The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

China the Model?


TRIGGER WARNING:  I wouldn't think this needs a Trigger Warning, but just in case, I bring into question the idea that the UN and UN officials are always right.

For John, BLUFI am guessing that since many people see themselves as just workers, or academics, their form of government and the economic model don't seem that important.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Elizabeth Price Foley, posting at the Instapundit, gives us a look at one opinion on climate change, "Australia PM advisor says climate change a UN-led ruse.  (PM being the Prime Minister.)  There is also the original article, but it is a pay to play site.
Figueres [executive secretary of the UN’s Framework on Climate Change] is on record saying democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming.  Communist China, she says, is the best model.  This is not about facts or logic.  It’s about a new world order under the control of the UN.  It is opposed to capitalism and freedom and has made environmental catastrophism a household topic to achieve its objective.

Figueres says that, unlike the Industrial Revolution, “This is a centralised transformation that is taking place.”  She sees the US partisan divide on global warming as “very detrimental”.  Of course.  In her authoritarian world there will be no room for debate or ­disagreement.

Make no mistake, climate change is a must-win battlefield for authoritarians and fellow travellers.  As Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation, says:  “Even if the ­(climate change) theory is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.”

Having gained so much ground, eco-catastrophists won’t let up.  After all, they have captured the UN and are extremely well funded.  They have a hugely powerful ally in the White House.  They have successfully enlisted compliant academics and an obedient and gullible mainstream media (the ABC and Fairfax in Australia) to push the scriptures regardless of evidence.

Of course Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe would tell you it is beyond stupid to believe that some UN official (in this case Ms Christiana Figueres) would say the Chinese system of Government and Economics is better than that of the US.
