Subject: UK's Gordon Brown makes bid for reverse-globalization
Date: Oct 20, 2009 9:46 AM
BBC ARTICLE BELOW
========================
Now, 30-40 years after the Embargoes
and the Energy Hysteria, Nixon and
Kissingers' Undoing of Bretton Woods, and
with the 1970s' "Futurists" running around
campuses talking about population explosions
and the drain on the world, and especially
after the failed Resources Wars in the
Middle East, and the emergence of BRIC
and the new formal Russia-China alliance,...
this twerp Brown is now talking GW hysteria
like it was Sept 2008, when we heard the same
The-Sky-is-Falling-Hysteria from the Banksters.
Um. No Gordy, the world is not going
to cave to your NWO actionplans this time.
We're not going to accept this hysteria
and scaremongering to pass laws that only
allow the Bigs' rights to the world's resources.
We already seen dat movie.
What's going to happen is this:
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/10/19
Militias guarding the local resources.
Remember, Gordy, we already 'seen these
hysteria signs- it's ALWAYS about
resources for youz. Aghanistan, 911,
Iraq, Incoming Bankster Bailout (which
obviously preceded the 911 show), the
Bush Family's History of Fascism:
http://www.actionlyme.org/DURHAM_BUSH_CRIME.htm
And we 'seen it every time we show
a legitimate claim against the CDC.
The CDC reliably and predictably starts
calling Americans "FAT" whenever they're
under the gun.
We know the routine.
The routine is that whenever we're fed
something irrational on its face, it is
just that:
Halloween Time.

PM warns of climate 'catastrophe'
The UK faces a "catastrophe" of floods, droughts and killer heatwaves
if world leaders fail to agree a deal on climate change, the prime
minister has warned.
Gordon Brown said negotiators had 50 days to save the world from
global warming and break the "impasse".
He told the Major Economies Forum in London, which brings together 17
of the world's biggest greenhouse gas-emitting countries, there was
"no plan B".
World delegations meet in Copenhagen in December for talks on a new
treaty.
'Rising wave'
The United Nations (UN) summit will aim to establish a deal to replace
the 1997 Kyoto treaty as its targets for reducing emissions only apply
to a small number of countries and expire in 2012.
Mr Brown warned that negotiators were not reaching agreement quickly
enough and said it was a "profound moment" for the world involving
"momentous choice".
“ Once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no
retrospective global agreement, in some future period, can undo that
choice ”
Gordon Brown
"In Britain we face the prospect of more frequent droughts and a
rising wave of floods," he told delegates.
"The extraordinary summer heatwave of 2003 in Europe resulted in over
35,000 extra deaths.
Grim warning
"On current trends, such an event could become quite routine in
Britain in just a few decades' time. And within the lifetime of our
children and grandchildren the intense temperatures of 2003 could
become the average temperature experienced throughout much of Europe."
The costs of failing to tackle the issue would be greater than the
impact of both world wars and the Great Depression combined, the prime
minister said.
ANALYSIS
Richard Black, BBC News
During his term as chancellor, environmental groups often accused
Gordon Brown of not paying enough attention to climate change, and the
Treasury of blocking "green" policies. He was sometimes compared
unfavourably to Tony Blair.
However, Mr Brown promoted the inclusion of developing countries in
climate finance during the UK's term as G7 president in 2005. And this
year, his involvement has become much more overt.
He was the first head of government to commit to attending December's
UN summit in Copenhagen; and his recent call to establish a $100bn
(£61bn) per year fund for climate adaptation is widely seen as giving
impetus to those negotiations.
Whether current scientific understanding warrants his warning of
"catastrophe" for the UK if greenhouse gas levels rise unchecked is
perhaps open to question. A recent report by Kofi Annan's Global
Humanitarian Forum found the UK was one of 12 nations least likely to
be affected by climate impacts.
The world would face more conflict fuelled by climate-induced
migration if a deal was not agreed, he added.
He told the forum, on the second day of talks in the capital, that by
2080 an extra 1.8 billion people - a quarter of the world's current
population - could lack sufficient water.
Mr Brown said: "If we do not reach a deal at this time, let us be in
no doubt: once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no
retrospective global agreement, in some future period, can undo that
choice.
"So we should never allow ourselves to lose sight of the catastrophe
we face if present warming trends continue."
Agreement at Copenhagen "is possible", he concluded.
"But we must frankly face the plain fact that our negotiators are not
getting to agreement quickly enough. So I believe that leaders must
engage directly to break the impasse."
Environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth said Mr Brown had
rightly identified the importance of securing a "strong and fair"
climate deal.
Executive director Andy Atkins said the environmental and economic
impacts of failing to tackle global warming would "dwarf anything seen
before".
He said: "The next few weeks are crucial in determining the long-term
future of the planet. The world must pull back from the brink and take
urgent action to slash its emissions."
In recent days there have been a number of warnings that progress is
stalling.
Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, told Newsweek magazine "the prospects that states will
actually agree to anything in Copenhagen are starting to look worse
and worse".
The Major Economies Forum is not part of the formal UN process and so
firm commitments are unlikely to come from the meeting.
It is seen instead as a gathering where countries can explore options
and positions in a less pressured environment.
