Climate derangement syndrome: Academic suggests UN use military to enforce climate agenda
2019-12-05
[AMERICANTHINKER] What's the carbon footprint of a military invasion? And where's the army that the U.N. would use to invade a country that emits the CO2 that makes the world greener and greener?

This guy makes me even happier that I ditched academia after getting my Ph.D. and teaching at Harvard. Simon Kent reports for Breitbart:

The United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
may resort to military action against states that defy its mandates on global climate action, according to Ole Wæver, a prominent international relations professor at the University of Copenhagen.

In an interview with ABC News in Australia, Professor Wæver cautions that what he sees as "climate inaction" might draw the U.N. into considering other means to ensure its goals are met, even if that leads to global armed conflict.

The totalitarian impulse lurking behind the warmist agenda is clearly visible:

"If there was something that was decided internationally by some more centralised procedure and every country was told 'this is your emission target, it's not negotiable, we can actually take military measures if you don't fulfil it', then you would basically have to get that down the throat of your population, whether they like it or not," he says.

Global dictatorship, justified by a climate hoax. Does it get any more sinister?

#11  Put blue helmets on US soil and you will see grown ass men going to their armory like a 5 year old to the tree on Christmas morning.

#10   I doubt the US will provide logistics assistance to armies intent on invading.

Democrats would. They are doing it for Illegal Alien invaders - this isn't much of leap.

#8  How divorced from any functional reality can academics be?

I'm so old I remember when college professors were smart.

But to be fair, if we only have a couple of years to keep the entire planet from bursting into flames, then cruise missile strikes on Chinese power plants are a logical response. Sorry India, you're on the list too.

On the other hand, maybe this CO2 thing is the biggest scientific fraud since the Piltdown Man...

#7  'Might draw the u n into other means of action'. In God's name what exactly? Ring Xi's doorbell and run away? Run up a huge bar tab in Delhi and try and stiff the joint? How divorced from any functional reality can academics be?

#5  China should be the first country to be invaded. They produce more CO2 than any other country in the world.

Where are the UN troops going to come from? And how are they going to get to the target country?

Not that I actually think CO2 is a problem.

#4  I'd love to see the faces of some of the UN assigned troops from the typical rapey countries "You're going to invade America!" Yeah they might be willing to chant "Death to America" when they know nothing will happen but it's a different story when you are going to get fed into the meatgrinder.

#3  And some people wonder why we bought enough guns on Black Friday to reequip the Marine corps.

They are, and always have been, fascist/commies at the core.

Is it possible that this loon could be less significant?
