Using the Climate to Transform the World

KATOWICE, Poland — Just a few weeks before the United Nations “climate change” summit in Poland, where more than 30,000 globalists and global warmists met to plot your future, outrage over carbon taxes in France imposed under the UN “Paris Agreement” finally boiled over. Hundreds of thousands of protesters were involved in everything from blocking traffic to taking over fuel depots. Wearing bright yellow vests, furious French citizens crushed by high taxes on fuel and energy poured into the streets. Their target: carbon taxes.

They demanded, among other things, that the global-warming policies imposed under the UN “Paris Agreement” be repealed — permanently. They also called for the politically toxic French President Emmanuel Macron to resign immediately. Sometimes, as happens often in French protests, citizens went overboard. But their point was made loud and clear — and Macron eventually had to back down, at least temporarily. The government finally agreed to delay the tax and listen to public concerns.    

The timing could not have been more disastrous for Macron and the globalists hoping to use climate alarmism to reshape the world. Indeed, the protests were a frequent topic of conversation throughout the summit, even though the establishment media did their best to downplay the origin of the protests — the carbon tax imposed by French authorities. Not surprisingly, globalist PR experts put their own spin on the fiasco, claiming that the government should have offered more welfare to poorer citizens to bring them along. But virtually everybody, including the French government, recognized how bad the optics were.
