White House Announces ‘Goal of Ensuring Climate Smart Citizenry’

The White House Science and Technology Advisor, says an initiative is underway “with the goal of ensuring a climate smart citizenry in the United States.”

“In December of last year the White House Climate Education and Literacy Initiative was launched--with the goal of ensuring a climate smart citizenry in the United States,” Dr. John Holdren says in a White House video released last week.

“Whenever I can I use opportunities like this ‘Ask Dr. H’ initiative to communicate about climate change and the strong scientific underpinnings of our actions to combat it.”

“Based on our scientific understanding of climate change the administration is continuing to develop and implement a number of policies to cut carbon pollution in America, to prepare for the climate impacts that cannot be avoided, and to work with the international community so best practices for emissions reductions and building resilience are embraced everywhere,” Holdren continues.

A December 2014 White House press release announcing the effort says, “In response to an initial call to action made in October, more than 150 activities, projects, and ideas were submitted by individuals and organizations across the country, from more than 30 states. These included a diverse array of innovative approaches being implemented in K-12 classrooms, on college and university campuses, and in zoos, parks, aquariums, and museums to educate and engage students and citizens of all ages. Today’s launch includes a number of exciting new commitments by Federal agencies and outside groups.”

Among the efforts listed by federal agencies include “leveraging digital games to enhance climate education” by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and using the National Park Service (NPS), “the plan will assist NPS interpretive managers and practitioners in the creation and delivery of effective climate-change messages in the programs and exhibits across all National Parks.”

"If you want “climate smart citizenry”, the first thing you do is fire all the professors and weather “scientists” who claim the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has some totally disproportionate effect on the overall global temperature. Without that stupidity being bandied about, the average IQ of the whole world would go up immediately."

Carbon dioxide comprises about 4/100ths of ONE PERCENT of the atmosphere, yet it is considered by alarmists to be pretty much the only significant driver of climate change. I admit I am not a scientist, but somehow that seems dubious to me.

When communism didn’t work, the left turned to environmentalism. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev founded Green Cross International, and was involved in the Earth Charter. By hiding behind these type of organizations, and promoting environmental laws, communism were/are able to attack our capitalist economy. Environmental laws also affect private property rights. A capitalist economy and private property rights defines a free nation. It is obvious what the goal of climate change is.

Yes, there are strong scientific underpinnings to the proven FACT that you must sacrifice a chicken at midnight every new moon to prevent global cooling .... uhh ... global warming ... uhhhh ... CLIMATE CHANGE.

The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate Goebbels (thanks clearcarbon) warming purposes. So if the WH really wants the constitutional authority to address the issue then it must do the following.

The WH must encourage Congress to propose a Goebbels warming amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify the amendment then the feds will have the constitutional authority to officially address such issues and the WH will be a hero.

And don’t forget the many dangers posed by that much more common material, dihydrogen monoxide. We should ban DHMO! Or at least tax it heavily.

Fortunately, there are great resources on mitigating the harmful effects of this insidious molecule at the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division:

Just remember: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength!

All of which are being presented by the current administration.

"Holdren was involved in the famous Simon–Ehrlich wager in 1980. He, along with two other scientists helped Paul R. Ehrlich establish the bet with Julian Simon, in which they bet that the price of five key metals would be higher in 1990. The bet was centred around a disagreement concerning the future scarcity of resources in an increasingly polluted and heavily populated world. Ehrlich and Holdren lost the bet, when the price of metals had decreased by 1990."

Holdren is another one who thinks there are too many people, but he won't leave.

“”The White House Science and Technology Advisor”
I just appointed myself The Citizen’s Bullshit Spotterr And Advisor “

I second your appointment....

John Holdren, the former/current science czar

He was confirmed with little fanfare on March 19 [2009] as director of the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, a 50-person directorate that advises the president on scientific affairs, focusing on energy independence and global warming.....

President Obama’s “science czar,” John Holdren, once floated the idea of ***forced abortions, “compulsory sterilization,” and the creation of a “Planetary Regime”*** that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet.....

But many of Holdren’s radical ideas on population control were not brought up at his confirmation hearings; it appears that the senators who scrutinized him had no knowledge of the contents of a textbook he co-authored in 1977, “Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment,” a copy of which was obtained by FOXNews.com.

The 1,000-page course book, which was co-written with environmental activists Paul and Anne Ehrlich......

Obama’s Science Czar John P. Holdren Confronted on Population Control
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fElM6Ov1TIg

From the YouTube blurb-—May 9, 2013

During a Q&A segment at a science & technology speech given by President Obama’s Science Czar, John P. Holdren, Luke Rudkowski asked him about the statements made in his 1977 book, Ecoscience. In this book, Holdren outlined ways to handle “overpopulation” which included forced abortions and sterilization. Despite co-authoring this book and telling Congress that his beliefs in depopulation has changed, Holdren claimed that he never held those beliefs in the first place.

Dr. John Holdren says

In 1969, this Science genius wrote a book assuring us that, no matter the advances in technology, the US could never be able to feed the 280 million people we would have living here in 2040 (71 years from the time of his publication.).

There were 210 million in the US in 1969. We passed 280 million before 2000 (in 31 years, beating that part of his prediction by 40 years). We have yet to feel one bit of the "misery" that he foretold, while he was assuring us that we needed to allow government in install population controls (not unlike China's One Child policy). THIS is who is telling us that we must be "educated" in the ways that he demands, rather than letting the scientific method do its work.

America's biggest political problem is not eliminating every danmned appointee and committee previous presidents pull out of their collective asses.

The muslim brotherhood (f'finstance) is here to stay because whoever gets in .. even Ted Cruz .. will not fire or eliminate them because of PC or even a direct threat.

I can prove that statement/theory by examining law(s) .... How many laws are ever rescinded ?

I recall sometime in the last ten years or so, a thread was posted here about some sort of WW2 payback law had been rescinded because Switzerland (or whoever) had actually paid their debt (or SOMETHING like that)

I think it was in the same thread that there were laws dating back to Washington that are still on the books


MY point of this comment is; The gummint keeps growing and nothing changes except the money Americans earn ... changes from our pockets to some one elses

Maybe we can convince them that setting fire to people is bad for the Ecology.

Wait, what are we calling the Ecology now?

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite.

They’ve actually set up a climate brainwashing department. The lapdog media wasn’t getting the job done of swaying the masses.

What a whore this Holdren must be to sell his soul to Obunga and the scumbag administration. “Dr. H” indeed!
