In a new book titled The Lies of Green Politics and How the Green Party Betrayed the People of Ireland I detail a number of the main falsehoods of modern green politics. These include:

1. Climate Change is not caused by CO2 emissions or methane from livestock, such as cows. These are not the dominant factors in climate change.

In an article I initially published in February 2023 titled 1500 Scientists Say “Climate Change Not Due to CO2” – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked I provided evidences and testimonies from renowned international climate scientists that contradict the UN assertion that climate change is caused by CO2 emissions or methane. I also referred to the conclusion of 1500 climate scientists and climate professionals at the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) that the climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle, and that solar activity is the dominant factor in climate; and that CO2 emissions or methane from livestock, such as cows, are not the dominant factors in climate change. The number of signatories of this CLINTEL World Climate Declaration has now risen to 1860. This subject is comprehensively detailed in the books Transcending the Climate Change Deception Toward Real Sustainability and in the book Climate CO2 Hoax.

The conclusions of the Climate Intelligence foundation include the following:

“There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming… Warming is far slower than predicted… Climate policy relies on inadequate models… CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth: CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.”

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, and President of Greenpeace in Canada for seven years, states:

“the whole climate crisis is not only fake news its fake science… of course climate change is real it’s been happening since the beginning of time, but it’s not dangerous and it’s not caused by people… Most of the scientists who are saying it’s a crisis are on perpetual government grants.

I was one of the (Greenpeace) founders… by the mid-80s… we were hijacked by the extreme left who basically took Greenpeace from a science-based organisation to an organisation based on sensationalism, misinformation and fear… you don’t have a plan to feed 8 billion people without fossils fuels or get the food into the cities…” – Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace

The United Nations and the globalist Davos World Economic Forum is declaring the necessity of reaching a worldwide goal of “net zero carbon” by 2050. Transformations underway worldwide, to countless economies – setting the stage for creation of what in the 1970’s was called the New International Economic Order. In reality it is a blueprint for worldwide technocratic totalitarian corporate-communism. The EU, a political project of globalists from its very inception, is leading this nonsensical sinister agenda and plans become the world’s first “carbon neutral” continent by 2050 and reduce its CO2 emissions by at least 55% by 2030. 

With a virtual monopoly on mainstream media as well as social media, the ‘climate change is caused by CO2 lobby has brainwashed the world into believing that we should eliminate hydrocarbons including petroleum, natural gas, coal and even the “carbon free” nuclear electricity by 2050, that we hopefully might avoid a 1.5 to 2 degree Centigrade rise in average world temperature. The problem with this is it is cover for a diabolical ulterior agenda. 

Now the fear narrative has gotten so ridiculous that every freak weather event is treated as “climate crisis.” However, the entire rationale for the transition to energy sources, such as solar or wind, is their claim that C02 is a greenhouse gas that goes up to the atmosphere supposedly warming the Earth below.  However, the reality is that CO2 cannot soar up into the atmosphere. CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is not carbon or soot. It is an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis and all life forms on earth, including us.

“CO2 has a molecular weight of just over 44 while air (mainly oxygen and nitrogen) has a molecular weight of only 29. The specific gravity of CO2 is some 1.5 times greater than air. That would suggest that CO2 exhaust gases from vehicles or power plants do not rise into the atmosphere some 12 miles or more above Earth to form the feared greenhouse effect.” – F. William Engdahl, Author and Strategic Risk Consultant

The myth of manmade climate change due to CO2 emissions has become so normalised amongst all political parties worldwide and in the general population, that at times it seems as if one is living in an entire society ‘blind to the truth’. Images of the apocalyptic movie and book ‘Day of the Triffids’ springs to mind. In this book almost the entire population of the Earth has become physically blinded. In 2023, here we are living through a society that has largely become ‘mentally blinded’ to the truth. 

What can be done? You cannot wake up a man that pretends to be asleep and you cannot make a blind man see. The unfortunate reality is that the blind are leading the blind; and the politicians and leaders whatever their political colour, green or otherwise, rarely rock the boat of the ‘institutional orthodoxy’ or relinquish their bloated government salaries, regardless of whether they are aware of the truth or not. 

2. The current green energy/renewable technologies being promoted by the UN and WEF, are not a viable solution for the world’s energy supply.

Most ‘green policies’ are based on mathematical madness.The current green energy/renewable technologies being promoted by the UN and WEF, are not a viable solution for the world’s energy supply. Although these technologies have some limited viability in certain locations and scenarios, the fact remains that the Energy Returned on Energy Invested is much too low – in essence the entire process is mathematically flawed. 

This is evidenced by the work of scientists, including Professor David MacKay, former Regius Professor of Engineering at Cambridge University and former Chief Scientific Advisor at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change in his book Sustainable Energy without Hot Air[1]. His analysis shows the mathematical absurdity of wind energy and that an area twice the size of the entire country of Wales would need to be completely covered with wind turbines to meet the energy demand in the U.K., based on average energy consumption per person. The creation of wind energy infrastructure is in most parts of the world a massive waste of existing fossil fuel resources. 

Let us consider the example of Germany as detailed in an article by strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl[2]. In Germany, Angela Merkel and the German government as part of a 2001 government strategy to rely on solar and wind and other “renewables” aimed to make Germany the first industrial nation to be “carbon neutral.” F. William Engdahl described that:

  • this strategy has been an economic catastrophe. Germany had one of the industrial world’s most stable low-cost and reliable electric generation grids, but today Germany has become the world’s most expensive electric generator.
  • the energy inefficient wind and solar, today costs some 7 to 9 times more than gas. To reach targets by 2030 Deutsche Bank even admitted the state will need to create an “eco-dictatorship”[3].
  • by 2025 an estimated 25% of existing German windmills will need replacement and waste disposal is a colossal problem

Furthermore, a massive input of concrete and aluminum is needed to produce solar or wind farms, all of which requires cheap energy to produce; but solar and wind is not cheap it is very expensive. Consider also that the amount of added electricity needed for a ‘zero carbon’ EU by 2050 would be far more than today, as countless millions of battery chargers will need grid electricity with reliable power. 

3. Driving an electric car is fake environmentalism – Elon Musk debunked

The Green Party and electric vehicle (EV) drivers are suckers for mega-corporate advertising, ignorantly proud of so-called low-carbon eco-cars. Apparently, unaware that the manufacture of millions of EV batteries, requires huge mining operations to acquire and refine large quantities of rare earth metals, such as lithium, rhodium and cobalt; that these metals have to be mined out of the ground using machinery which is powered by carbon-emitting vehicles powered by diesel or petrol; and importantly, that the mining and refining processes can cause significant and extensive pollution to land, air and water systems, for example in rural China and Mongolia[4]. Unlike the fake climate agenda, these are real environmental problems. 

Have these deluded green politicians considered what would be the environmental consequence of transitioning the entire world population to EVs, for example, for a population of 8 billion to be using about 2 billion EVs, at around 1 per family? The real pollution to land and water systems from the mining of rare earth metals, such as lithium, for EV batteries would be massive. For example see a picture of toxic lithium leach fields in Chile in my recent article Driving an electric car is fake environmentalism – Elon Musk debunked.

Furthermore, the push to end gasoline or diesel transport by 2035 in favor of EVs is based on a lie as the lithium-ion battery-powered vehicles have a total “carbon footprint” when the effects of mining lithium and producing all parts are included, that is worse than diesel autos. The deluded greens are trying to get us all driving EVs, but EVS are still driven by electricity produced from fossil fuels and will most likely continue to be. Furthermore, EVs are not at all an efficient use of energy as the well to tank efficiency of this electrification process has been estimated at around only 37%!

There appears to be a growing realisation amongst people worldwide that electric transport is something of a ‘road to nowhere’. For example, I note the following video from Ireland criticising the country’s Green Party Minister for Transport:

4. The ‘green sheep’ are concerned with fitting in with the ‘accepted’ UN Climate and Sustainable Development narrative

The idiocy of the Green Party position on climate boggles the mind. Intelligent persons and real environmentalists know by now that climate change is NOT caused by CO2 emissions or methane from livestock, such as cows, see this article. Thus, the majority of Green Party policies, seemingly worldwide, are based on a lie and are complete nonsense. A generation of young people and deluded CO2 activists have been misled like sheep. Most individuals are smart, or at least have some capacity for intelligent discussion – I like talking with individuals. However, ‘group politics’ and ‘group think’ turns people into dumb animals – like sheep.

The ‘green sheep’ are concerned with fitting in with the ‘accepted climate change narrative’ and with saying things that can be approved of by people in their immediate surroundings and peer group. Thus, they let their ego and how they appear to others in their peer group rule their lives. Such concerns take away from the attainment of knowledge and deeper meaning. Which is better? Conveying an image to everyone around you, or being a genuine person openminded enough to consider the research and testimony of the almost 2,000 scientists and academics that refute the UN climate narrative as described in my book Climate CO2 Hoax.

Unfortunately, these days all debate of the UN narrative that ‘climate change is caused the gases C02 and methane’ is literally shut down in green politics, and in most political settings. The green sheep say there is no longer any room for debate and absorb their bogus climate knowledge from the green-painted institutions of the UN, an unelected organisation originally created and funded by the Rothschild and Rockefeller banking dynasties. Mega-banking dynasties that are the very harbingers of environmentally destructive corporate globalisation that you might think a real environmentalist would be opposed to.

5. The Green Party claims to be an environmental political party, but bizarrely supports the policies of international mega-banks and international institutions, such as the UN and the WEF, that drive environmentally destructive ‘globalisation painted green”.

Green politics is fake environmentalism. The Green Party appear to be brainwashed by decades of UN-promote propaganda; and appear to be unaware that the real environmental movement was essentially ‘hijacked’ by the Rothschild banking dynasty in 1992 at the UN Earth summit. This is detailed and evidenced in a recent article I wrote[5]. The article includes a video of the testimony of whistleblower George Hunt – this video testimony can be viewed (currently) on the internet[6].

In addition, the Greens, and seemingly most political parties these days, are championing the deceptive UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I comprehensively decoded and dismantled the true meaning of the deceptive SDGs in this article and in the book CO2 Climate Hoax – How Bankers Hijacked the Real Environment Movement.

My research indicates the green political parties founded in many countries in the early 1980s were often focused on policies for ecology, food security, local resilience, and local governance. However, nowadays this focus on local sustainability appears to have been largely displaced. In modern times the various Green Party’s in respective countries worldwide, appear to be generally aligned with the globalist policies of the institutional powers of the EU and the UN for at least the past 10 to 15 years. However, despite the green facade they have adopted, the institutions of the EU and the UN are actually bastions of environmentally destructive globalisation. The green localists have been gradually displaced or replaced by brainwashed green globalists.

Industrial globalisation itself, and the debt-money system at the root of it, has been the main culprit for decades of real environmental destruction and pollution to land, air and water systems. Yet the green politicians who are supposed to be concerned for the environment have aligned themselves with the institutions and agendas of those same forces of environmentally destructive globalisation – the only difference only its ‘globalisation painted green’.

It appears that the green politicians are either too brainwashed by UN climate propaganda, simply too stupid to notice this, or too fond of their large salaries as elected members of parliament to care.

It should be noted that it is the world’s central bankers that are behind the decision to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide and are entirely funding and controlling the advancement of the worldwide project of combatting man-made climate-change. This project involves an attempt to de-carbonise the activities of the entire world population. In December 2015, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), which represents $118 trillion of assets globally[7]. In essence this means that the financialization of the entire world economy is based on meeting nonsensical aims such as “net-zero greenhouse gas emissions”. The TCFD includes key people from the world’s mega-banks and asset management companies, including JP Morgan Chase; BlackRock; Barclays Bank; HSBC; China’s ICBC bank; Tata Steel, ENI oil, Dow Chemical, and more.  

The fact that the world’s largest banks and asset management corporations, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, the UN, the World Bank, the Bank of England and other central banks of the BIS, have all linked to push a vague, mathematically nonsensical ‘green’ economy, is no coincidence. There is another agenda at play that has nothing to do with environmentalism. The green economy along with UN Agenda 2030 is an agenda of world control, and will also develop trillions of dollars for the behind-the-scenes mega-banks. When the world largest banks, corporations, and institutions, all align to push a climate change agenda that has zero evidence, one can see there is another major agenda going on behind the scenes.
