Maurice Strong's call for action infects global consciousness
At the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, 178 nation states were in attendance to create the framework for the Networks’ global governance agenda. At the summit, Canadian Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the UN 1992 Rio Earth Summit, summarized the causes of environmental degradation in the following statement:
“It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, ownership of motor vehicles, golf courses, small electric appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning and suburban housing are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns.”
A couple of years earlier he had said, “We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrialized civilization to collapse. Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”
This set the necessary tone for years to come. Timothy Wirth, Senator (Democrat, Colorado) Undersecretary of State for Global Issues at the Rio Earth Summit made the following astonishing statement:
“We have 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.”
Richard Benedick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State at the Rio Earth Summit (1992) stated,
“A global warming treaty must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the (enhanced) greenhouse effect.”
From these statements one must conclude that the global warming issue remains secondary to the real agenda, which is centralized global control.
The key achievements at Rio were the establishment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as the binding international environmental treaty to combat “dangerous human interference with the climate system” and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The binding Convention on Biodiversity and the Commission on Sustainable Development was established.
Ottmar Edenhofer, a German economist and former co-chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III made a statement that is perhaps closest to the true agenda:
“One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.”
At a meeting with editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald in 1998, Christine Stewart Canadian Minister of the Environment, made the following statement:
“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony… climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
