At root, the agenda of Climatism is one against progress. But more than that, it is one against people. Not since the DDT scare led to the death of millions has the eco-Left stood to claim more human lives.
Under normal circumstances we could afford to laugh at 2 factions of the Left pitted against one another. But in this instance, the cost is too high to take any delight in the follies of our opponents. The fact is that the ideology of Climatism is killing people — most of them brown and black.
BRUSSELS (AFP) - The EU Commission on Monday rejected claims that producing biofuels is a “crime against humanity” that threatens food supplies, and vowed to stick to its goals as part of a climate change package.
“There is no question for now of suspending the target fixed for biofuels,” said Barbara Helfferich, spokeswoman for EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas.
“You can’t change a political objective without risking a debate on all the other objectives,” which could see the EU landmark climate change and energy package disintegrate, an EU official said.
Their comments came amid growing unease over the planting of biofuel crops as food prices rocket and riotsagainst poverty and hunger multiply worldwide.
UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food Jean Ziegler told German radio Monday that the production of biofuels is “a crime against humanity” because of its impact on global food prices.
One multinational stumbles into the truth.
Meanhwile Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, head of Nestle, the world’s biggest food and beverage company, last month argued that “to grant enormous subsidies for biofuel production is morally unacceptable and irresponsible”.
“There will be nothing left to eat,” he added.
We must respectfully remind our good friends that unintended consequences are, nevertheless, very real.
