Sustainable Development – Earth Charter Initiative

The Green Agenda - The Earth Charter “The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it willin fact become like the Ten Commandments.”- Maurice Strong The Earth Charter – Humanity’s Covenant with the Earth In 1992 Maurice Strong was the Secretary General of the historic United Nations Earth Summit in Rio. In order to ensure the success of the Summit, Strong’s wife, Hanne, held a vigil with the Wisdom-keepers, a group of "global transformationalists." Shortly after the Earth Summit concluded Strong formed the Earth Council, a group of “environmental visionaries and philosophers”, and set about drafting this “new global covenant”. The Earth Charter Commission approved the final text of the Earth Charter in 2000, and it has since been embraced by the United Nations, many religious leaders around the world, the majority of world governments and countless Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) and activist groups.

Organic Consumers Association Crossroad Welcome to WWF's global network Power Line - The Global Warming Hoax: A Summary Global warming alarmism is not science. It is a toxic combination of pseudo-religion and totalitarian politics. To the extent that there is any debate over climate science–the alarmists run from debate like vampires fleeing garlic–the “skeptics” always win. If you want to follow climate science controversies in a rigorous but accessible fashion, check out the Science and Environmental Policy Project’s web site. Policy makers at the head of government in the United States and elsewhere apparently want to believe, and to have others believe, that human use of fossil fuels accelerates global warming. It is worth noting that the alarmists are inconsistent, in that their own theory, that carbon dioxide is a sort of thermostat that controls Earth’s temperature, is plausible only if all objective effects of CO2 in the atmosphere are multiplied by “positive feedbacks” of various kinds.

Earth Hour - Earth Hour Global Site Author Larry Bell: Greed Fuels Global Warming Hoax Truth is exposing the charade of global warming’s scare tactics, professor and author Larry Bell tells Newsmax.TV. Bell, whose new book labels the warming argument a hoax based partly on greed, credits the reality check to a couple of factors, including a good dose of common sense. “One is people are looking out the window and noticing that the weather always changes and has been changing and getting cooler actually for the last 10 or 12 years,” Bell said during an exclusive interview. Another was the release in 2009 of thousands of hacked e-mails and other documents from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, “that basically revealed what most people a lot of scientists had known for a long time — that there were a lot of shenanigans going on, to put it in their words,” said Bell, an architecture professor at the University of Houston. Story continues below video. “You know the weather’s always changing, and you can’t take one season, one event,” Bell said.
