Warmist have long attempted to link ‘climate change’ and Everyone Else’s use of fossil fuels to just about every real world issue one can think of, be it the environment, economy, poverty, etc. Oh, and terrorism. As Marc Morano told the Washington Times
“They are desperately trying to link ‘global warming’ to terrorism or come up with conspiracy theories on how Big Oil interests may be behind the terror attacks,†Mr. Morano said in an email. “The climate activists are now trying to rebrand the U.N. climate summit as some sort of ‘peace summit’ where addressing ‘global warming’ will somehow solve terrorism and civil wars.â€
Yes, they are desperate
Why a Climate Deal Is the Best Hope for Peace
….
All of this is perfectly understandable. When our safety feels threatened, it’s difficult to think of anything else. Major shocks like the Paris attacks are awfully good at changing the subject. But what if we decided to not let it happen? What if, instead of changing the subject, we deepened the discussion of climate change and expanded the range of solutions, which are fundamental for real human security? What if, instead of being pushed aside in the name of war, climate action took center stage as the planet’s best hope for peace?
This nuttiness is written by Jason Box, who I’m not familiar with, and Naomi Klein, who has repeatedly called for doing away with capitalism to combat Hotcoldwetdry. They go on to blame the Syrian conflict on ‘climate change’, saying it is “uncontroversial”, despite many, many, many saying “stop embarrassing yourselves by linking the two.”
If we acknowledge that the instability emanating from the Middle East has these roots, it makes little sense to allow the Paris attacks to minimize our already inadequate climate commitments. Rather, this tragedy should inspire the opposite reaction: an urgent push to lower emissions as rapidly and deeply as possible, including strong support for developing countries to leapfrog to renewable energy, creating much-needed jobs and economic opportunities in the process. That kind of bold climate transition is our only hope of preventing a future in which, as a recent paper in the journal Nature Climate Change put it, large areas of the Middle East will, by the end of the century, “experience temperature levels that are intolerable to humans.â€
In other words, they want to hijack the Paris climate talks, where tens of thousands of Warmists descend using fossil fueled travel, and pretend that fascistic agreements that will stifle economies will solve the Islamic terrorism problem. Of course, neither author mentions who these terrorists are.
A climate summit taking place against the backdrop of climate-fuelled violence and migration can only be relevant if its central goal is the creation of conditions for lasting peace. That would mean making legally enforceable commitments to leave the vast majority of known fossil-fuel reserves in the ground. It would also mean delivering real financing to developing countries to cope with the impacts of climate change, and recognizing the full rights of climate migrants to move to safer ground. A strong climate-peace agreement would also include a program to plant vast numbers of native-species trees in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, to draw down atmospheric CO2, reduce desertification, and promote cooler and moister climates. Tree planting alone is not enough to lower CO2 to safe levels, but it could help people stay on their land and protect sustainable livelihoods.
Got that? All the terrorism by these un-named terrorists is caused by carbon pollution being above 350ppm, and, as they argued earlier in the missive, it will go away if these “legally enforceable committments” reduce the CO2 levels back below that level. Hey, remember back before around 1990, when CO2 crossed the 350ppm threshold, when there were no wars and no terrorism ever?
ISIS are being used as an excuse to usher in their NWO, One World Government, they UK have already introduced their Para-Military Police, which leads to the question, how long have they known about this? This isn’t something that you budget for over night. The UN meting in Paris, is more than just Climate Change, they intend to sign paperwork on a Constitution for One World Government, which is why Kerry is trying to fool us with his “it’s not going to be a legally binding treaty” according to UN, IT IS!

Our host quoted:
The left are getting really funny. This is not even a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, but actually an ante hoc, ergo propter hoc mistake: they seem to think that the violence of the Islamists is being caused by something which hasn’t happened yet! :)
Yes, if we close a few more coal plants ISIS and other radical Islamists will cease to kill because…….well, just because. Our adversaries probably thought we couldn’t get any dumber, then this.
wow Dana high school Latin !!!
You must be smarter than everybody
Did you also have to study Greek?
Teach pleqse cite where anyone said ALL terrorism is caused by climate change.
I did not see that in any of the articles cited.
Again you are creating a strawman argument. tsk tsk
As for the closing of your beloved coal plants. Sadz. They are being closed and not retrofitted because no one is stupid enough to invest billions in a plant that relies on a dirty Victorian fuel.
The plants being closed are dinosaurs. The Stone Age ended not because people ran out of stones, it ended because of a newer better technology. That is one reason the Saudis are investing heavily in solar and also pumping and selling as much as they can right now. They see a future where oil in the ground may be worth less in real terms than it is right now.
And once Iran ramps up and Putin already on the ropes economically we may well see 20$ oil and 1 buck gasoline. Thanks Obama!!!
bin Laden’s stated reason for 9/11 was to make the USA attack a muslim nation. Looks like we did that and then some.
ISIS does not want any refugees escaping from their area of control. Maybe we should no longer do what our enemies want us to do? just sayin
My new, favorite saying. Thanks, john.
John…”bin Laden’s stated reason for 9/11 was to make the USA attack a muslim nation”
Not from what I’ve read. Instead it was due to…”The deployment throughout the Gulf states of U.S. forces, particularly in Saudi Arabia, he argued, is “the greatest of … aggressions incurred by the Muslims since the death of the prophet.â€
As to “The Stone Age ended not because people ran out of stones, it ended because of a newer better technology.”
The problem is that we still don’t have the technology to stop using fossil fuels.
A recent Telegraph article states: “Britain faces the highest risk of blackouts in almost a decade this winter, National Grid is expected to say next week, amid warnings that households will have to pay billions of pounds in subsidies to new gas power stations to prevent the crisis worsening….The tightening of supplies has been caused by the old polluting coal plants being forced to close by environmental rules more quickly than new plants are being built.
“The Stone Age ended not because people ran out of stones, it ended because of better technology.” Too bad wind and solar aren’t better technology. Nuclear may be, but the climate hoax deniers don’t seem too interested in that. Then John, always one to indict himself, mentions “Victorian fuel.” Good one John-how old do you think windmills are? And of course he’s lying when he compares the cleanliness of Victorian coal to today’s coal-apples to oranges. By the way, there’s over 500 new coal power plants being built in Asia with more than a thousand in the planning stages. Sorta goes against your false narrative, don’t you think? “Bin Laden wanted us to attack a Muslim nation..” Another good one John-a guy like that would never lie to people in the West, now would he? And only imbeciles would believe everything he said. Anyway, do you remember some small event called the Gulf War in the early 90’s? Didn’t the 90’s come before 2001?
