The earth's climate is changing. Sea levels are rising. We are all at risk.

 

The role of humans in climate change is undeniable. Capitalism is to blame. Governments must fix the problem. These are the mantras of the environmental movement on display at the People's Climate March being held on September 21.

The talking points of foundation-funded doomsayers reverberate in unison because their financing is dependent on publicizing a specific message and agenda. The otherwise critical minds supporting what passes for rebelliousness overlook the sponsorship and tacit control wielded by powerful private interests.

Scratching the surface, one finds that the most salient proponents of the carbon-centric global warming worldview are largely dependent on such funding.

 

 

 

 

For example, Bill McKibben, a principal organizer of the People's Climate March, has built a career around the false notion that minuscule increases in carbon dioxide are a principal cause of "extreme weather" events.
 

As this author has noted,

McKibben's 350.org project is the public face of his 501(c)(3) 1Sky Education Fund, which between its founding in 2007 and 2009 took in close to $5,000,000 in foundation money and "public contributions."

 

In 2010 the Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave 1Sky $200,000.

 

The key "scientific" paper McKibben points to as support for his dire warnings on climate change, "Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim," coauthored by NASA scientist James Hansen, was partially funded through Rockefeller Foundation money.[1]

A seemingly radical, anti-establishment veneer is helpful in lending the environmental movement some degree of legitimacy.

 

Canadian journalist and author Naomi Klein is the most recent voice of climate alarmism.

 

 

 

 

Klein's previous works, No Logo (2000) and The Shock Doctrine (2007), have afforded her with considerable notoriety and some degree of credibility, particularly among those on the progressive-left.

Klein's most recent book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate, suggests that drastic measures must be taken to save the environment from destructive human activities.

 

This Changes Everything is published by Simon & Schuster, a subsidiary of the publicly-traded CBS Corporation, which boasted revenues of $15.284 billion in 2013 alone.[2]

 

Like McKibben's Rockefeller sponsors, Simon & Schuster and CBS are typically uninclined toward promoting genuinely anti-establishment thought and discourse.

Klein is one of the few in the progressive-left cavalcade to recognize that geoengineering and weather manipulation pose extreme threats to the environment.

"Well, so, one of the geoengineering methods that gets taken most seriously is called 'solar radiation management'," Klein remarks on the foundation-funded Democracy Now! news hour,[3] another promoter of the People's Climate March.

 

Solar radiation management, managing the sun. So, what you - so the idea [sic] is that you would spray sulfur aerosols into the stratosphere, then they would reflect some of the sun's rays back to space and dim the sun and cool the Earth.

 

So, climate change is caused by pollution in the lower atmosphere, and so they're saying that the solution to that pollution is pollution in the stratosphere. And, you know, it's really frightening when you look at some of the modeling that is being done about what the possible downsides of this could be [sic].[4]

In fact, there is substantial evidence - patents, government documents, and scientific papers - that such organized contamination projects have been underway since at least the late 1990s and are almost certainly a major factor in the "extreme weather events" pointed to with such alarm by figures like McKibben.


Yet Klein deceptively suggests that geoengineering is still in the planning stages and has not begun.

 

Indeed, to acknowledge that such plans are well-advanced and now fully operational would call into question the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis she and her adherents proclaim as the rationale for opposing "capitalism."

 

It would also likely jeopardize a lucrative publishing contract with a global media conglomerate.


Foundation-funded and corporate-promoted environmentalism is notable not only for its hypocrisy, but also for what it leaves obscure to its well-intentioned devotees.

With this in mind, the purpose of such artificial dissent is arguably to repackage the threat of extreme weather that has been manufactured by military and government programs over the years as the basis for strategic socio-political and economic changes to which the public would never freely submit.

To curb humankind's environmental excesses, today's state-backed corporatism mistakenly decried as capitalism must further expand into the everyday lives of individuals, where an "internet of things" will inevitably catalog, regulate and control all consumable resources and biological entities.

"A really efficient totalitarian state," Aldous Huxley once observed, "would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude." [5]

Along these lines, establishment environmentalism's continued feigned urgency and spectacle of protest ingeniously disguises the deeper belief that humanity's salvation lies in its own subservience to technocratic control.
