CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERS: HERE IS SOME MORE WEIRD STUFF FOR YOU

Trees cocooned in spiders webs, an unexpected side effect of the flooding in Sindh, Pakistan

SAY WHAT YOU WANT, THERE IS SOME PRETTY WEIRD STUFF HAPPENING EVERYWHERE

An unexpected side-effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters.

Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenomenon before - but they also report that there are now less mosquitoes than they would expect, given the amount of stagnant, standing water that is around.

It is thought that the mosquitoes are getting caught in the spiders web thus reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the floods.

Of course, the trees don’t like it much and will die from light deprivation. So where does that leave the spiders? ….Dead, that is where they will be; then there will be more mosquitoes and more malaria.

Sure, you climate change deniers are going to say: “That is just an isolated incident” but dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions of isolated incidents make up the body of very convincing evidence.

Then climate change deniers will say: "Look at all the snow falling...it is not getting warmer...it is getting colder...we have never had this much snow before"

Spider webs are incredible! Spider web material is about one-tenth the diameter of a human hair, but it has incredible strength. In fact it is ten times stronger than a steel strand of the same weight.

The dragline silk which makes up the spokes of the spider’s web is an amazing chemical design. Two proteins are used in these strands. Each protein contains three regions with distinct properties. The first takes a form that is called amorphous. An amorphous material is a plastic material like bubble gum that is stretchable. This is what gives the spider’s web its huge elasticity so when the spider’s prey hits the web, it stretches and does not break. Embedded in the amorphous material are two kinds of crystalline material. These crystalline materials toughen the web. They are tightly pleated and resist stretching, but only one of them is truly rigid. The pleats of the less rigid material anchor the rigid crystals to the matrix producing massive strength.

And yet, it is said that some of the webs on the trees have clumps of web with mosquitoes on them fall to the ground. Such is the amount of accumulation of those insects that it overwhelms even the web filaments themselves; and those are pretty strong it would be the equivalent of pulling a 20,000 locomotive with dental floss. And do you know how many mosquitoes it takes to make one pound?

It takes 400,000 mosquitoes to weigh a pound!

Henry Waxman: "Climate Change Moral Issue Like Civil Rights."

How can a proven "False Science" be compared to Slavery and Civil Rights? Watch this and ask yourself, how can an elected official make this statement? BTW, notice how "Global Warming" is now "Global Climate Change."

Global Warming: Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong's Trojan Horse

Mikhail Gorbachev "a lifelong Communist who clawed his way to the top of the murderous power structure of the Soviet Union, presided over the continued Soviet genocide of Afghanistan, and supported worldwide Communist repression, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation to terrorist states,[1]" is the founder and president of the Green Cross International, a non-governmental organization. This organization has been heavily involved with the environmental movement and the Global Warming agenda.

Along with Maurice Strong, they restarted the Earth Charter as a civil society initiative. The drafting of the text was done during a six-year worldwide consultation process (1994-2000), overseen by the independent Earth Charter Commission, which was convened by Strong and Gorbachev with the purpose of developing a global consensus on values and principles for a sustainable future.[2] Following the launch of the charter in the year 2000, the Earth Charter Commission turned over responsibility for the oversight of the Earth Charter Initiative and fundraising to a Steering Committee. In 2006, the Steering Committee was replaced by the Earth Charter Initiative Council, in which Gorbachev resides as a co-chairman. 

 
The stated mission of the Earth Charter Initiative is:

"...to promote the transition to sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace."

As you will see, the mission statement and the charter provide a means to bring about a global government, which is based on communist ideology and New Age beliefs. The papyrus in which the Earth Charter is printed on is held within the Ark of Hope. A wooden chest was created as a place of refuge for the Earth Charter document. It is basically a New Age knock-off of the Ark of the Covenant.

Ark of Hope aboard the Clearwater sailing into New York City.

Mother Earth (Gaia) Worship
The commandments, being held within the ark, were meant to worship Gaia, the Greek Earth Mother goddess. Each panel of the ark represents one of the five traditional elements of pagan worship: water, fire, earth, air and spirit.[3] 

According to the Ark of Hope website, the Ark's dimensions are 49" X 32" X 32" and it was crafted out of a single Sycamore plank. The Sycamore tree was sacred to most all the pagan religions in the Middle East during biblical times. To the Egyptians, the Sycamore was a healing tree. The tomb of Osiris was built in Sycamore wood, and shaded by Sycamore trees. Burial in Sycamore coffins was a symbolic return to the womb of the mother goddess; and the deceased hoped to live in the Sycamore tree. [4]

Contents of the Charter Explained
Based on the analysis by Contender Ministries, the charter’s preamble lays the groundwork for world government:

“We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society…. We urgently need a shared vision of basic values to provide an ethical foundation for the emerging world community.” 

To facilitate this goal, nations must:

“Avoid military activities damaging to the environment” (6^th Principle), and “Demilitarize national security systems to the level of a non-provocative defense posture, and convert military resources to peaceful purposes, including ecological restoration” (16^th Principle).  

Obviously, any bomb dropped and any bullet fired can result in damage to the environment.  In line with United Nations’ objectives, these principles will effectively eliminate the military powers of nation-states, and excesses will be redistributed to underdeveloped nations.

In the interest of fostering “sustainable economic development”, the United Nations and associated organizations have been strong proponents of population control measures like China’s one-child policy.  In the Earth Charter, this is echoed in the seventh principle:  

“[nations must] Ensure universal access to health care that fosters reproductive health and responsible reproduction.” 

This is a euphemistic way of endorsing population control, and consequently abortion as part of family planning.

Under the auspices of the Earth Charter, Christians could find themselves committing a violation of law by evangelizing to non-Christians.  The charter states that nations must:

“Eliminate discrimination in all its forms, such as that based on race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, language, and national, ethnic or social origin.” 

While the wording sounds noble, this clause could possibly find that evangelism is a form of discrimination based on religion.  What of our religious freedoms?  The authors of the Earth Charter recognized that many will be reluctant to give in to all these new demands, but:

“…we must find ways to harmonize diversity with unity, the exercise of freedom with the common good.” 

In other words, if the United Nations deems that your freedoms are contrary to the common good, your freedoms will be sacrificed.

According to end-times prophecy, the temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt.  The question of ‘how’ or ‘when’ remains elusive, as the temple mount is currently under the control of the Muslims, who have no intention of relinquishing it.  The Earth Charter may provide the means for the fulfillment of this prophecy.  The twelfth principle calls on nations to:

“Protect and restore outstanding places of cultural and spiritual significance” [emphasis added].

What do the Charter founders have to say publicly?

“The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it will in fact become like the Ten Commandments.” Maurice Strong

“Do not do unto the environment of others what you do not want done to your own environment....My hope is that this charter will be a kind of Ten Commandments, a 'Sermon on the Mount', that provides a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century.” Mikhail Gorbachev

Maurice Strong

While Maurice Strong, is regularly credited as founding father of the modern environmental movement. In this early BBC interview filmed in 1972, Strong is already propagating the lie of Global Warming.


(YouTube link)

This is some of the research done by Jesse Ventura: Conspiracy Theories.


(YouTube)

Strong currently serves on the board of directors of Chicago Climate Exchange[3]. Along with Gorbachev, Strong was a leading initiate of the Earth Summit in the early 90s, where the theory of global warming was advanced. 

Gorbachev's Other Work 

Mikhail Gorbachev also founded the Gorbachev Foundation. The foundation is located in San Francisco, CA, and where Wikipedia says it is active in researching the Perestroika era, current issues of Russian history, and politics. The foundation's site says it contributes to the strengthening and spread of democracy and economic liberalization through a program of advocacy, research, and education.

If you look closer, he calls for a kind of perestroika, or restructuring of societies around the world, starting in particular with that of the United States. He believes that the economic crisis shows that the Washington consensus economic model is a failure that will have to be replaced. According to Gorbachev, countries such as Brazil, Malaysia and China, which rejected the Washington consensus and the International Monetary Fund approach to economic development, have done far better economically on the whole, and achieved far more fair results for the average citizen, than countries that accepted it.[5]

In 1995, Gorbachev founded the "State of the World Forum." It meets regularly to advance mostly far left ideas, including Global Warming.[6]  Presently led by Jim Garrison, they push toward an 80% decrease in energy use by the year 2020. They say that "at the very most, we have about ten years to act before natural forces spin out of any human capacity to control events." You can see their big business and private supporters here.

Agenda 21 
Agenda 21 is a comprehensive United Nations plan of action to be taken globally, nationally, and locally by organizations of the United Nations system, governments, and major groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. It is a blueprint for global transformation.

Agenda 21 is a UN law document, whereas the Earth Charter lays out the principles which laws and regulations will have to promote and enforce. The Agenda 21 architects were Mikhail Gorbachev and  Maurice Strong.

Conclusion
The driving force of the environmental movement is not for a cleaner planet — or a world that doesn’t get too hot — but a leftist, egalitarian urge to create a totalitarian government. The Bible teaches that in the last days the world will be under control of a one world government, so we know this will eventually occur. We also know that this final kingdom with give all authority to a single leader (the beast), who will rule the world with an iron hand. The days of the United Nations ruling the world government are not far off. Some day in the near future the door of the huge horse will open, and the surprise that was being held inside will emerge. Were you fooled?

"The environmental crisis is the cornerstone for the New World Order."  Mikail Gorbachev [7] 

Jeremy Rifkin: "On the Brink of Our Extinction"

Jeremy Rifkin claims that agricultural, especially the beef industry, causes more global warming than all of the transportation industry.

He is really saying that we should all give up meat. If we are dying from our capitalistic affluence from eating grain-fed meat, then it's the natural progression to give it up for the good of all.


(YouTube link)

In part 2, he says that animal husbandry should be taxed, and we should go to a Mediterranean diet. This diet doesn't totally give up meat, but acts as a side dish, with vegetables, pasta, legumes, and grains being the main dish.

In part 3 he explains that we are beginning to enter a third industrial revolution, so we will have to begin to think differently as we gain a global consciousness. In a global community, everyone depends upon everyone else, where we no longer serve self interests. Sound like Communism to me.

There is a major flaw in this plan. Drought has not been figured into this equation. Perhaps this is part of their eugenics program.

What sort of world will this be in another 20 years? We can only ask, "Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"

Agenda 21: The UN's Plan to Save the Earth

Agenda 21 is the unrighteous undertaking of the United Nations to create a global green movement to save the earth. It is a radical New Age game plan, said to be able to simultaneously slow global warming and world economic disparity woes which has gained major backing from key world leaders. One of the prominent endorsers is Jeremy Rifkin.

In Rifkin's book titled The Emerging Order, he leads you through the origins of liberal thought (from Calvin) and tries to create a sympathetic view of the liberal's obligation to save our depleted planet. To do this, he points at the ugliness of greedy, self-interested capitalism, and tries to see the righteousness of the compassionate ways of liberalism. He blames the goals and depletion of the world's natural resources on capitalism. He wants us to transition the world from the "age of growth" to the "age of scarcity," and has his game plan ready.

Rifkin's compassionate views of liberalism are not so compassionate. Many of his views are directly from the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. He's concerned about:

• The growing world population depleting the planet. (although he doesn't promote killing people off)
• The world's ability to produce enough food for the population.
• The obligation of the poor to provide for the rich. (redistribution of wealth)
• The belief that if we should spread our wealth around. Forcing the redistribution of wealth from the "have" nations to the "have not" nations. (U.S. companies moving overseas)
• The concept of private property will shift to consumer goods and services, but not land - all being in our public duty. 
• The serious concern for global warming and the desire for a more sustainable means of living.

 With the assistance and lies of Jeremy Rifkin, the United Nations has been able to adopt Agenda 21. It is a sustainable development plan for the environment, and it is our obligation to help. Here is more about the UN plan.


(YouTube link)

These people are not a group of whiners. It stems from the knowledge that the earth running out of resources and global warming is based on a lie, and it is all about the control of the population. Unfortunately, we're along for the ride!

"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

One last thought
One of the points in his book that I found especially disturbing are his comments on redistribution of wealth. He equated world missions with the redistribution of wealth. In a comment about Pat Robertson, one of the kings of world missions, Rifkin stated:

"...Robertson has gone much farther than the other electronic evangelists in advancing the issue of economic justice. In a recent edition in his newsletter to supporters, he called for a jubilee year, the cancellation of debts between rich and poor nations, and a greater concern over the need for all Christians to serve as good stewards, protecting God's creation and sharing God's resources equitably."  (pg. 103)

To clarify, I don't believe world missions are evil. There is a difference between sending cash to a world mission, and supporting a missionary family from your church. It is the desire of the missionary to reach a people group, whereas it is the objective of world mission to redistribute wealth.
 

Jeremy Rifkin: Spooky Dude #3

If there were ever a man who was part of the Illuminati, Jeremy Rifkin surely is. I say that because I have been reading a couple of his books, one written in the late 1970s, the other in the early 80s. The ideas put forth in these books are now being implemented. Glenn Beck calls George Soros a "spooky dude," but Rifkin has to be a close third, with Henry Kissinger being #2.

I first learned about Rifkin from Constance Cumbey's book A Planned Deception: The Staging of a New Age 'Messiah.' She said that he was a New Ager who was interviewed by Pat Robertson on the 700 Club, and promoted Rifkin's book. Cumbey wrote that "Robertson praised Rifkin's Entropy unpublished manuscript," which was part of a Bantam New Age book series. It examined the concept of a Year of Jubilee which Rifkin's viewed as "fundamental redistribution of wealth."  Cumbey stated that "One way Rifkin says we will have the moral courage to make this changeover or voluntary redistribution of wealth is through a new metaphysical orientation - a new world view."

Rifkin's new worldview called for voluntary poverty, simplicity, communal sharing, a reduction in the world's population, etc. When this interview was originally broadcasted, she said it didn't appeal to the CBN or TBN crowd, being heavy into the wealth and prosperity doctrine. The fact is that he has a goal of changing the world's economic system to facilitate the coming paradigm shift.

Rifkin has become the principal architect of the Third Industrial Revolution. This is based on the premise that we are at the end of the Industrial Age, which has caused our earth to run out of natural resources. It is a long-term economic sustainability plan to address the challenge of the global economic crisis, energy security, and climate change. It will be a Green Industrial Revolution. Remember these books were written over 30 years ago.

As you may know, apocalyptic prophecies are a common theme in mind control cultism. His vision of an approaching collapse of civilization has been in the making for a while. He also spoke about a “transformation.”  The word was used to describe a planned, intentional “Second Reformation” (now called “New Apostolic Reformation”). An early proposal for a “Second Protestant Reformation” appeared in The Emerging Order. He wrote that it "could provide the kind of liberating force that could topple the prevailing ethos and provide a bridge to the next age of history."  It was as though it were a blueprint for the Evangelical movement.

I you are new to my blog, 

"The New Apostolic Reformation is a movement in Protestant Christianity largely associated with the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. The basic thesis asserts that God is restoring the lost offices of church governance, namely the offices of Prophet and Apostle. The New Apostolic Reformation has Pentecostal and Charismatic origins, with those traditions' interpretations of the nature of the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit within a believer. Unlike mainstream Protestant Christianity, these include the performance of miracles (such as healing), prophecy, and the direct revelation of Christ to each believer.

Although the movement regards the Church as the true body of saved believers, as most Evangelical Protestants do, it differs from the broader Protestant tradition in its view on the nature of church leadership, specifically the doctrine of Five-Fold Ministry, which is based upon a non-traditional interpretation of Ephesians 4:11."[1]

Who is Jeremy Rifkin?

Jeremy Rifkin is founder and president of the Foundation On Economic Trends, an American economist, writer, public speaker, political advisor and activist. Rifkin's work explores the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment. He is an intellectual thinker and is a futurist.

He holds a degree in international affairs from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Jeremy Rifkin is the founder and chairperson of the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Roundtable, comprising more than 100 of the world's leading renewable energy companies, construction companies, architectural firms, real estate companies, IT companies, power and utility companies, and transport and logistics companies.

Now, this is where the rubber meets the road. Rifkin has advised both the European Commission and the European Parliament. He has also advised Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero of Spain during its presidency of the European Union. Rifkin also served as an adviser to Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Prime Minister Jose Socrates of Portugal, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, and Prime Minister Janez Janša of Slovenia, during their respective European Council Presidencies, on issues related to the economy, climate change, and energy security. [2]

Rifkin and his ideas are not without controversy. He is the author of seventeen books on the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society and the environment. He advocates a new type of economic thinking. His books have been translated into more than thirty languages and are used in hundreds of universities, corporations and government agencies around the world. Rifkin is one of the highest rated speakers on the international lecture circuit on the topics of globalization, sustainability and shifting to a new energy era and low-carbon economy. [3]

The following is a series of unrelated videos in Rifkin's own words.

The Third Industrial Revolution

Rifkin has been quoted saying:

“We are on the cusp of a new energy era and a new economic paradigm that will literally “empower” hundreds of millions of human beings to create their own energy and share their surpluses with neighbors across regions, nations and continents. The democratization of energy gives rise to a new Distributed Energy Vision in the 21st century that will change our economic, cultural and political institutions as dramatically as the Enlightenment vision that accompanied the first industrial revolution two centuries ago.

According to Rifkin, “the same design principles and smart technologies that made possible the internet and vast “distributed” global communication networks, are just beginning to be used to reconfigure the world’s power grids so that people can produce renewable energy and share it peer-to-peer, just like they now produce and share information, creating a new, decentralized form of energy use.”

He says, “We need to envision a future in which millions of individuals can collect and produce locally generated renewable energy in their homes, offices, factories, and vehicles, store that energy in the form of hydrogen, and share their power generation with each other across a continent-wide intelligent intergrid.” [4]

Why are they doing this? They would say it will save the people who live on this planet, but it's all about money, power, and control.

Sounding alarm on dangers of environmental extremism that is entering into the Church. It manipulates the Bible to move the green agenda.

"The God of Ancient Babylon was Baal...Ancient Babylon and the Tower of Babel...the king said basically, "You know what? We're all going to be one. It's the first Socialism - Totalitarianism. The God of Ancient Babylon, Baal, was the god of weather, war, and commerce. The reason why is that he who controls the weather, then can make money from the plantings, and can also wage war (because he can control the weather). This is the same god! The environmentalists are now worshiping the ancient god of Babylon! The god of weather! They are saying, "You've got to worship the god of weather! That way there won't be war, and there will be commerce, and we can all live. It's repeating itself from the very beginning." ~ Glenn Beck

Climate Change Used as Excuse For Population Control

(Canada Free Press) The major target for the Club of Rome was a population that was improving quality of life, health and the pursuit of happiness. It argued this was achieved by unsustainable exploitation of resources and destruction of nature.

As they explain; “If the present growth trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the limit to growth on this planet will be reached sometime within the next one hundred years.”

It’s 40 years on and the predicted end is nowhere in sight despite efforts to amplify, distort and falsify evidence. It is wrong like all other predictions made by members of the Club, especially the population predictions of Paul Ehrlich and John Holdren. In 1971, Ehrlich recommended reducing the US population from its then 205 million because it was unsustainable. Despite this, pursuit of Club goals is more active as members control national and international finances and economies, hold political offices, or work through many private agencies under the guise of saving the planet. It is not a conspiracy, but pursuit of a political philosophy that has failed everywhere and anywhere it was tried. (Read more) 

UN warns climate change could trigger 'mega-disasters'

SYDNEY (AFP) – Weather-related catastrophes brought about by climate change are increasing, the top UN humanitarian official said Sunday as he warned of the possibility of "mega-disasters".

John Holmes, the UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, said one of the biggest challenges facing the aid community was the problems stemming from changing weather patterns.

"When it comes meteorological disasters, weather-related disasters, then there is a trend upwards connected with climate change," Holmes, who is in Australia for high-level talks on humanitarian aid, told AFP.

"The trend is there is terms of floods, and cyclones, and droughts." (Read more)

"Climate change for us is not some future indeterminate threat, it's happening in front of

our eyes," he said. "We can see it."

Aquarius: The Age of Evil

This movie has been newly released and is a must-see. In one part, the narrator talks about how the spirit of Maitreya has visited leaders of the world. Then in another, he compares Zeitgeist with Communism, and how it is the planned form of government for the future. This movie is from the Christian perspective - and there are few of those out there. If the Lord tarries, I believe we will see these plans brought together.

The movie is long, so you may want to view it over a few days time. This is disturbing.

Some impressive fear-mongering, sure. But it still pales into comparison to the one minute ad that shows a sighing ape hanging itself, and a suicidal kangaroo jumping into the path of a speeding train :



There used to be a YouTube clip of the above ad where someone had added Simon & Garfunkel's Bright Eyes as the soundtrack. It made the scenes of animal suicide so intensely grim it became funny.

Climate Change Debate : The Sequel

Even the New York Times is now conceding the debate over climate change is not over. The most popular thread of their discussion page is on the Science Of Global Warming. The online Old Media might not like 'The Denialists' but they sure do leave lots of comments, and that means clickfests :

Scientific American :

There is, in fact, a climate conspiracy. It just happens to be one launched by the fossil fuel industry to obscure the truth about climate change and delay any action.

Global warming-climate change

L to R Bob Mckerrow, Will Steger, Paul Schurke, Bob Mantell and Richard Weber.
This image was taken in May of 1985 on the Steger International Polar expedition . The dog with the sunglasses is Slidre, he went to the pole and Greeenland. Slidre was born at the Eureka weather station on Ellesmere Island.


On Monday I went out to a village in Jakarta to be interviewed by a movie director on the Global Warming-Climate change programme we are working on with the Indonesian Red Cross. It is interesting that most of us who were with Will Steger on his 1985-86 unsupported dog sled expedition to the North Pole, have become strong advocates for cutting green house gas emissions.

Will Steger the leader is currently leading the Global Warming 101 Expedition to Baffin Island which gives people an opportunity to learn first-hand how the Inuit culture is coping with global warming. The Will Steger Foundation is a nonprofit organization You can check it out on Will's site: http://www.globalwarming101.com/

The five of us pictured above spent considerable time in 1985 with Inuit communities living in the MacKenzie River Delta, Canada and along the coastline of the Arctic Ocean as we travelled by dog sled to Point Barrow, Alaska. We could see that the changing weather patterns were affecting their survival as traditional sources of food were reduced by the shrinking thickness and area of ice on the Arctic Ocean. The next year when we travelled to Baffin Island, we saw and heard the same story. I am delighted my old friend Will Steger is up there is Baffin Island bringing the reality of global warming to our computer screens. I will update you on the work we are doing here in Jakarta in the next few days when I get a spare minute
