UN Fear Campaign on Climate Change (Repainting Blue Helmets Green): UN to Expand Its Mission with New Environmental Peacekeeping Force to 'Keep the Peace in an Era of Climate Change,' Claiming Climate Change is a Threat to International Security and Blaming Global Warming for Drought and Floods

UN Security Council to Consider Climate Change Peacekeeping

Special meeting to discuss 'green helmets' force to intervene in conflicts caused by rising seas levels and shrinking resources

July 20, 2011

Guardian - A special meeting of the United Nations security council is due to consider whether to expand its mission to keep the peace in an era of climate change.

Small island states, which could disappear beneath rising seas, are pushing the security council to intervene to combat the threat to their existence.

There has been talk, meanwhile, of a new environmental peacekeeping force – green helmets – which could step into conflicts caused by shrinking resources.

The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-Moon, is expected to address the meeting on Wednesday.

But Germany, which called the meeting, has warned it is premature to expect the council to take the plunge into green peacemaking or even adopt climate change as one of its key areas of concern.

"It is too early to seriously think about council action on climate change. This is clearly not on the agenda," Germany's ambassador to the UN, Peter Wittig, wrote in the Huffington Post.

"A good first step would be to acknowledge the realities of climate change and its inherent implications to international peace and security," he wrote.

Bringing the security council up to speed on climate change could be a challenge, however.

The Pentagon and other military establishments have long recognised climate change as a "threat multiplier" with the potential to escalate existing conflicts, and create new disputes as food, water, and arable land become increasingly scarce.

Wittig seems to agree, noting that UN peacekeepers have long intervened in areas beyond traditional conflicts.

"Repainting blue helmets into green might be a strong signal -- but would dealing with the consequences of climate change -- say in precarious regions -- be really very different from the tasks the blue helmets already perform today?" he wrote.

In an official "Concept Note" ahead of the meeting, Germany said the security council needed to draw up scenarios for dealing with the affects of extreme temperatures and rising seas. How would the UN deal with climate refugees? How would it prevent conflicts in those parts of Africa and Asia which could face food shortages?

But there is a deep divide over whether the security council should even consider climate change as a security issue. China, for example, argues that the security council should leave climate change to the experts. However, small island states in the Pacific, which face an existential threat due to climate change, have been pushing the council to act for years.

"The security council should join the general assembly in recognising climate change as a threat to international peace and security. It is a threat as great as nuclear proliferation or global terrorism," Marcus Stephen, the president of Nauru, wrote in a piece in the New York Times.

"Second, a special representative on climate and security should be appointed. Third, we must assess whether the United Nations system is itself capable of responding to a crisis of this magnitude."

That remains an open question.

Wednesday's meeting arrives at a time of growing doubt about whether the UN is equipped to deal with climate change. Last month's climate talks in Bonn produced little progress in key areas. Meanwhile, Ban has been refocusing his attention from climate change to sustainable development.

The security council has also been stalled in its efforts to deal with the threats posed by climate change. Its first attempt was at a meeting in 2007 convened by Britain. But the effort swiftly exposed the deep divisions of the common problem.

Small island states, which could disappear entirely beneath rising seas, were anxious for the security council to intervene, saying the threat they faced was as severe as war. But China and other countries resisted, arguing the security council should stick to maintaining the peace.

UN Says Climate Change Threatens World Security

July 21, 2011

AFP - Climate change could exponentially increase the scale of natural disasters while at the same time threatening world security, a senior UN official told the UN Security Council Wednesday.

Though science cannot yet explain all the reasons behind global warming, "a changing climate is a reality," and one that effects all sectors of society, said Achim Steiner, director of the UN Environment Program.

Steiner cited a worst-case scenario prediction that temperatures will rise 4 degree Celsius by 2060 while the sea level will rise one meter over the next century.

There are myriad threats already and their numbers will rise, he said, noting droughts like the one currently afflicting Somalia, floods such as the ones that hit Pakistan, and their implications on the food markets.

"The scale of the the natural disasters will increase exponentially," he added.

Two regions of Southern Somalia, hit by a devastating drought, were declared in a state of famine Wednesday by the United Nations, who called it the worst food crisis in Africa in 20 years and have mobilized efforts to stem the situation before it worsens.

"The signs of climate changing, not only is it happening, it is accelerating," he added. The famine and rising sea levels "are all threats to peace and security," said Steiner.

The next climate conference will take place in Durban in December and "must be decisive." Developed countries must manage their actions but emerging nations must also play their role and cannot be spectators, he urged.

The Green Police Are No Longer a Joke – the UN May Create an Army of “Green Helmets” to Fight Climate Change

July 21, 2011

End of the American Dream - Up until now, most people had considered the idea of "green police" to be something of a joke. Well, the time for laughter is over. It is actually being proposed that the UN should create an army of "green helmets" to fight climate change.

An article in The Guardian recently reported that a special meeting of the UN Security Council will be asked to consider the concept of "a new environmental peacekeeping force – green helmets – which could step into conflicts caused by shrinking resources."

But we have all seen how a lot of "peacekeeping" and "humanitarian" missions often turn out. The truth is that UN forces have a long track record of brutality, and surely the "green helmets" would be no exception. In fact, someday we may see "green helmets" on American soil enforcing the radical green agenda of the international community.

Everyone laughed when Audi started running commercials featuring "the green police" a few years ago, but the truth is that there is almost always a little bit of truth in every joke. The Audi commercial posted below is very entertaining, but the reason why it struck such a nerve is because it is exactly where we are heading....

A lot of people never thought we would actually see something like "the green police" actually materialize.

Well, the world gets more crazy every single day.

Just check out what Germany's ambassador to the UN, Peter Wittig, recently had to say about the "green helmets" that would be tasked with fighting against the effects of climate change....

"Repainting blue helmets into green might be a strong signal -- but would dealing with the consequences of climate change -- say in precarious regions -- be really very different from the tasks the blue helmets already perform today?"

Remember, this is not just some nut talking about this. This is Germany's ambassador to the United Nations who is actually suggesting that we should have a bunch of UN soldiers running around in green helmets.

Unfortunately, fighting "climate change" has become one of the top priorities for the United Nations. It is the United Nations that developed "Agenda 21". It is the United Nations that has made "sustainable development" an international priority. It is the United Nations that is endlessly holding conferences about climate change.

Now, many world leaders are encouraging the UN to go farther than ever before in fighting "climate change".

The president of Nauru, Marcus Stephen, recently had an article published in the New York Times in which he stated the following....

First, the Security Council should join the General Assembly in recognizing climate change as a threat to international peace and security. It is a threat as great as nuclear proliferation or global terrorism. Second, a special representative on climate and security should be appointed. Third, we must assess whether the United Nations system is itself capable of responding to a crisis of this magnitude.

None of this may sound too threatening until you realize that the United Nations believes that "overpopulation" is the biggest cause of climate change. In fact, official UN reports talk about how "no human is genuinely carbon neutral" and about how we need to do all we can to encourage people to have less children.

Governments all over the globe have jumped on board and have eagerly adopted the population control agenda of the United Nations.

In many nations, population control measures are voluntary at first. In fact, often incentives are even offered. For example, health officials in India are offering motorcycles, televisions and even new cars to women in an attempt to get them sterilized. But where they can get away with it, international population control advocates often employ more forceful methods.

In central Africa, children are often vaccinated at gunpoint. Later on it is often discovered that the vaccinations have actually resulted in sterilization. In China, a "one-child policy" and forced abortions have become a way of life.

We aren't seeing such measures in western countries yet, but we are on the way.

The truth is that the global elite keep wanting to push the limits as they implement their vision of the future. For example, the European Commission says that it would like to ban cars from most major cities by the year 2050.

Does that seem extreme?

You don't think anything like that could ever happen in the United States?

Well, already the federal government is telling us what kinds of light bulbs we are allowed to buy. Not only that, but as I have written about previously, the U.S. government is now spending huge amounts of money to help get smart meters installed in as many U.S. homes as possible. The name "smart meters" may not sound very threatening, but the truth is that they are sophisticated surveillance devices that will give authorities the capability to monitor and control our energy usage like never before.

Global authorities are also absolutely determined to "educate" the next generation about the dangers of "climate change". This radical agenda is making tremendous progress in our public schools. For example, the state of Maryland has now made "environmental literacy" a requirement for high school graduation.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with wanting to help the environment. But the truth is that the radical plans that the global elite have to dramatically reduce levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would actually be incredibly damaging to the environment. For instance, reduced levels of carbon dioxide would make it much more difficult to grow food and that would make our global food crisis much worse.

But instead of being willing to openly debate the science, the global elite plan to shove their radical green agenda directly down our throats.

Someday if you wake up in a "Planned-opolis" where a "one-child policy" and forced abortions are mandated by the central government, don't say that you weren't warned.

The radical environmentalists tell us exactly what they would like to do. John P. Holdren, Barack Obama's top science advisor, once co-authored a textbook in which he advocated the creation of a global police force to enforce population control measures....

“If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization.”

So when the UN starts discussing an army of "green helmets", we should all be alarmed. This has been a dream of radical population control advocates for a very long time.

Please do not ignore the radical green agenda. It is a direct threat to all of the liberties and freedoms that many of us hold dear. Those pushing this agenda really do feel like they need to tightly control all of us "for the good of the planet".

This radical agenda is going to do absolutely nothing to "save the planet". Rather, it will just be used as an excuse to impose an insidious form of tyranny on us all.
