Google is hosting a three day climate summit packed with A-list activists arriving by mega yacht and private jet.

A-listers flock to Google summit in private jets, mega yachts to talk climate change

By Emily Smith and Ebony Bowden
July 30, 2019 

The world’s rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process.

The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who’s who of A-list names— including former President Barack ObamaPrince HarryLeonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry — to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they’ve dubbed Google Camp.

The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it’s unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on.

“Everything is about global warming, that is the major topic this year,” a source told The Post.

Their three-day summer camp will cost the tech giant some $20 million, sources said.

I’d love to be a witness to what happens at that climate “conference”. But I somehow doubt the topic of conversation will be their personal carbon footprints, unless they decide to start comparing the size of their private jets.

Google has way too much influence and therefore power.
These guys are not elected and must be brought under control by elected Governments.
Here in Australia we have recommendations to do this but in reality we need the world’s silent majority to give gutless pollies the courage to tackle them just like Standard Oil in the Sherman Antitrust Legislation in 1911.

Given that the left hates rich people and worries constantly about global warming, isn’t it about time we had a huge tax on private jets and yachts? How about a takeoff fee for private jets of a few thousand dollars? Triple if you are going to a global warming conference.

Thank you Robert – an interesting article. If only part of it is true, humanity has a very big problem.

I have stated in my recent articles that the leadership of the radical greens , who have everything completely wrong about CO2, global warming, climate change and green energy cannot all be that stupid – they have a covert agenda.

The primary stated objective of the Club of Rome is neo-Malthusian – the forced reduction of human population in a totalitarian (allegedly Socialist) society – and they are already doing an effective job, as described below.

Their supporters, the useful-idiot “Progressives” (aka neo-Marxists), forget our history: Communist Mao killed about 80 million of his own people, the mainland Chinese. Communist Stalin killed about 50 million Russians, Ukrainians, and others – also his own people. National Socialist Hitler killed another 50 million people on all sides in WW2

What the neo-Marxists do not seem to understand is this:
WHEN POWER IS SO TIGHTLY CONCENTRATED, IT ALWAYS ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF A VICIOUS PSYCHOPATH AND HIS SYCOPHANTS.
And no, this time it will NOT be different.

“HYPOTHESIS: RADICAL GREENS ARE THE GREAT KILLERS OF OUR AGE”
by Allan MacRae, April 14, 2019
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/

1. Introduction.

“In the 20th Century, socialists Stalin, Hitler and Mao caused the deaths of over 200 million people, mostly their own citizens. Lesser killers like Pol Pot and the many tin-pot dictators of South America and Africa killed and destroyed the lives of many more.

Modern Green Death probably started with the 1972-2002 effective ban of DDT, which caused global deaths from malaria to increase from about 1 million to almost two million per year. Most of these deaths were children under five in sub-Saharan Africa – just babies for Christ’s sake!”
– February 1, 2019

8. Why are the radical greens so anti-environmental?

FOR RADICAL GREENS, IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT – THE ENVIRONMENT WAS A SMOKESCREEN FOR THEIR EXTREME-LEFT TOTALITARIAN POLITICAL OBJECTIVES.

To better understand radical green objectives, see http://www.green-agenda.com/, excerpted below:

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”
– Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations

“The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature’s proper steward and society’s only hope.”
– David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club, founder of Friends of the Earth

9. Conclusion

The evidence strongly supports my hypothesis that “Radical Greens are the Great Killers of Our Age”.

The number of deaths and shattered lives caused by radical-green activism since ~1970 rivals the death tolls of the great killers of the 20th Century – Stalin, Hitler and Mao – they advocate similar extreme-left totalitarian policies and are indifferent to the resulting environmental damage and human suffering.

“THE COST TO SOCIETY OF RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM”
By Allan M.R. MacRae, B.A.Sc., M.Eng., July 4, 2019
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/07/04/the-cost-to-society-of-radical-environmentalism/

1. Introduction.

Ever wonder why extremists attack honest scientists who oppose global warming and climate change hysteria? Ever wonder why climate extremists refuse to debate the science?

IT IS BECAUSE GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE ALARMISM WAS NEVER ABOUT THE SCIENCE – IT WAS ALWAYS A FALSE NARRATIVE, A SMOKESCREEN FOR THE TOTALITARIAN OBJECTIVES OF THE EXTREME LEFT.

9. Conclusion

Radical green extremists have cost society trillions of dollars and many millions of lives. Banning DDT and radical green opposition to golden rice blinded and killed tens of millions of children.

Green energy and CO2 abatement schemes, driven by false fears of catastrophic global warming, have severely damaged the environment and have squandered trillions of dollars of scarce global resources that should have been allocated to serve the real, immediate needs of humanity. Properly allocated, these wasted funds might have ended malaria and world hunger.

The number of shattered lives caused by radical-green activism rivals the death tolls of the great killers of the 20th Century – Stalin, Hitler and Mao – radical greens advocate similar extreme-left totalitarian policies and are indifferent to their resulting environmental damage and human suffering… … and if unchecked, radical environmentalism will cost us our freedom.

Although it sounds “Ka-Tching”, the inside story of biz jet charter at similar high profile events is actually a nightmare for the crew.

Bottom line, despite private audits, screenings, interviews with like a crowd of very concerned managers of this and that, security advisers, one can get fired for a firm wheel planting crosswind landing or not having enough of the right liquor on board.

Task-teams are pre-deployed on possible alternates, weather diversion seems like the end of the world.

Okay!

They go back where they came from, feeling “good” about themselves (whatever that is) and nothing happens.

And the rest of us get on with our lives, aware that this pack of idjits really have nothing going for them. IF they ever had ANYTHING at all going for them that was worthwhile, it vanished like the morning fog long ago.

Not surprisingly their strategy works great in a society obsessed by big screen TV’s and showing-off on social media.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN, ACCUSED SEX TRAFFICKER, DIES BY SUICIDE: OFFICIALS

https://abcnews.go.com/US/jeffrey-epstein-accused-sex-trafficker-dies-suicide-officials/story?id=64881684

Quelle surprise! And how did this happen, when he was under a suicide watch after an earlier incident?

One fact is certain – Epstein will not be able to testify against all the other pedos-in-high-places who joined him at Pedo Island and his other estates. How very convenient for them.

Don’t believe the suicide story – vain narcissists like Epstein don’t usually commit suicide – he was silenced.

THE LATEST: OFFICIAL TELLS TIMES JAIL BROKE RULES ON EPSTEIN

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/11/the-latest-official-tells-times-jail-broke-rules-o/

NEW YORK (AP) –

The Latest on the death of Jeffrey Epstein (all times local): 1 p.m.

A law enforcement source tells The New York Times financier Jeffrey Epstein was alone in his jail cell the night of his apparent suicide. The Times spoke to the official on the condition of anonymity. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed the information.

An official with knowledge of the investigation told the Times that Epstein’s cellmate was transferred. The official says the Justice Department was told Epstein would have a cellmate and be monitored by a guard every 30 minutes.

He was found unresponsive in his jail cell Saturday and the Bureau of Prisons says he was later pronounced dead of an apparent suicide.

12:45 p.m.

A law enforcement official tells The New York Times that Jeffrey Epstein should have been checked on by guards in his cell every 30 minutes, but that didn’t happen the night before he was found hanged in a federal jail cell.

The Times spoke to the official on the condition of anonymity. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed the information.

Epstein was discovered unresponsive in his cell Saturday at a high-security jail in Manhattan. The Bureau of Prisons says he was later pronounced dead from an apparent suicide.

He was facing sex trafficking charges and had recently been taken off suicide watch, a person familiar with the matter who wasn’t authorized to discuss it publicly told The Associated Press. He was found in his cell with bruising on his neck two weeks ago.

If these people really thought the planet was dying or something and if they really cared, they would fly those private jets straight at the nearest Chinese or Indian coal power plant. Sacrifice for the greater good. What would be more important than our dear Planet? Yet, they don’t do that. Nobody does that. They just talk and do nothing. That should tell you how serious they are.

Their talks become more and more hysterical each year, but their actions remain the same. 18 months remaining? Surely the only real option left is suicide bombing and war against those evil fossil fuel power plants? How long is the media and the public going to ignore this and pretend everyone actually cares? Surely eventually comes the point where even the mainstream media admits that this is stupid.

The A-list are the post children for Hypocrisy.

Sicily climate change retreat for the A list jet setters, compared to Hungry Games’ city of the super rich, Panem, and its removed from real life, inhabitants.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/01/twilight-of-the-eco-loons-environmental-activism-jumps-the-shark/

What is wholly unforgivable, though, is the hypocrisy.

Most of us, when we watched The Hunger Games and saw the debauched, freakish, selfish, spoilt, arrogant, out-of-touch grotesques who lived in the big city of Panem, realised that it was supposed to be a warning.

But Di Caprio, Katy Perry, George Clooney, Harry Styles, Chris Martin and the various other celebrities promoting this green appear to have mistaken it for an instruction manual.
