TRUTH COMES OUT -- U.N. official reveals real reason behind Global Warming push
"At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.

'This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,' she said."

#1  the entire environmental movement is dedicated to that...in case you haven't noticed.

Can someone put a surprise meter on this?
Posted by: Mystic || 02/16/2015 1:38 Comments || Top||

#2  "End capitalism and castrate all white males!"?

#3 

That other way, it's much more polluting.

#4  On the positive side, at least they're finally being honest.
Posted by: Rambler in Virginia || 02/16/2015 8:03 Comments || Top||

#5  I think Christiana Figueres figures no one is really listening, so she can get away with telling the truth.
Communists by any other name are still the same.

#6  Though I don't expect it, I hope that Republicans and any Democrats that aren't totally treasonous would take this and scream it from the roof tops while seeking a way to shut down this institution and all its evil.

#7  So many of those on the left who support GW and CC have no idea why. They actually think they are on the side of the angels. Most are young and gullible do-gooders. They are useful idiots for the more devious string pullers. It is these devious string pullers on the hard left who are the enemy at our gate.

#8  I always figured if GW was real the Chinese and Indians would be doing something about it. They're not, of course. But, also, if GW was real a responsible government would impose sanctions on them for their inaction. Our government won't, of course. Never will. So it has to be a lie.

#9  Put more simply, OWG-NWO = SPACE GOVT-ORDER = at present, all the advanced = Gravity-N-Heat-resisting materials, etc. needed for Reliable, Reusable Spaceships-Crafts ala Deep-Space Exploration and Colonization is OIL-BASED, ERGO WHOMEVER CONTROLS THE OIL CONTROLS SPACE + SPACE GOVT-ORDER.

* SPACE ECNOMOMY(S)-OF-SCALE = CAN BE SUMMED UP AS ONE NATION OR A FEW LIKE NATIONS PUT IN CHARGE OF THE SURVIVAL OF ALL HUMANITY VEE DEEP SPACE.

D *** NG IT, THE SPICE, THE SPI-I-I-I-C-E!

But I digress ... ...

Taxpayers in 3 counties could be on hook for millions after solar project fizzles
New Jersey carried Obama twice. They can damn well carry his debt.
Like everything else, the Democrats want us to be more like Europe. Including the failed solar projects...
[NJ] The concept behind the massive solar project sounded simple enough: borrow $88 million to install panels on public buildings in Morris, Somerset and Sussex counties and then sell excess electricity, using the revenues to pay off the debt.

The concept was called the "Morris model," held up nationally as an example of how to produce renewable energy through public-private partnerships. It was the second project of its kind and the previous one was hailed as a success.

But now, nearly four years later, taxpayers could be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars the counties owe bondholders, after work ground to a halt amidst cost overruns and lawsuits.

#1  There are tens of thousands of abandoned wind turbines in the U.S.

Any type of energy source which could not be profitable without government subsidy will ultimately meet this fate.

#2  Screw the bond holders. Let them learn a bit about risk.

#3  Green fad suckers!!. Increase the meds please. We have to keep the delusion going and the money flowing.

#4  Sell the bonds to Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.

#5  "Nobody could have predicted this" - one expert claimed.

#6  It happens in the windmill power area also...

#7  > Screw the bond holders. Let them learn a bit about risk.

and reverse a decade of American anticapitalism?!

How dare you! These people deserve their money risk free and extorted from taxpayers.

#8  New Jersey...WAIT!
Isn't that the fat guy?
Posted by: Skidmark || 02/16/2015 10:23 Comments || Top||

#9  "The bondholders will be paid, regardless of how," said John Eskilson, the Sussex County administrator.

Makes you wonder who the actual bondholders are, doesn't it?

#10  Taxpayers in 3 counties could be on hook for millions after solar project fizzles That was intent all along--to scam the taxpayers out of their money. I suggest the people in these counties identify the culpable politicians and look for the closest lamp post.

#11  Remember "its all for the children" ? Well in this case many ecology citizens are glad the solar project fizzles, why ? Because "its all for the birds" they don't want the birds to sizzle !
