U.N. climate chief: Communism best method of dealing with global warming
January 15, 2014
According to Figueres, China, the world's top emitter of carbon dioxide, is “doing it right,” even though it has major pollution problems of its own.
The reason, she explained, is that democracy is no good at handling something like global warming, with different parties arguing over policy. In fact, she said, political differences like those in the U.S. Congress, are "very detrimental" to solving the issue.
The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, can simply dictate policy with no debate. Those who disagree can simply be tossed into prison or suffer a worse fate.
“They actually want to breathe air that they don’t have to look at,” she said. “They’re not doing this because they want to save the planet. They’re doing it because it’s in their national interest.”
"The country’s national legislature largely enforces the decisions made by the party’s Central Committee and other executive offices," the Daily Caller added. Of course, that's how things work in a dictatorship with one-party rule. Democrats who have clamored for Obama to rule like a dictator may like the idea of a single-party system in America where the ruling party can simply issue edicts, but the American people have made it clear they will not accept such an arrangement, nor are they likely to adopt the Communist Chinese model.
The Daily Caller also observed that Communism was responsible for the deaths of about 94 million people in China, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe in the 20th century.
"China alone was responsible for 65 million of those deaths under communist rule," the Daily Caller said.
Yet this is the model the U.N. says the world should adopt.
The reason, Michael Bastasch said, is that environmentalists hail the Chinese for being a "leader" in renewable energy.
"The country set a goal of getting 15 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020," Bastach said.
In 2012, China received nine percent of its power from renewable resources, while the United States got 11 percent of its power from renewable resources in the same year.
Nevertheless, the U.N. climate chief maintains that Communism is the model the U.S. should follow.
The Daily Caller also said that both China and the former Soviet Union have deplorable records with regards to air quality.
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that about “1.2 million people died prematurely in China in 2010 as a result of air pollution” and Chinese government figures show that “lung cancer is now the leading cause of death from malignant tumors. Many of those dying are nonsmokers.”
In 2008, Warner Todd Huston observed that the real goal of the radical environmental movement is the destruction of capitalism and an end to personal freedom.
