A regular correspondent reminds us that the drumbeat for Agenda21’s one-size government suits everyone is continuing apace. The formerly prestigious, now leftwing Scientific American, laments that none of its prescriptions from green energy, through gun confiscation, to man-made global warming can be implemented without the much stronger arm of a much bigger brother. In its ‘Effective World Government is needed to stave off Climate Catastrophe’, it counsels again –
Unfortunately, far more is needed. To be effective, a new set of institutions would have to be imbued with heavy-handed, transnational enforcement powers. There would have to be consideration of some way of embracing head-in-the-cloud answers to social problems that are usually dismissed by policymakers as academic naivete. In principle, species-wide alteration in basic human behaviors would be a sine qua non, but that kind of pronouncement also profoundly strains credibility in the chaos of the political sphere. Some of the things that would need to be contemplated: How do we overcome our hard-wired tendency to “discount” the future: valuing what we have today more than what we might receive tomorrow? Would any institution be capable of instilling a permanent crisis mentality lasting decades, if not centuries? How do we create new institutions with enforcement powers way beyond the current mandate of the U.N.? Could we ensure against a malevolent dictator who might abuse the power of such organizations?
As reported in recent posts, President Obama and his minions high, low, and local are there to help.
