Greenies want to control with jackboots, writs and taxes every aspect of our behaviour under the cloak of “sustainability”. This is chillingly illustrated in the latest offering in the BBC’s regular platform for fanatics, the Green Room. Here, a career agitator called Owen Gaffney, who works for the the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP)- an international body so incredibly manipulative in its goals that it is beyond Orwell’s worst nightmares – argues that to save ourselves from “global change” (Newspeak that Orwell would have recongnised), we need to spend shedloads more cash, so that he and his barmy chums can:
…look at the risks of geo-engineering – intentionally manipulating the Earth’s climate by, for example, erecting giant sunshades in space, or adding small particles to the upper atmosphere to reflect heat away from Earth.
The architects of the new programme aim to go beyond the traditional boundaries of Earth-system science, and corral experts from other fields to tackle the technological, institutional and behavioural changes required if we want genuine global sustainability.
The scale of this challenge alone cannot be underestimated.
Note the way that Mr Gaffney so silkily talks about the need for “behavioural change”, in exactly the same way that the Nazis talked about “the Jewish question”. The BBC is giving these fanatics a platform as if what they are saying is respectable, objective, scientific fact. The reality is much more sinister.
Here is another outfit keen on ‘behavioural change’: the Low Carbon Innovation Centre based in, you might just guess, the UEA. Some information on their work is given here:

The Nazi analogy is very apt. These people are the new Fascists.
Shame very few of them seem prepared to grasp the population control nettle, isn’t it ?
the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme
sounds a bit like the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E.) in CS Lewis’ novel ‘That Hideous Strength’…
These freaks are utterly dangerous to humanity, they seek to save humanity by destroying humanity.
Democracy? the rights of the individual? The will of the majority? Its all alien to those who demand the subjection of the individual will to the will of the ‘state’ the state being of course THEMSELVES.
We live in the time of the tyranny of the minority, this minority is gifted with a staggering arrogance twinned with an almost unbelievable childish stupidity, they think with their dark emotions and leave their rational mind untouched.
The authoritarian mindset and hatred of those who might wish to live their own lives as they see fit, the genetic urge to control and dominate and impose their own ideals and emotioal state onto everyone is as old as civilisation and has been the root cause of so much pain and suffering.
Instead of living the life they wish to lead they try and force everyone else to live as they would demand, obviously they themselves would nearly always exclude themselves from hardship ala animal farm using manifold devices and strategies, do as I say not as I do!
The subjection of the will of the individual to the will of the self styled elite leads to the adulation of the supreme individual which leads to such delights as lines of grey obedient droids standing in line to see a wax dummy.
Democracy and freedom has enemies, real enemies. There are people out there who hate freedom and democracy with a passion normal people could not begin to comprehend and many work at the BBC.
Mr Gaffney is correct when he says
‘The scale of this challenge alone cannot be underestimated.’
Al Gore, Prince Charles, the affluent western greens and the BBC itself are notoriously reluctant to reduce their own large carbon footprints, preferring to tell others to do it. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Mr Gaffney himself lives a very comfortable, high energy use lifestyle on the back of his earnings from his eco-evangelism.
I notice from the NASA ‘photograph’ that the lights are on all over the world at the same time!
Phil,
The liberal-lefties don’t have carbon footprints !
Off topic,
here is a survey the bBC is currently conducting. While we know the bBC only listens to those with a leftwing Islamic and gay background. (I always said Islam is a gay death cult) your input may get the message across to the;
drugtakingallahwhorshipingbarebackingtoffueating tossers at the bBC that we aren’t impressed.
If you do take part you will face question such as;
(Go to next post)
Part 2;
How would you describe your ethnic origin?
White
Black Caribbean
Black African
Black Other
Asian Indian
Asian Pakistani
Asian Bangladeshi
Asian Other
Mixed White and Black Caribbean
Mixed White and Black African
Mixed White and Asian
Mixed Other Mixed (Not a Typo on my behalf)
Middle Eastern
Chinese
Other Ethnic Group
Prefer not to say.
After that Initial entry screen where the emphasis is towards the 10% of the British population who aren’t white (I’m brown skinned btw) you are asked the following questions;
Just to let you know,folks, so you can be saved the bother and annoyance of BBC trickery, what I found when I clicked on that survey link was that you cannot find out what the survey is about unless you first fill in details about yourself, e.g. your age.
If you do not fill in the details on one page, it will stop you going on to the next, so you will not be able to find out what the topic of the survey is.
I have no intention of being bossed about by the BBC to give them something they have no damn right to demand before I make up my mind what surveys I want to be involved in. >:o
No, but you must! It’s only asking for an age band.
You have the chance to tell them (or their agents) what utterly biased bastards they are.
It’s not the fact that a question happens to be about age. It could be about anything. It is the fact that I want to know what the survey is about before I decide whether I want to complete it.
They are the ones wanting something from me: my opinion.
As such, they must ask politely in a way that informs me what they wish to ask me about. Not in a way that demands and requires something from me before they will tell me the purpose of the survey.
I have a good mind to write in complaining about the way they have gone about this.
Mr Gaffney appears to have got himself into a bit of a muddle:
The scale of this challenge alone cannot be underestimated.
That means that it is a very small challenge indeed: so small that one cannot put it as smaller than it actually is. Heh.
I suspect that he meant to state the opposite. If everything he writes is as unreliable as that, the unreliability of his pronouncements cannot be overestimated.
He would fit in well with the “experts” at the BBC. It wouldn’t surprise me to see some Beeboid pontificator on the TV quoting his nonsense word for word.
Part 3:
Could you please rate the BBC News site with a mark out of 10, where 10 is the highest score?
Would you recommend the BBC News site to a friend or colleague? Please give a mark out of 10, where 1 indicates ‘Strongly Disagree’ and 10 indicates ‘Strongly Agree’
Please rate the BBC News site with a mark out of 10 on the following areas, where 10 is the highest score
For the following statements about the BBC News site, please give a mark out of 10, where 1 indicates ‘Strongly Disagree’ and 10 indicates ‘Strongly Agree’.
What do you dislike about the BBC News site?
How much do you agree with the following statements about the News site? (This website is impartial)
I wish the environmentals would apply the concept of “sustainability” to economics instead of this nonsense.
Robin,
Be wary of falling foul of Godwin’s law!

This is bloody funny:

You can almost hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the BBC’s report
It is so bonkers, they should lock Gaffney up, he is another eco loony, it is all about control and mankind manipulation, so Marxist in concept.
Disappointed in Gaffney with his qual’s he should know better, much better! What happened to freedom and democracy?…….oh yeah! the BEEB knows better, of course how silly of me.
