THE DAVOS OUTPUT: World Economic Forum searches for global chaos culprits, fails to look in mirror
The senior members of the annual Davos skiing jolly (aka World Economic Forum) have published a damning indictment of those in charge of shaping the future for life on Earth. I could more easily accept that verdict if the Klosters crowd was in turn willing to accept some level of blame for it.

It’s hard not to sigh with a thin smile on reading the WEF’s image of itself:
‘The World Economic Forum is an independent and impartial International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. Its objective is to improve the state of the world. It does not promote any political, commercial or personal interests’
I exchanged opinions with CLive Lord the founder of the Green Party of England and Wales just yesterday.
He Blogged lamenting being ignored by George Monbiot.
I dislike Mintbiot and said this to Clive
Hi Clive,
Monbiot is controlled opposition, a gatekeeper.
The apparent infection in the Mainstream media by the plants of various Mockingbird initiatives dating back to the cold war is more prevalent now than they have ever been.
I happen to think that both the Tragedy of the commons and also the Significance of Anthropogenic Carbon emissions is overstated and as a distraction from the Environmental despoilation and Infinite growth paradigm on a finite planet.
WHilst I disagree with you on the details You and I are on the same side, whilst Monbiot might agree with some of our positions it is important to understand that he speaks for an unspoken un-propagandised agenda

You do realise this is a ‘Support the Greens’ forum? Are you a ‘Merchant of Doubt’ Roger?
I don’t know if you are a green supporter, but these are the tactics of fossil fuel. You are doing their job for them, is that what you want?

That Academic institutions are part of the Propaganda apparatus in late stage empires should not come as a suprise.

“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Obama, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.”
Replace “Obama” with “Hitler”, and you have the original. It’s from Milton Mayer’s classic They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, and the words are those of a university colleague of the author, explaining “the ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and the people.”

Lomborg is equally tainted and has no scientific papers to his name. Funding for his activities are opaque: https://www.theguardian.com/…/australia-paying-4…If you want to push the advantages of fossil fuel i’m sure we would all be delighted to hear you out.
Pielke , Lomburg, Christy, Curry, Lindzen, a whole host of Luke warmers are all concerned about environmental issues but also are honest that what the IPCC claim and Alarmist PR trolls like yourself do is spread fear and effectively push a misanthropic authoritarian agenda.

Hi Clive,
Could you tell me what you consider your main thrust to be?
I think we are basically on the same side regarding UBI of course and the infinite growth on a finite planet axiom is so clearly demonstrated by Bartlett and of course others.
I do wonder why this young lady was not Embraced as enthusiastically by the Oligarchs as Greta.

On Ostrum here is my blog of our discussion,
Al Gore is a total prick and his film The inconvenient truth is very very dumb.
I prepared this PDF in frustration at the very overblown claims made for a CO2 Anthropogenic control knob. King Canute is alive and well and living in IPCC land.

My main thrust? Save the planet from ecological destruction. Secondary aim: whilst preserving social justice.
Method: Includes a Basic income – not a panacea, just a sine qua non. Inequality is not a crucial issue if everyone is guaranteed basic needs AND ecological limits are observed.
