UN calls for contraction and convergence to low living standards
By David Wojick |February 23rd, 2021|Economy|13 Comments

The UN just published its first ever environmental synthesis report, with the expectedly scary title “Making Peace With Nature: A scientific blueprint to tackle the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergencies.” That’s right, now there are (hyperbolically) three emergencies, not just the climate one. In fact according to the UN we now have a “Planetary Crisis”. Not really.

Here is how the UN Secretary-General nonsensically puts it in the Forward to the report:

“Humanity is waging war on nature. This is senseless and suicidal. The consequences of our recklessness are already apparent in human suffering, towering economic losses and the accelerating erosion of life on Earth.“

In fact people are generally better off than ever before, with many developing countries successfully emerging from poverty. The only towering economic losses are those from the Covid panic. For that matter Covid is nature’s attack on us. Nature can be deadly.

Can't we just channel That Idiot Carter's "Economic Malaise" speech?

Yeah, I know, That Idiot Carter didn't use that term in his speech.   So what?   This is what the UN is preaching now, what Carter said, that we as Americans have to reduce our expectations that life for our children will be better than now.   

That's un-American.

And flat out wrong.

And why Rodents must be always opposed, at all levels.

Let them show the way by example if they are so sure. they need to give up their jets, limo's, cars computers, mansions and outrageous apartments. No restaurants and lavish parties.................what? They only mean that WE should contract to low living standards? Well they can FOAD!

That's what the UN has been preaching since 1992!  It's all a part of Vision 2020/Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.
