LINKS TO QUOTES REFERENCE  AT END ,

We should all want to be wise and careful stewards of the beautiful planet we call home. But most of us realise that humans in general are not being good stewards. We are wasteful with our natural resources and have reduced biodiversity. Therefore, when we read about groups and organisations calling for a 'green revolution' and a new relationship between humanity and nature it is easy to agree with their ideas. 

However, certain aspects of the modern green movement that is permeating every segment of our society are not about protecting the environment. You don’t have to dig very deep to discover the true beliefs of the influential leaders who are using genuine concerns about the environment to promote an agenda of fear and control. Please carefully consider the implications of the opinions that they so openly and freely express:

(references and sources for the quotes below can be found here)

"The common enemy of humanity is man.

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up 

with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, 

water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these

dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through

changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.

The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

- Club of Rome, 

premier environmental think-tank,

consultants to the United Nations

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We need to get some broad based support,

to capture the public's imagination...

So we have to offer up scary scenarios,

make simplified, dramatic statements

and make little mention of any doubts...

Each of us has to decide what the right balance

is between being effective and being honest."

- Prof. Stephen Schneider, 

Stanford Professor of Climatology,

lead author of many IPCC reports

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We've got to ride this global warming issue.

Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,

we will be doing the right thing in terms of 

economic and environmental policy."

- Timothy Wirth, 

President of the UN Foundation 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony...

climate change provides the greatest opportunity to

bring about justice and equality in the world."

- Christine Stewart,

former Canadian Minister of the Environment

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The data doesn't matter. We're not basing our recommendations 

on the data. We're basing them on the climate models.”

- Prof. Chris Folland,

Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The models are convenient fictions 

that provide something very useful.”

- Dr David Frame, 

climate modeler, Oxford University

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the facts 

on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience."

- Al Gore,

Climate Change activist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It doesn't matter what is true,

it only matters what people believe is true."

- Paul Watson,

co-founder of Greenpeace

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Unless we announce disasters no one will listen."

- Sir John Houghton,

first chairman of IPCC

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The only way to get our society to truly change is to

frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe."

- emeritus professor Daniel Botkin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and

spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest

opportunity to lift Global Consciousness to a higher level."

- Al Gore,

Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are on the verge of a global transformation.

All we need is the right major crisis..."

- David Rockefeller,

Club of Rome executive member

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Humanity is sitting on a time bomb. If the vast majority of the

world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a

major catastrophe that could send our entire planet's climate system

into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods,

droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have

ever experienced - a catastrophe of our own making." 

- Al Gore,

An Inconvenient Truth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are getting close to catastrophic tipping points,

despite the fact that most people barely notice the warming yet."

- Dr James Hansen,

NASA researcher

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"By the end of this century climate change will reduce the human

population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic."

- Sir James Lovelock,

Revenge of Gaia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Climate Change will result in a catastrophic global sea level

rise of seven meters. That's bye-bye most of Bangladesh,

Netherlands, Florida and would make London the new Atlantis."

- Greenpeace International

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This planet is on course for a catastrophe.

The existence of Life itself is at stake."

- Dr Tim Flannery,

Principal Research Scientist 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It's global warming. 

It's ruining our country. It's ruining our world." 

- Harry Reid,

U.S. Senate majority leader

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Climate Change is the greatest threat that

human civilization has ever faced."

- Angela Merkel,

German Chancellor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here,

and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new 

global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster."

- Barack Obama,

US President

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We simply must do everything we can in our power to

slow down global warming before it is too late."

- Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Governor of California

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Climate change should be seen as the

greatest challenge to ever face mankind."

- Prince Charles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Climate change makes us all global citizens,

we are truly all in this together."

- Gordon Brown,

British Prime Minister

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have reached the critical moment of decision on climate change.

Failure to act to now would be deeply and unforgivably irresponsible.

We urgently require a global environmental revolution."

- Tony Blair,

former British PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are close to a time when all of humankind 

will envision a global agenda that encompasses 

a kind of Global Marshall Plan to address the 

causes of poverty and suffering and 

environmental destruction all over the earth."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In Nature organic growth proceeds according 

to a Master Plan, a Blueprint. Such a ‘master plan’ is 

missing from the process of growth and development of

the world system. Now is the time to draw up a master plan for 

sustainable growth and world development based on global 

allocation of all resources and a new global economic system.

Ten or twenty years form today it will probably be too late."

- Club of Rome,

Mankind at the Turning Point

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We need a new paradigm of development in 

which the environment will be a priority. 

World civilization as we know it will soon end. 

We have very little time and we must act. 

If we can address the environmental problem, 

it will have to be done within a new system, a 

new paradigm. We have to change our mindset, 

the way humankind views the world."

- Mikhail Gorbachev,

founder of Green Cross International

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable,

indeed a sacred principle of international relations.

It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to

the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation."

- UN Commission on Global Governance report

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and

it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely.

Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well 

suited for the tasks ahead. The complexity and the technical nature 

of many of today’s problems do not always allow elected 

representatives to make competent decisions at the right time." 

- Club of Rome,

The First Global Revolution

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization

and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global

community will inevitably have multiple political consequences.

Perhaps the most important of them will be a gradual change

in the status of the United Nations. Inevitably, it must

assume some aspects of a world government."

- Mikhail Gorbachev,

State of the World Forum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I envisage the prinicles of the Earth Charter to

be a new form of the ten commandments.

They lay the foundation for a sustainable

global earth community."

- Mikhail Gorbachev,

co-author of The Earth Charter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In my view, after fifty years of service in the United Nations system,

I perceive the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper

Earth government. There is no shadow of a doubt that the present 

political and economic systems are no longer appropriate

and will lead to the end of life evolution on this planet.

We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for new ways."

- Dr Robert Muller, 

UN Assistant Secretary General,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty 

to the international community and beginning to create a 

new system of international environmental governance 

as a means of solving otherwise unmanageable crises."

- Lester Brown,

WorldWatch Institute 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Regionalism must precede globalism.

We foresee a seamless system of governance from

local communities, individual states, regional unions

and up through to the United Nations itself."

- UN Commission on Global Governance 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that 

fundamental changes will have to take place in the world order 

and its power structures, in the distribution of wealth and income.

Perhaps only a new and enlightened humanism

can permit mankind to negotiate this transition."

- Club of Rome,

Mankind at the Turning Point

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The alternative to the existing world order can only

emerge as a result of a new human dimension of progress. 

We envision a revolution of the mind, a new way of thinking."

- Mikhail Gorbachev,

State of the World Forum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We require a central organizing principle - one agreed to voluntarily.

Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvement in laws and regulations,

rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change - these are all forms of

appeasement, designed to satisfy the public’s desire to believe that

sacrifice, struggle and a wrenching transformation

of society will not be necessary."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Adopting a central organizing principle...

means embarking on an all-out effort to use every 

policy and program, every law and institution...

to halt the destruction of the environment."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound

reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world

has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both

governments and individuals and an unprecedented

redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift

will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences

of every human action be integrated into individual and

collective decision-making at every level." 

- UN Agenda 21

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The current course of development is thus clearly unsustainable.

Current problems cannot be solved by piecemeal measures.

More of the same is not enough. Radical change from the

current trajectory is not an option, but an absolute necessity.

Fundamental economic, social and cultural changes that

address the root causes of poverty and environmental

degradation are required and they are required now."

– from the Earth Charter website

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, 

which is nature's proper steward and society's only hope." 

- David Brower,

founder of Friends of the Earth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If we don't overthrow capitalism, we don't have a chance of

saving the world ecologically. I think it is possible to have

an ecologically sound society under socialism. 

I don't think it is possible under capitalism" 

- Judi Bari,

principal organiser of Earth First! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the 

industrialized civilizations collapse? 

Isn't it our responsiblity to bring that about?"

- Maurice Strong,

founder of the UN Environment Programme

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the

United States. De-development means bringing our

economic system into line with the realities of

ecology and the world resource situation."

- Paul Ehrlich, 

Professor of Population Studies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another

United States. We can't let other countries have the same 

number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the US. 

We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are."

- Michael Oppenheimer,

Environmental Defense Fund

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty,

reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control."

- Professor Maurice King

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place 

for capitalists and their projects. We must reclaim the roads and 

plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, 

free shackled rivers and return to wilderness 

millions of acres of presently settled land."

- David Foreman, 

co-founder of Earth First! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Complex technology of any sort is an assault on 

human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to

discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy,

because of what we might do with it."

- Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the

worst thing that could happen to the planet."

- Jeremy Rifkin,

Greenhouse Crisis Foundation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the 

equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun."

- Prof Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Our insatiable drive to rummage deep beneath

the surface of the earth is a willful expansion

of our dysfunctional civilization into Nature."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The big threat to the planet is people: there are too many,

doing too well economically and burning too much oil."

– Sir James Lovelock,

BBC Interview

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My three main goals would be to reduce human population to

about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure

and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species,

returning throughout the world." 

-Dave Foreman,

co-founder of Earth First! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the

affluent middle class - involving high meat intake,

use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning,

and suburban housing - are not sustainable."

- Maurice Strong,

Rio Earth Summit 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mankind is the most dangerous, destructive, 

selfish and unethical animal on the earth."

- Michael Fox,

vice-president of The Humane Society 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Human beings, as a species, 

have no more value than slugs." 

- John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Humans on the Earth behave in some ways like a

pathogenic micro-organism, or like the cells of a tumor."

- Sir James Lovelock,

Healing Gaia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The Earth has cancer

and the cancer is Man."

- Club of Rome,

Mankind at the Turning Point

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; 

the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people.

We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to 

the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many 

apparently brutal and heartless decisions.''

- Prof Paul Ehrlich,

The Population Bomb 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't claim to have any special interest in natural history, 

but as a boy I was made aware of the annual fluctuations in 

the number of game animals and the need to adjust 

the cull to the size of the surplus population." 

- Prince Philip,

preface of Down to Earth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A reasonable estimate for an industrialized world society

at the present North American material standard of living 

would be 1 billion. At the more frugal European standard

of living, 2 to 3 billion would be possible."

- United Nations,

Global Biodiversity Assessment

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A total population of 250-300 million people, 

a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

- Ted Turner,

founder of CNN and major UN donor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"... the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence

more than 500 million but less than one billion."

- Club of Rome,

Goals for Mankind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One America burdens the earth much more than 

twenty Bangladeshes. This is a terrible thing to say. 

In order to stabilize world population,we must eliminate 

350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say,

but it's just as bad not to say it."

- Jacques Cousteau,

UNESCO Courier

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth

as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,

patron of the World Wildlife Fund

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I suspect that eradicating small pox was wrong.

It played an important part in balancing ecosystems."

- John Davis, editor of Earth First! Journal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The extinction of the human species may not

only be inevitable but a good thing."

- Christopher Manes, Earth First!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The extinction of Homo Sapiens would mean survival 

for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. 

Phasing out the human race will solve every 

problem on Earth - social and environmental.”

- Ingrid Newkirk,

former President of PETA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against

society, unless the parents hold a government license.

All potential parents should be required to use

contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing

antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."

- David Brower, 

first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The fate of mankind, as well as of religion, depends upon

the emergence of a new faith in the future. 

Armed with such a faith, we might find 

it possible to resanctify the earth."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The greatest hope for the Earth lies in religionists and 

scientists uniting to awaken the world to its near fatal predicament

and then leading mankind out of the bewildering maze of 

international crises into the future Utopia of humanist hope."

- Club of Rome,

Goals for Mankind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What an incredible planet in the universe this will be

when we will be one human family living in justice,

peace, love and harmony with our divine Earth, 

with each other and with the heavens."

- Robert Muller, 

UN Assistant Secretary General

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The earth is literally our mother, not only because we depend on

her for nurture and shelter but even more because the human

species has been shaped by her in the womb of evolution....

Our salvation depends upon our ability

to create a religion of nature."

- Rene Dubos, 

board member, Planetary Citizens

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Each element, plant, insect, fish and animal

represents a certain aspect of Gaia's - and our - being.

In a way, we are Gaia's intelligence and awareness

- currently lost in self-destructive madness.

We must acknowledge, respect and love her for being

the Mother she is to us or we deny our very selves. 

Nurture the Mother as she nurtures us."

- Prof. Michael J. Cohen, 

Ecopsychologist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It is the responsibility of each human being today to 

choose between the force of darkness and the force of light.

We must therefore transform our attitudes, and adopt a renewed

respect for the superior laws of Divine Nature."

- Maurice Strong,

first Secretary General of UNEP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The spirit of our planet is stirring! 

The Consciousness of Goddess Earth 

is now rising against all odds, 

in spite of millennia of suppression, 

repression and oppression inflicted on Her 

by a hubristic and misguided humanity. 

The Earth is a living entity, a biological organism 

with psychic and spiritual dimensions. 

With the expansion of the patriarchal religions 

that focused on a male God majestically 

stationed in Heaven ruling over the Earth and the 

Universe, the memory of our planet's innate Divinity 

was repressed and banished into the 

collective unconscious of humanity."

- Envision Earth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Still more important is the implication that the evolution of

homo sapiens, with his technological inventiveness and his

increasingly subtle communications network, has vastly increased

Gaia's range of perception. She is now through us awake and aware

of herself. She has seen the reflection of her fair face through the

eyes of astronauts and the television cameras of orbiting spacecraft.

Our sensations of wonder and pleasure, our capacity

for conscious thought and speculation, our restless curiosity and

drive are hers to share. This new interrelationship of Gaia with man

is by no means fully established; we are not yet a truly collective

species, corralled and tamed as an integral part of the biosphere,

as we are as individual creatures. It may be that the destiny of

mankind is to become tamed, so that the fierce, destructive, and

greedy forces of tribalism and nationalism are fused into a

compulsive urge to belong to the commonwealth of all

creatures which constitutes Gaia."

– Sir James Lovelock, 

Gaia: A New Look At Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Little by little a planetary prayer book is

thus being composed by an increasingly united

humanity seeking its oneness. Once again,

but this time on a universal scale, humankind is

seeking no less than its reunion with 'divine,'

its transcendence into higher forms of life. Hindus

call our earth Brahma, or God, for they rightly

see no difference between our earth and the divine.

This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning again upon

humanity, as we are about to enter our cosmic age

and become what we were always meant to be:

the planet of god."

- Robert Muller, 

UN Assistant Secretary General

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What if Mary is another name for Gaia? Then her capacity for

virgin birth is no miracle . . . it is a role of Gaia since life began . . .

She is of this Universe and, conceivably, a part of God. On Earth,

she is the source of life everlasting and is alive now;

she gave birth to humankind and we are part of her."

- Sir James Lovelock, 

Ages of Gaia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nature is my god. To me, nature is sacred;

trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals."

- Mikhail Gorbachev, 

Green Cross International

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The spiritual sense of our place in nature...

can be traced to the origins of human civilization....

The last vestige of organized goddess worship

was eliminated by Christianity."

- Al Gore,

Earth in the Balance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Christianity is our foe. If animal rights is to succeed,

we must destroy the Judeo-Christian Religious tradition."

- Peter Singer, founder of Animal Rights 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I pledge allegiance to the Earth and all its sacred parts.

Its water, land and living things and all its human hearts."

- Global Education Associates,

The Earth Pledge 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"By fostering a deep sense of connection to others and to the earth

in all its dimensions, holistic education encourages a sense of

responsibility to self to others and to the planet."

- Global Alliance for Transforming Education

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The earth is not dead matter. She is alive.

Now begin to speak to the earth as you walk.

You can speak out loud, or just talk to her in your mind.

Send your love into her with your exhalation. Feel your

heart touching upon the heart of the planet. Say to her

whatever words come to you: Mother Earth, I love you.

Mother Earth, I bless you. May you be healed. May all

your creatures be happy. Peace to you, Mother Earth.

On behalf of the human race, I ask forgiveness

for having injured you. Forgive us, Mother Earth"

- US Student Textbook, 

"Prayer to the Earth"

Wirth, Timothy. National Journal interview, 1990

In my previous position I spent 8 hours a day making these inspections. People not complying with their permits were issued with 'on the spot fines'. In my view less than 20% of these permits were actually contributing to good environmental outcomes like preventing degradation and protecting biodiversity. I kept asking myself 'what has this got to do with environmental management?' Even more disturbing was the fact that all our policies and plans were required to begin with a description of how they met the objectives of Agenda 21 and various other UN agreements, and were audited to determine how they complied with UN requirements. So I started looking into who the primary architects were behind Agenda 21, the Earth Charter, the GBA, the Kyoto Protocol, and the various conventions on biodiversity and conservation.

I was amazed to find that the same names kept appearing. In fact the same person is listed as the chief author of all those documents I just listed. He also headed the UN Reform Committee, authored the UN report on Global Governance, was the Assistant Secretary-General of the UN (#2) in charge, president of the UN 'University of Peace' and the leader of the Baha'i movement in North America. His name is Maurice Strong. 

So I read every book, speech and lecture I could find authored by Mr Strong. I was absolutely anstonished by his worldview. And this man was #2 in charge of the UN for 12 years!! I also researched the other leaders, and most vocal proponents, of the modern green movement. I was amazed that the same phrases and concepts were being used by all of them. I read all the UN environmental reports and policies, all Al Gore's books, all of James Lovelock's books, Robert Muller, Paul Erhlich, Tim Flannery, and many more. They are full of references to the earth as a sacred sentient super-organism which is being destroyed by humanity's untamed destructive behaviour. 

Then I started researching the speeches given by political leaders who are the most vocal about green issues e.g. Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, Arnie, Gordon Brown, Gorbachev etc. It is as if they are all singing off the same songsheet. I also looked into the writings of the most vocal scientists such as James Hansen, Stephen Scheinder and Michael Mann. I was again amazed how many times they refer to the earth as a sentient super-organism called Gaia. Anyway ... I have been researching lots of people and documents. And then I wondered if there were any links between these people, since they had such similar ideologies. 

Then I discovered that many of them belonged to a group known as the Club of Rome. Current members of this 'Club' include Al Gore, Javier Solana, Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair, Jimmy Carter, Stephen Scheider, Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, George Soros, Ted Turner and many other influential leaders. Sometimes I think this must just be a bad dream, but when you read what they say, in their OWN words, and then you see it all unfolding... I'm not a conspiracy theorist but sometimes, in the face of overwhelming evidence, you just have to accept that there is more going on than meets the eye.

And so, based on my research, I have become personally convinced that 'climate change' is being used to implement a much deeper agenda. In order to protect Gaia from the 'voracious beast of capitalism' they must strike at the beast's lifeblood - fossil fuels. And in order to transition to 'sustainable global earth community' they must implement a new form of governance which will allow them to control, and ultimately reduce, human activity on this planet. I was quite dismayed when I first discovered all this, especially since I am a Christian, and wondered 'why did I waste seven years training for a career in an area that is being used to deceive so many?' and I then felt strongly compelled to warn others as best I could. And so I decided to write this website. I have tried to keep it as clear and concise, except it seems for this page, and use as many quotes and excerpts from official documents as possible
