UN endorses new Gaia religion for world

I touched on this earlier, but it deserves to be highlighted. This from Fox:

 Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion "as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity," according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world's would-be environmental watchdog.

The purpose of the paper, put together after an unpublicized day-long session in Switzerland by some of the world's top environmental bureaucrats: to argue for a new and unprecedented effort to move environmental concerns to "the center of political and economic decision-making" around the world — and perhaps not coincidentally, expand the influence and reach of UNEP at the tables of world power, as a rule-maker and potential supervisor of the New Environmental Order.

The positions argued in that paper now appear to be much closer at hand; many of them are embedded in a four-year strategy document for UNEP taking effect next year, in the immediate wake of the much-touted, 11-day Copenhagen conference on "climate change," which starts on Dec. 7, and which is intended to push environmental concerns to a new crescendo.

This is bureaucracy gone mad. The UNEP is now no different than scientology, only looking to line their pockets; with the IPCC running amok shouting heretic at anyone who can think for themselves.

"This is bureaucracy gone mad. The UNEP is now no different than scientology, only looking to line their pockets;"

UNEP should be Rebranded INEPT.

Try relaying this information to your average Joe and you get called an extremist, or one of them (some new thing?).

It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also entertained!

We don't need no new religions.
