Powerful Conspire in Britain to Criminalize Skepticism of Global Warming Hoax
The raw tyranny beneath the thin veneer of delusional environmentalist flakiness coating the global warming hoax is showing through:
We might think that a semi-secret, international conference of top judges, held in the highest courtroom in Britain, to propose that it should be made illegal for anyone to question the scientific evidence for man-made global warming, was odd enough to be worthy of front-page coverage.
Last week I mentioned that the Prince of Wales had sent a message to this conference calling for the UN’s forthcoming climate meeting in Paris to agree on “a Magna Carta for the Earth”. But only a series of startling posts by a sharp-eyed Canadian blogger, Donna Laframboise (on Nofrakkingconsensus), have alerted us to what a bizarre event this judicial gathering turned out to be (the organisers even refused to give her the names of those who attended).
Like most of the malign lunacy coming from the Left, a “Magna Carta for the Earth” is quintessentially Orwellian. The Magna Carta established basic rights. A Magna Carta for the Earth would repress the basic rights of free speech and scientific enquiry.
The purpose of this strange get-together was outlined in a keynote speech (visible on YouTube) by Philippe Sands, a QC [ Queen’s Counsel] from Cherie Blair’s Matrix Chambers and professor of law at University College, London. Since it is now unlikely that the world will agree in Paris to a legally binding treaty to limit the rise in global temperatures to no more than 2 degrees C from pre-industrial levels, his theme was that it is now time for the courts to step in, to enforce this as worldwide law.
Only a gibbering lunatic would believe that climate stasis — which has never existed and never will exist — can be imposed by bureaucratic decree. But we are ruled by gibbering lunatics.
Although his audience, Sands said, would agree that the scientific evidence for man-made climate change was “overwhelming”, there were still “scientifically qualified, knowledgeable and influential individuals” continuing to deny “the warming of the atmosphere, the melting of the ice and the rising of the seas”, and that this is all due to our emissions of CO2. The world’s courts, led by the International Court of Justice, said Sands, could play a vital role “in finally scotching these claims”.
…and doing so by force.
“The most important thing the courts could do,” he said, was to hold a top-level “finding of fact”, to settle these “scientific disputes” once and for all: so that it could then be made illegal for any government, corporation (or presumably individual scientist) ever to question the agreed “science” again. Furthermore, he went on, once “the scientific evidence” thus has the force of binding international law, it could be used to compel all governments to make “the emissions reductions that are needed”, including the phasing out of fossil fuels, to halt global warming in its tracks.
The global warming hoax, if effective, will enable liberals to inflict fresh extremes of tyranny. Not only science and speech will be forbidden in the name of a lie, but even the efficient generation of electricity and heating of our homes.
Phillipe Sands is one scary climate commie.
