A popular international relations professor at the University of Copenhagen says that unless the world takes more unified action to fight climate change, we may need an armed intervention. Yes, Ole Wæver is suggesting that if we don’t get in line with the climate change hysteria the media is pushing, armed invasions may be the only solution.
“At some point this whole climate debate is going to tip over,” he tells RN’s Late Night Live.
“The current way we talk about climate is one side and the other side. One side is those who want to do something, and the other is the deniers who say we shouldn’t do anything.”
Wæver believes that pro-climate hysteria politicians man soon need to react more harshly as a way to appease their constituents who will seek more forceful conflicts with “climate deniers.”
The professor’s claim to climate change fame began when he coined the phrase, “securitisation,” which implies that climate change threatens democracy as we know it. And according to him, that should mean war.
“The United Nations Security Council could, in principle, tomorrow decide that climate change is a threat to international peace and security,” he says.
“And then it’s within their competencies to decide ‘and you are doing this, you are doing this, you are doing this, this is how we deal with it’.”
In other words, the world according to Ole Wæver is better off in a state of war, whereas nuclear threat potential exists alongside certain human and animal casualties, is the only way forward to save the climate. By flying warplanes and fighter jets, dispersing massive warships, and annihilating croplands with shrapnel, we can progressively make the world a better place to breath air. Wars notoriously lead to increased chaos in sub-Saharan nations where warmongers tend to thrive beyond the bombs. And typically, refugee numbers around the world surge as people are displaced by armed conflicts.
But it should all save the environment. If we put enough “climate deniers” in front of firing squads, we can all move forward and continue living in a world of lavish private planes, SUVs, and paper cups.
“The United Nations Security Council could, in principle, tomorrow decide that climate change is a threat to international peace and security,”
And then start a war?
Classic liberal “logic”
As Orwell was supposed to have said: Some ideas are so stupid, only intellectuals will believe them.
I’ve always said that the greenies weren’t serious unless they were ready to bomb China and India back into the Stone Age. I guess someone listened...
Hahaha...I had to do the same thing and see what the wimp looks like.
Not disappointed. He can make war on people who think for themselves and aren’t insane, and the worst that will come of if for us is that we might get some skin sloughed off our shins by his front teeth.
A Viking he ain’t.
Armed invasions usually result in quite a carbon footprint. Just sayin’.
And who, exactly, is gonna fight this war for them?
What does this idiot intend to do, hire us to fight ourselves?
Isn’t it funny how people like this are quick to talk about war as long as someone else has to do the fighting?
If Mr. Egghead wants to deal with me personally, I will be waiting.
Looks like a job for Terminex
And what is Weaver’s connection with Greta?
When I see what the opposition actually looks like, all my fears dissipate.
OK doomer.
I saw a photo, taken recently, of Greta the Ghoul lying on the ground firing a machine gun on a tripod. I guess they’re serious about this.
International Relations Professor does not equal climate scientist, or scientist of any sort.
An “international relations” instructor advocating for war ?
Hypocrit much?
“international relations professor”
When I mention “Marshmallow studies” we’re talking a strong competitor for mother here.
Suggest they start with China then, big time carbon dioxide emitters.
Both climate demon possessed.
That’s it, the climate demon
Gee, didn’t Pol Pot essentially do the same thing? Didn’t Mao and Stalin kills millions who disagreed with them.
Deep down in the heart of every leftist is a blood-thirsty totalitarian.
Hitler was quite the Prog, so I think you would be right.
