A tale of two thermometers

It’s been posted before but I’ll do it again, just to show the hypocrisy and outright lying the envirowackos and globull warming advocates do all the time- in their own words:

“I think if we don’t overthrow capitalism, we don’t have a chance of saving the world ecologically. I think it is possible to have an ecologically sound society under socialism. I don’t think it’s possible under capitalism.”
—Judi Bari, Earth First! member.
[Environmentalism equals replacing capitalism with socialism.]

“The environmentalist’s dream is an egalitarian society, based on rejection of economic growth, a smaller population, eating lower on the food chain, consuming a lot less, and sharing a much lower level of resources much more equally.”
—Aaron Wildavsky, political scientist and professor.
[Environmentalism equals making everybody equal; that is, it’s communism.]

“No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits... [C]limate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
—Christine Stewart, Canadian Environment Minister.
[Environmentalism equals changing the world.]

“We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists, and their projects... We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers, and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.”
—David Foreman, EarthFirst! member.
[Environmentalism equals a return to primitive living.]

“We’ve got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing, in terms of economic policy and environmental policy
—Timothy Wirth, Clinton Administration U.S. Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs, and one of a number of politicians (including Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, Al Gore, John Kerry, Christopher Shays, and others) who were designated as “Green Leadership for the ‘90s.”
[Environmentalism equals changing policy by claiming ? even without substantiation ? it’s necessary to save the world’s environment.]

“[W]e have to offer up scary scenarios [about global warming and destruction of the environment], make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts one might have... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
—Stephen Schneider, Stanford University environmentalist.
[Environmentalism equals lies “if necessary.”]

“We routinely wrote scare stories about the hazards of chemicals, employing words like “cancer,” and “birth defects” to splash a little cold water in reporters’ faces... Our press reports were more or less true... Few handouts, however, can be completely honest, and ours were no exception... We were out to whip the public into a frenzy about the environment.”
—Jim Sibbison, former EPA press officer.
[Environmentalism equals government-sponsored deception.]

“Not only do journalists not have a responsibility to report what skeptical scientists have to say about global warming, they have a responsibility not to report what these scientists say.”
—Ross Gelbspan, former editor of The Boston Globe.
[Environmentalism equals silencing debate, and stifling contrary opinions.]

“I would freely admit that on [global warming] we have crossed the boundary from news reporting to advocacy.”
—Charles Alexander, Time magazine science editor.
[Environmentalism equals indoctrination.]

They called on states not to displace or chase indigenous peoples out of their forests, “which may be triggered by projects funded” by the World Bank’s proposed Forest Carbon Partnership Facility.

Indigenous peoples say their lands and territories are endangered by mineral extraction, logging, environmental contamination, privatization and development projects, classification of lands as protected areas or game reserves and use of genetically modified seeds and technology.

Last September, the General Assembly adopted a non-binding declaration upholding the human, land and resources rights of the world’s indigenous people.

World Bank, not just population control.

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
