Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Reuters reports that the terrorist Osama Bin Laden intended to use the climate issue to spread chaos in the United States, by calling for people concerned about greenhouse gasses to rise up and overthrow the government.
According to Reuters;
Osama bin Laden wrote a letter calling on the American people to help President Barack Obama fight “catastrophic” climate change and “save humanity”, in the latest evidence of his worries about environmental issues, newly released documents show
The letter was among materials that were seized in the May 2, 2011, U.S. raid on bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan that killed the al Qaeda chief and which were released on Tuesday by the Obama administration.
The undated, unsigned letter “to the American people,” which U.S. intelligence officials attributed to bin Laden, appeared to have been written shortly after Obama began his first term in 2009, based on the letter’s references to events.
Bin Laden’s preoccupation with climate change also emerged as a theme in the first tranche of documents from the raid that was declassified in May 2015, as well as in an audio recording released via the al Jazeera network in January 2010.

Thankfully Bin Laden was assassinated on the orders of President Obama, before he could fully implement his plan. But this news confirms a previous report on WUWT, about Bin Laden’s effort to invite climate extremists to join his anti-Western Jihad.
The danger didn’t end with Bin Laden’s death. The climate issue still seems to resonate strongly in some hardline Islamic communities; a false narrative of impending destruction brought on by Western greed and consumerism, unsurprisingly finds eager acceptance, amongst people who already hate the liberty and wealth of the West.
Some leaders in the Arabic world have even attempted to use the climate issue to deflect blame for their own maladministration, a trend which is already well established in the West. If this political ruse gains wider acceptance, it will further fan the flames of hatred.
Future historians may come to cite the early 21st century climate hysteria as a prime example of unintended consequences. The Western climate fad, which for a time was a useful political prop, is in danger of mutating into a tool to incite the desperate into acts of hatred and mass murder. Who amongst the foot soldiers will dispute the veracity of the coming climate Jihad? The architects of hatred have access to plenty of video footage, of Western politicians accepting complicity for a problem which doesn’t exist, then breaking all their promises, of action to curb CO2 emissions.

No surprise here.
Russia’s Putin has been funding “green” parties and demonstrations in Europe to agitate against fracking, against ALL forms of conventional electric power generation and FOR unreliable, costly wind, solar, etc.
What better way to have Europe depend ever greater on Russian oil and gas.
Do not be surprised if US based “enviro” (read, communist puppets, hacks and agitators) have received $$$ from Russia.
Russia will guarantee its future if the rest of the developed world – in its stupidity – moves toward expensive, unreliable alternate forms of energy stupidity. Rest assured that Russia will NEVER embrace this idiocy. Even China is building nuclear plants like crazy
As an aside, during the Reagan years, the massive anti-missile-defense system demonstrations in Europe – in which hundreds of thousands participated – was also funded and encouraged by the then KGB.
You have to hand it to the Russians; they take a no holds barred approach to promoting their own self interest and they are the most expert on earth when it comes to subterfuge and misinformation . Of course you need an abundant supply of useful homegrown useful idiots to make it work.

I think we need to avoid posting the loony stuff, deflect the politics and report the SCIENCE. That’s what is going to convince rational people. The irrational can’t be convinced anyway. Me, I’m just happy the Earth’s climate is relatively stable for now and nothing we’ve done has anything to do with it. The rest is–noise.
Except the climate is not ‘stable’. Hasn’t been for the last 2 million years or so. We have to face reality: we are still in the Ice Ages. It hasn’t vanished at all. The ‘warm’ hysteria is insane in the teeth of this terrible reality.
This, right now, is a “terrible reality?” I think you forgot the /sarc.
He said “relatively stable.” Amazing how you can identify conspiracies everywhere you look but can’t grasp that one.

“Bin Laden DID set off bombs below the WTC garage while Clinton was President.”
Not true. Ramzi Yousef was the mastermind behind the 1993 WTC bombing. The night of that bombing he fled the U.S. and wound his way to Manila in the Philippines. He lived there with Khaleid Sheik Mohammed and Hakim Murad. Yousef accidentally started a fire in his apartment there and the fire brought the authorities. Yousef and KSM sent Murad back to the apartment to retrieve personal items and that led to Murad’s arrest. From the interrogation of Murad (yes, torture was used during the Clinton presidency) and info on Yousef’s computer the FBI discovered the terrorists had conceived of the idea of flying jet aircraft into buildings.
That was 1995. Yousef would be arrested a couple months later in Islamabad. He never met bin Laden. No one knows his true identity. KSM would bring that idea to Osama bin Laden in 1997 or 1998 (4-5 years after the 1993 WTC bombing) and formally join al Qaeda at that time. He would be arrested in 2003, also in Pakistan.
When you read Alarmist “scientists” spouting drivel about (say) ‘ocean acidification’, you know they are either completely stupid, monumental liars, or both.
When the 9/11 conspiracy loons start droning on about ‘melting steel beams’, you are in exactly the same territory.
If in doubt just consider. When a blacksmith makes a horseshoe, does he ‘melt’ the steel or just heat it to make it malleable?
Don’t trust lying idiots.
I heard the latest climate Jihadist wears a skirt ans is running for president.
Skirt? It’s a pantsuit.
This is proof that there can be only one true megalomaniac god of climate change, not two. The one not from the Chicago machine had to go, Trotsky style.
The article on Reuters doesn’t allow comments… but nowhere in the letter they posted a picture of with the article does it talk about climate change. That is a letter to his father asking him to take care of his family and other financial matters in case he should be killed.
The WUWT post was updated, provide a link to the referenced letter.

Who are these fools? Skeptical Science plants?
So either OBL was either a victim of the media messaging that affected many others, or he was envious of the methodical destructive force of WH over reach.
Are they sure these papers were not mixed up with Krugman’s somehow. They could pass for it and the NYT on an average day.
“Bin Laden Planned to Destabilise America using the Climate Issue”
No worries – Bambi, et al., are doing that for him.
Ok “skeptics” For love of humanity. Take 2 minutes from your life, watch this clip then tell me with a straight face that an office fire brought down a structurally fire proof building identical to a planned demolished building would fall.
I thought people had at least some common sense around here…. Maybe google “skyscraper collapses from a fire” and post any positive results..?

Next?
“Landmark 29-floor tower on Madrid skyline remained standing despite a 26-hour, multiple-floor fire.”
http://www.concretecentre.com/online_services/case_studies/windsor_building,_madrid.aspx
Yep. The outcomes are like night and day:
Can you still, with a straight face say building 7 free fell from fire?
Wow my brain hurts.
Does this look even remotely like the same thing to you? That building was ENGULFED IN FIRE and was still standing! WTC 7 had a couple desks on fire and it fell, as in free fell!
Again please compare the video of WTC 7 and everything you posted with your eyes and mind wide open.
Geeze, the stupidity of those who want to believe.
1) The twin towers were extensively damaged by the collision of the planse. As many as 20% of the support columns were taken out by the initial hit.
2) The remaining columns had their heat protection materials stripped by the collision.
3) Heat treatment merely slows down the rate at which columns heat up, it doesn’t prevent them from heating up.
Building 7 was badly damaged structurally when the other tower fell on it.
Building 7 also had a diesel generator in the basement with a fuel tank in the hundreds of gallon range that was set afire.
You are correct Mark, IMO
The media was scripted for the event
