A Suicidal Collapse of Western Civilization?

"................The ongoing economic suicide of Europe is based on a faulty understanding of the climate issue by most Western politicians and on their extreme policy response, based on emotion rather than logic and science. The major European economies have reacted irrationally to contrived,unjustified fear of imagined global-warming disasters...

One may ask:Is there any way to stop this steamroller? There’s probably little hope that such an initiative can come from Europe;it may have to come from the United States. Somehow we would have to convince European leaders that their policies, based on global-warming fears, are mistaken. That job may prove to be very difficult--unless there is a drastic change in current US policy. But it is something that has to be done if we want Europe to survive economically, as an ally against the threat of Islamo-Fascism.

I don’t believe that the US is prepared to save Europe;just listen to our Secretary of State: Speaking in Boston on Oct 9, John Kerry pronounced that climate change, if left unaddressed, will result in the end of times:“Life as you know it on Earth ends,” Kerry said. Last February, Kerry claimed that climate change was the world’s “most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.” Not nuclear bombs in the hands of the terrorist-sponsoring regime of Iran--or in the hands of ISIS or al Qaeda; not Ebola or some fearsome epidemic of a lethal disease. According to Kerry, climate change is the real number-one national-security threat.

US media, academia, and other opinion-makers are chiming in. In her latest work of science-fiction, Harvard’s Naomi Oreskes, co-author of the mendacious Merchants of Doubt, imagines a future world devastated by climate change. She generously gives the West another 80 years--well beyond her own life span, of course. But she totally ignores the dangers of rising Islamo-Fascism and of demography. Just listen:.....

The decline in Europe is simultaneous with a rise in the East. From the Gulf, Eastward, the European lunch is being eaten by new businesses and industry with which Europe can’t compete.

Actually, Australia is leading the charge against AGW, doing a good job it so far. See how the G20, hosted by AU, ignores it.

I expect this lead will have some impact on the British Commonwealth, as well as other allied countries & trading partners. Britain is a basket case, “tilting at windmills”. having little influence in this matter. But AU is thriving after dumping foolish climate change policy. Winners have influence, losers have none.

Now if AU would just restore gun ownership rights she’d be THE model of human rights & common sense government.

The demise of the west is the agenda of Obanzai.
