UN Official: If You’re Not Trying To Stop Global Warming You’re A Criminal

And so it begins…

VALENCIA, Spain - The U.N.’s top climate official warned policymakers and scientists trying to hammer out a landmark report on climate change that ignoring the urgency of global warming would be “criminally irresponsible.”

Yvo de Boer’s comments came at the opening of a weeklong conference that will complete a concise guide on the state of global warming and what can be done to stop the Earth from overheating. It is the fourth and last report issued this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-winner of this year’s Nobel Peace prize.

Got that?  If you don’t buy into the war on climate change, if you don’t line up to follow each and every life-controlling regulation Al Gore’s legions dream up from what kind of car you can drive to what size of house you can live in, you’re a criminal

Sure it’s just a bit of hyperbole, but this is how totalitarianism gets started.  They find a common enemy (for Hitler it was the Jews, for communists it’s always been the capitalists or the rich) and then the recruit everyone into the struggle against that enemy.  And then they case those who don’t want to struggle as traitors or...criminals

It’s dangerous stuff, this sort of rhetoric, but the global warming zealots are charging forward with it full speed.  All based on theories about anthropomorphic global warming that are anything but settled

Posted by Tom on Nov 13 2007 5:32PM - You are exactly right that this is how totalitarianism gets started. This is way beyond the pale and should not be tolerated. This guy probably has hundreds (if not thousands) of times the "carbon footprint" of the vast majority of the people he would insist are criminals. I think they have a word for that. I think it is hypocrisy. The UN shouldn't be put in charge of a convenience store let alone the planet which is what they really want. They act like we are doomed if we don't line their pockets and put them in charge. I think we are doomed if we do.
