In a moment of unusual candor, a UN bureaucrat admitted that global warming is really about wealth redistribution.
CFACT shared his statement on a new billboard, right outside the Rockies 50,000+ seat ball park in Denver, Colorado.

How long do you think the greenies in Colorado will let the thing stay up ?
Nice to see, even if it’s only up there for a while.
This is so brilliant. Made me smile. Way to go, CFACT. 🙂
The greenies won’t like it, P Walker, but they can’t stop it. And just think of the crowds seeing this! Delicious!
it’ll probably be destroyed in a violent manner.
probably by someone who considers themselves nonviolent.
“One must say clearly that as unaccountable, unelected, grotesquely irresponsible Enemies of the People we of the Global Commissariat will confiscate any ‘wealth’ we can, shovel it to our insatiable Nomenklatura, and call this ‘redistribution’ for the peons’ benefit.”
Thanks Anthony. Ever once in a while I enjoy reading something that makes me smile.

Let me get this straight – you (America) borrow from the Chinese to pay the IPCC to pay the Chinese and a few other dictators lacking suitable palaces in Africa and other assorted vacation spots? Seems sensible to me! What’s a dictator to do without a beautiful palace?
Glad to see we’re finally starting to fight back with advertising!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can’t just blog to win. “Just blog it” is good but not good enough.
Anyway, the full quote: “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy…Basically it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization…One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.” -Ottmar Edenhoffer
TRUTH WILL WIN!
Thanks for sharing that refreshing example of freedom of speech in action, A-th-y.
The message presented on the billboard is too complex to be effective.
I wonder if Edenhofer was including HIS wealth when he made that statement.
The possessive of “Rockies” is “Rockies’ “, just like the possessive of any other word ending in “s”, with the apostrophe following the “s” rather than preceding it’. “Rockie’s” would indicate something belonging to “Rockie”.

Some more quotes:
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that .. global warming .. would fit the bill…. humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is a real one or….one invented for the purpose.” -Club of Rome
“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States… [we] must design a stable, low-consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth.” -John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar, 1973 [way before the agw scare, so they’ve wanted to do this from the start]
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” -Maurice Strong, ex UNEP Director
“The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe.” -Daniel Botkin, ex Chair of Environmental Studies, UCSB
“I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of … how dangerous it is.” -Al Gore
“We have to offer up scary scenarios… each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective [lying] and being honest [ineffective].” -Stephen Schneider, lead ipcc author, 1989
“[Scientists] are making up their facts to fit their conclusions. They’ve already caught them doing this.” -Rand Paul, Kentucky
“I gave up on Judith Curry a while ago. I don’t know what she think’s she’s doing, but its not helping the cause.” -Michael Mann, Climategate Email
“You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling C02′” – Reid Bryson, the ‘Father of climatology’
They call it “wealth redistribution”, I call it thievery. Potato potahto.
The famous headline in a regional british rag during the WW2 probably takes the prize for editorial cockups.
“Eighth Army push bottles up Germans”
“…a UN bureaucrat admitted that global warming is really about wealth redistribution.”
No he didn’t, but you sure got the mouthbreathers all worked up. You really should not get your news from from far right wing nuts. If you read the actual interview, you can see that Edenhofer is saying that moving away from fossil fuels “could” redistribute the world’s wealth (this seemingly modest misquote that you regurgitated, changing what he said from “could” to an implication of “is intended to” does serve to entirely change the meaning, which was the goal, of course). He clearly is not talking about taking wealth from rich people and giving it to poor people, but rather that the ascendency of countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq could come to an end. You would think the mouthbreathers would be okay with that, but that won’t stop a few hundred from stopping by and ranting about this false interpretation.
Sceptics such as Andrew Montford and Anthony Watts agree with the mainstream view that the greenhouse effect brings about atmospheric warming as a result of carbon emissions, but dispute levels of climate sensitivity. However, others offer far more fundamental challenges to climate science, such as fringe sceptic group Principia Scientific who reject this orthodox view of atmospheric physics.

Big, big OOPS! . Wrong thread for my post above..
The heart of the matter.
Matt Skaggs,
From the Newsbusters link I read this exerpt,
(emphasis added)
1. Are you saying this is an inaccurate reproduction of the interview?
2. If so, can you point me to a source you consider to be more accurate and explain why that source is more accurate?
Thanks,
Matt Skaggs, I’ve seen the same quote unchallenged many times. That doesn’t make it true but… do you have any reference to transcript of the interview that would back your version?
best

Easy now!, don’t get your knickers in a twist, but the quote attributed to Edenhofer says, if accurately quoted, “One must say clearly that we redistribute the world’s wealth by climate policy.”
That is a pretty unequivocal statement.
problem is…it’s preaching to the choir
People smart enough to get it….got it already
…the rest will never get it
So basically, what the UNIPCC wants is a defacto worldwide socialism. Glad they have finally admitted it. Don’t seem to be ashamed about it either.
Janice Moore at 1:31 pm says A-th-y
lol, but will that get -nt-ony’s attention? And btw thanks the other night for coining the term of PTW or Precision Targeted Weaponry for sharp language wielded against the doomers. I liked that.
To all: note that my first quote above, of Ottmar, I said was the “full quote” from the billboard, but a closer examination indicates that they are very similar but separate quotes, for what it’s worth.
