Notes from a 'mole' in Al Gore's Climate Leadership Training

Jonathan Abbott,
That was the goal of Fabian Socialist John Dewey, Father of Progressive Education. link

…Kengor spoke at the America’s Survival conference at the National Press Club on October 21, 2010. “The Bolsheviks wasted no time getting John Dewey’s works into Russian,” Kengor writes in his book Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century. “In 1918, only three years after it was published in the United States, Dewey’s Schools of Tomorrow was published in Moscow.”
“Given what was happening in Russia at the time, this is staggering.” To wit: the Soviets, broke, were fighting a bloody civil war.
“Only a year after Schools of Tomorrow was published came a Russian translation of Dewey’s How We Think (1919) and then, in 1920, The School and Society,” Kengor relates. “These, too, came during the misery of the Russian Civil War (1918-21), which, according to historian W. Bruce Lincoln, snuffed out the lives of seven million men, women and children.” [Italics in original]
“Dewey’s ideas were apparently judged as crucial to the revolution as any weapon in the arsenal of the Red Army.” Kengor did much of his research in the archives of the Communist International, about as primary a source as you can get….

….He [Lenin] ordered the schools to adopt Dewey’s educational philosophies, and the test scores at the end of the semester were so abysmal, that he instituted the strictest form of European standards education, kind of a mix between the German and French forms. Rigid classrooms…
So after trying Dewey’s educational system and finding it was useless the Soviets tossed it. The USA however has kept it which is why our educational system is one of the worst in the world.

…For 10 years, William Schmidt, a statistics professor at Michigan State University, has looked at how U.S. students stack up against students in other countries in math and science. “In fourth-grade, we start out pretty well, near the top of the distribution among countries; by eighth-grade, we’re around average, and by 12th-grade, we’re at the bottom of the heap, outperforming only two countries, Cyprus and South Africa….

I find the vapid, repetitive emotional appeals of the warmists posted above genuinely terrifying. It is a salutary reminder that the sort of useful idiots that supported the murderous, genocidal totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century are still being churned out.

Hi John,
We are ordinary people organizing to reduce carbon emissions.

This is part of the knowledge that the recent warming is not natural variation.
====
So, you think we would be a 1/2 degree cooler…instead of a 1/2 degree warmer
…and that anyone would notice

This is a fraud that produces nothing but poverty. It does not produce a single penny of wealth and instead acts as a short circuit across the advancement and wealth of an entire civilization.
###############################
If energy independence is achieved with fossil fuels it will be very short lived. Once the renewable energy infrastructure is in this century, it would be an extra trillion dollars circulating at home rather than it leaving our shores. Millions of people with good jobs.

“Can we balance the need for a sustainable planet with the need to provide billions with decent living standards? Can we do that without questioning radically the Western way of life?”
########################
All the 100% renewable plans I have read aren’t about socialism. Its all on a capitalistic path.

you moron….what’s “basic” is that it didn’t happen
your link was 2010…..

RIGHTTTT…
And that is why MY TAXES are going to pay for companies started by Obama’s cronies who have since bankrupted. So far, [thats] 34 companies It would be interesting to see how much the net worth of the originators has gone up.

The Department of Energy Report 2009

A smart grid is needed at the distribution level to manage voltage levels, reactive power, potential reverse power flows, and power conditioning, all critical to running grid-connected DG systems, particularly with high penetrations of solar and wind power and PHEVs…. Designing and retrofitting household appliances, such as washers, dryers, and water heaters with technology to communicate and respond to market signals and user preferences via home automation technology will be a significant challenge. Substantial investment will be required….
These controls and tools could reduce the occurrence of outages and power disturbances attributed to grid overload. They could also reduce planned rolling brownouts and blackouts like those implemented during the energy crisis in California in 2000.

Don’t want smart meter? Power shut off
The rollout of smart electric meters across the country has run into a few snags: one woman doesn’t want one, and ended up in the dark as a result.
You might not think that would be an issue. But it is, because Duke Energy is now beginning to disconnect any homeowner who refuses a new electric meter.
Other electric companies are not pulling the plug…yet…..

And what is the take of the Financiers?

We see an attractive long-term secular trend for investors to capitalize on over the coming 20–30 years as today’s underinvested and technologically challenged power grid is modernized to a technology-enabled smart grid. In particular, we see an attractive opportunity over the next three to five years to invest in companies that are enabling this transformation of the power grid.

It isn’t “Capitalism’ when you are forced to buy ‘Products’ you do not want at a much higher cost that the products you did want that have been ‘outlawed’ due to corporate influence.
I really suggest you read the Article at Mother Jones It explains how this ‘Corporatism’ or what every you want to call the unholy merging of mega-corporations and government works. The losers are always the little guy.
I would also suggest How Goldman Sachs Created the Food Crisis The elite don’t give a rats behind who they hurt or how many they kill as long as more money goes into their pockets and they accumulate more power.
Agenda 21 is all about POWER and CONTROL

Gail,
The real reason they chose CO2 is so they can control the energy market and thereby, the economy.

YUP, It has always been political . That is why the IPCC mandate was never about actually trying to figure out what controls the climate.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of human induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for mitigation and adaptation.

From Pascal Lamy of the WTO we get the WHY.

….First, legitimacy at the international level is much weaker than at the national level. This is not surprising as legitimacy is inversely proportional to distance. The specific challenge of legitimacy in global governance is to deal with the perceived too-distant, non-accountable and non-directly challengeable decision-making at the international level….
Second, efficiency is hampered by the Westphalian order and the primacy of sovereign nation-states that comes with it — sovereign nation-states that often have differing interests; that often lack coherence, arguing one position in an international organization, and its opposite in another. Sovereign nation-states that often resist transferring or sharing jurisdiction over certain matters within an international setting….
As for leadership, the intrinsic difficulty of global governance is to identify the leader.…
As for legitimacy, I see two avenues to strengthen it. First, domestically, by increasing the visibility of international issues and giving citizens a greater say. By incorporating them into the public debate at the national level. Presidents, prime-ministers, parliamentarians, trade unions and civil society movements need to engage more actively in global issues and institutions. Instead of globalizing local issues, we should be localizing them. Global institutions need to be held more accountable to national parliaments and voters. The UN could play an important role in this regard given its remarkably positive perception by citizens. Second, internationally, by enhancing the UN system as a legitimation process…

This is why NGOs were invented (control of course is kept by the elite through funding and non-voting membership) and why a ‘Crisis’ was absolutely necessary.
Again from lamy:

…In the same way, climate change negotiations are not just about the global environment but global economics as well — the way that technology, costs and growth are to be distributed and shared…..
At the same time, globalization is blurring the line between national and world issues, redefining our notions of space, sovereignty and identity. As we saw during the recent financial crisis, economic turbulence in one country now sends shockwaves worldwide.
And finance is not the only area where domestic issues are turning into global concerns. Countries claim the right to use national resources as they see fit. But the byproduct can be greenhouse gases or disappearing fish stocks or raw material shortages — which impact the interconnected world we share…..
The reality is that, so far, we have largely failed to articulate a clear and compelling vision of why a new global order matters — and where the world should be headed. Half a century ago, those who designed the post-war system — the United Nations, the Bretton Woods system, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) — were deeply influenced by the shared lessons of history.
All had lived through the chaos of the 1930s — when turning inwards led to economic depression, nationalism and war. All, including the defeated powers, agreed that the road to peace lay with building a new international order — and an approach to international relations that questioned the Westphalian, sacrosanct principle of sovereignty….

The financial crisis and the global warming crisis were both engineered “… to articulate a clear and compelling vision of why a new global order matters — and where the world should be headed….”
Al Gore of course is also all about “INTERDEPENDENCE” another code word like “SUSTAINABILITY” Daily Kos: A Declaration of INTERdependence
Many years ago I saw a listing by Gore on what the regional specializations were going to be. This is why when Gore was VP he told a kid to get out of farming. My USDA extension agent was an eye witness at that presentation and in the extension office is where I first heard about this.

“While presenting a national award to a Colorado FFA member, Gore asked the student what his/her life plans were. Upon hearing that the FFA member wanted to continue on in production agriculture, Gore reportedly replied that the young person should develop other plans because our production agriculture is being shifted out of the U.S. to the Third World.”

Dear renewableguy,
You recently attended a conference organised and hosted by a multimillionaire who has made a fortune sucking taxpayers money into his big-green companies, and yet you claim to represent ordinary people who just happen to have all joined together to fight the monsterous evil of climate change?
Seriously?
Stop insulting our intelligence.

Gail Combs says:
However it would be tough to make water into a bogeyman so CO2 was chosen instead even though it is a flea compared to water’s elephant.
############################
The knowledge of the relationship of co2 to water is very extensive. H2O is a very short lived atmospheric gas while co2 is lasts for centuries in the atmosphere. What supports the water vapor is co2. That is why co2 is considered the thermostat of the earth. More co2 = warmer. Less co2 = cooler.

Germany has benefitted the little with their feed in tarrifs. They are now up to 25% renewable energy and are schedueled to easily hit 35% by 2020. They have employed 350,000 people in their green industry.

ROTFL….
“Computer-based climate models are unable to replicate the observed warming unless human greenhouse gas emissions are included.”
You don’t even realize it’s all computer games, every bit of it, every prediction, every past reconstruction, every replication….it’s all computer games
and the computer games have not been right about one single thing….nothing, nada, zippo
