Think Tank will be in Salt Lake City Next Week with Live Rebuttal to United Nations ‘Civil Society’ Sustainability Conference
The Heartland Institute, the world’s leading think tank promoting climate realism and free-market solutions to environmental challenges, will livestream a program on August 26 from Salt Lake City, site of the United Nations Civil Society Conference. Heartland’s rebuttal will show how the collectivist climate and sustainability programs promoted by the U.N. would cause more harm than good, especially for the world’s poorest.
This year’s U.N. Civil Society Conference, which takes place August 26 – 28, will focus on sustainability and climate change. The Heartland Institute rebuttal will begin at 9 a.m. Mountain Time and end at 1 p.m. Mountain Time (11 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET) on Monday, August 26.
The livestream can be viewed here.
Participants in Heartland’s rebuttal program will explain how energy, environment, and economic development programs reflecting sound science and economic freedom will create far more benefits than existing U.N. programs.
Panelists and topics will include:
James Taylor, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center for Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute. Presentation: U.N. messaging versus environmental reality.
Richard Keen, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Colorado. Presentation: Climate change and human well-being.
Hon. Jennifer Fielder, Montana state Senator and CEO of the American Lands Council. Presentation: The environmental, economic, and social benefits of locally driven land and resource management.
Howard Hayden, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Connecticut and editor of The Energy Advocate. Presentation: Economically and environmentally sustainable energy options.
Paul Driessen, senior policy advisor with the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow and the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, and author of the book Eco-Imperialism. Presentation: The immoral nature of U.N. sustainability agendas.

U.N. climate solutions are far more like forced global governance than true solutions. And they don’t even appear to be trying to hide it anymore. They’re growing more emboldened by the day so it won’t be long before you see Enforcement Trucks everywhere with large UNs painted on their sides in a neighborhood near you.
…1984 ?
Enforcement Trucks everywhere with large UNs painted on their sides in a neighborhood near you.
But their paint color is Baby Blue to signify that when it comes to actual enforcement they are woosie cowards.
Yup. I think Barney Fife was issued more ammo than the blue helmets get.
For those overseas:
That’s all Sheriff Andy would reluctantly give him.
“BUILDING INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES”
Translation: “Forcing Expensive Greenie “Solutions” (to a non-problem) down your throat without you even realizing it, along with a heaping helping of PoliticallyCorrectSpeak.” Who needs democracy anyway?
Live feed frozen after 40min of listening. It was good so far though.
There was absolutely no media coverage of the rebuttal. Meanwhile the alarmists/UN conference got heavy coverage by breathless reporters.
