that world leader, Iran, working feverishly to convert their entire electric power network to nuclear source.

We know that the regime got the memo. It's part of their grand scheme.

We should all learn to look at the bright side of murderous, iron-fisted dictatorships.

Would those be the same experts that are being paid by the government to rig the science for the benefit of government propaganda to control the people

Funny how terribly some communist countries contribute to the factors that supposedly cause the non-existent upcoming catastrophe and how the proponents of this junk science have communism as their goal.

Once again, great piece John.
