Good Evening:



Sitting here I think of Henning Mankell and his life.  I enjoyed his Kurt Wallander novels.  He was a different kind of guy, perhaps the archetypal Swede, left wing, well meaning.  His writing - I only read the translated works - really cemented my interest in the detective noire genre.  He gave me hours of discussion with my friend from Fernie, Jimmy.

WTF is the UN doing with GLOBALGOALS.ORG?

WTF is the UN doing with GLOBALGOALS.ORG?

Good Evening form Calgary.

Last weekend I was dragged to two new movies, Everest and The Martian.  Both were excellent but I finally figured out why movies start at such weird times, you have to fit in all the ads prior to the show.  In the middle of the ads was one for GLOBALGOALS.ORG.

Here is a screen grab from their website:

World Leaders have committed to 17 Global Goals to achieve 3 extraordinary things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality & injustice. Fix climate change. The Global Goals for sustainable development could get these things done. In all countries. For all people. If the Goals are going to work, everyone needs to know about them. TELL EVERYONE.

The graphics and tone are aimed at kids, only kids could imagine that a organization that has failed so consistently over the last 70 years could accomplish this.  I keep thinking of Rwanda.  I also want to know how they think they can accomplish their goals, just big Agenda 21 dreamers.  I keep wondering about who is going to create climate status quo?

Just finished reading Tim Ball's book The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science which is a perfect deconstruction of Big Green, IPCC, and the Hockey Stick.  I am amazed at how "Big" Environmental Science has become so twisted in the name of money and ideology that their work has become irrelevant.  It would be fine if the politicians and the the luddites had not joined on the bandwagon.



Go to Amazon by clicking  the title - everyone should read this so that the the truth can circulate freely.
