►Kenya - the start of the "green" movement ... 1981 !

I have stated many of the "green" and carbon credit programs really had nothing to do with the world itself, see my War On Terror topic, but, to turn Kenya into the garden of Eden and to hell with the rest of the world. The funny thing is the more they try, the hotter it gets in Kenya and colder elsewhere.

Also, it has to do with control and replacing the US dollar as the world's default currency, especially for oil transactions. More on that later.

Please note 1981 also is the year they started to handle out prestigious awards for population control aka abortion. More on that later.

I now present to you the text from the original United Nations document from 1981 that started the "green" ball rolling. I am going to highlight in red the real interesting points of discussion.

"Global warming" was nothing other then a means to an end, a hoax.

At the end "such as an energy affiliate" means a bank to trade carbon credits.

This is the original link, it will probably be gone after this post. No matter, I have the original.

1974 containing the Declaration and the Programme of Action on the

Establishment of a New International Economic Order, 3281 (XXIX) of

12 December 1974 containing the Charter of Economic Rights and

Duties of States, and 3362 (S-VII) of 16 September 1975 on

development and international economic co-operation,

Recalling also its resolution 35/56 of 5 December 1980,

containing the International Development Strategy for the Third

United Nations Development Decade,

Recalling further its resolutions 33/148 of 20 December 1978,

34/190 of 18 December 1979 and 35/204 of 16 December 1980 and

Economic and Social Council resolutions 2119 (LXIII) of 4 August

decision 1980/187 of 25 July 1980, regarding the convening and

preparation of the United Nations Conference on New and Renewable

Sources of Energy,

Convinced of the importance of developing new and renewable

sources of energy in order to contribute to meeting requirements for

continued economic and social development, particularly in the

developing countries, through, inter alia, the transition from the

present international economy based primarily on hydrocarbons to one

based increasingly on new and renewable sources of energy,

Stressing that the primary responsibility for promoting the

development and utilization of new and renewable sources of energy

rests with individual countries, that in this regard international

co-operation is indispensable and should be directed to assist and

support national efforts; that developed countries bear a special

responsibility to ensure that both their bilateral and multilateral

efforts contribute actively to this end and that other countries in

a position to do so should also continue to promote efforts in this

regard,

Reaffirming that the United Nations system should fully

participate in and support the implementation of the Nairobi

Programme of Action for the Development and Utilization of New and

Renewable Sources of Energy through adequate institutional

arrangements and additional and adequate resources, and that it is

imperative to increase the responsiveness of the system in this

respect,

Reaffirming further that the final decision on further

institutional measures will be taken by the General Assembly at its

thirty-seventh session,

Recognizing the urgent need for adopting effective measures to

facilitate the transfer and adaptation of technology from developed

to developing countries in particular and for mobilization of

financial resources for the development of new and renewable sources

of energy in developing countries,

Taking note of the report adopted by the United Nations

Conference on New and Renewable Sources of Energy on 21 August 1981,

Taking note also of the report of the Secretary-General on the

United Nations Conference on New and Renewable Sources of Energy,

at the United Nations Conference on New and Renewable Sources of

Energy, contained in the report adopted by the Conference,

Expressing deep concern that no final decisions were taken on

some other important questions,

Recognizing the need for continuing commitment and efforts on

the part of the international community in the implementation of the

Nairobi Programme of Action for the Development and Utilization of

response to recommendations of the intergovernmental body as regards

its implementation;
