How Globalists Are Using The ‘Climate Emergency’ To Bring About A One-World Government

Jonathan Brentner

The climate alarmists have an unblemished record of failed predictions. Al Goreโ€™s 2007 claim that by 2014 both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would be gone is typical of just how poorly their projections of doom have fared. Both places have recorded record low temperatures in the past five years.

Why such an abysmal record? Itโ€™s because the climate emergency is a hoax as are the models upon which itโ€™s based. I shared a sampling of the evidence backing up this claim in a recent article: COP28: The Ruse behind the Eliteโ€™s Insatiable Quest for Power.

Why then do the climate alarmists continue to make predictions based on models that have led to bogus prognostications? What factors lie behind the globalistsโ€™ passion to prescribe draconian solutions for an emergency that does not exist?

The Quest To Be Lords Of The Earth

The globalists seek to bring about a one-world government over which they will rule. In order to assume the role as lords of the earth, they need an impending crisis that will unite the nations. They regard the climate emergency as the vehicle that will enable them to fulfill their quest.

The year 2030 is magical to those who would imagine themselves as our chieftains; itโ€™s the year that they plan to have everything in place for their future reign. COP28โ€™s agenda aligned precisely with the UNโ€™s Agenda 2030 with its seventeen sustainable development goals. Itโ€™s all about controlling the lives of serfs, those that survive the brutal changes ahead, all for the cause of saving the planet.

Jeffrey Ludwig, in an American Thinker article, provides this overview of Agenda 2030 in regard to its unmistakable Marxist theme:

The most often quoted definition comes from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development: โ€œsustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.โ€ The earlier ideas and ideals of rights, freedom, equality, and justice are subsumed under meeting of needs and an explicit environmentalism which emphasizes preventing the depletion of scarce planetary resources. Of course, the takeoff is the Marxist axiom that society should be organized around the idea of โ€œfrom each according to his ability to each according to his needs.โ€ Thus, Marxism is implicit in sustainability, but is nuanced by its alliance with seemingly scientific adjustments and goals related to environmentalism.

Why do the elite believe that only a Marxist world order can solve the โ€œclimate emergency?โ€ Itโ€™s because both the problem and solution are not only a ruse, but the demonic path by which the elite hope to become lords of the earth.

Satan

Our archenemy Lucifer lies behind the motives of these elite powerbrokers. Population reduction, an essential aspect of their agenda, has long been the objective of the globalists and itโ€™s now more evident than ever before in history. The devil is a master deceiver and a murder (John 8:44; 10:10); those advocating the killing off of the โ€œuseless eatersโ€ are his pawns.

The eliteโ€™s intent to shrink the earthโ€™s population to a more manageable number appeared on the Georgia Guidestones in 1980. One of the ten inscriptions on this granite monument set the sustainable level of the human population at five hundred million. Thatโ€™s just a fraction of the earthโ€™s current population of over 8 billion. Though the Guidestones now lie in ruins, the murderous goal remains set in stone for those who would enslave humanity to their every whim.

The Biden administration spokesperson, John Kerry, has stated on several occasions that his plans include the elimination of farming as we know it. In Europe, they plan to kill 100,000 head of cattle for the cause of saving the planet. How do sane people even remotely think that cattle are bad for the planet? How will people survive apart from growing the food and raising animals on the farms? Itโ€™s all about reducing the earthโ€™s population to a manageable level.

After one hundred years of failed projections of doom, do those sounding the alarm over the climate truly believe we have just seven years left before the environment implodes? Is it possible that many of them believe their own lies as they knock on deathโ€™s door?

Depraved Minds

In Romans 1:19-32, the Apostle Paul give us remarkable insight into the thinking of those who would bankrupt the world, kill multitudes of people via the total elimination of โ€œfossil fuels,โ€ and subject the remaining population to Marxism.

The downward path to such depraved thinking begins with the refusal to acknowledge God, His attributes, and His eternal power. This, according to Romans 1:28, leads to futility in thinking and after that, to the Lord giving them up to a โ€œdebased mind to do what ought not to be done.โ€ The word in the Greek, adokimos, applies to something, such as a metal, that doesnโ€™t endure when tested thus proving to be unfit, or โ€œreprobateโ€ as the King James Version translates it.

The following verses describe the debased mindset of those with minds that โ€œfail the test.โ€ They become incapable of making morally sound decisions and in many instances, even rationally sound ones:

These verses aptly describe those leading the charge to subjugate the world under the obscene demands of the climate alarmists. Apart from oil, natural gas, and coal, most people on planet earth could not survive. Either these purveyors of doom cannot think clearly enough to perceive this deadly outcome, or they do not care.

Please understand that the phrase โ€œfossil fuelsโ€ itself is totally bogus. John Rockefeller coined this term so he could sell his oil and gas at a higher price. The natural gas reserves off the coast of Israel alone are estimated to be a trillion-cubit feet in just this one location! The amount of oil consumed in one day alone throughout the world require an astronomically high number of prehistoric animals to generate. These sources of energy most certainly are most certainly NOT โ€œfossil fuels.โ€

The Lord provided the rich deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas to sustain the earthโ€™s current large population. Without these fuels, billions would eventually perish. Used properly, they do not harm the environment, nor will they raise temperatures to unsafe levels.

Economic Suicide

The attendees at the COP28 summit in Dubai agreed to work toward the elimination of โ€œfossil fuels,โ€ but did not put a date in place to do so. This objective, of course, is impossible because the windmills themselves need sixty gallons of oil, changed regularly, in order to function. Itโ€™s also unfeasible to put the windmills in place apart from the use of copious amounts of diesel fuel to power the many trucks needed to deliver the massive amounts of needed concrete and parts to assemble just one of the windmills.

Alex Newman, a fellow believer, author, and award-winning journalist who attended the conference in the United Arab Emirates, wrote the following:

โ€œAt the conclusion of COP28, there was a sense of euphoria among the climate faithful that they achieved something monumental, specifically securing a document called the โ€˜UAE Consensusโ€™ to โ€™transitionโ€™ away from fossil fuels,โ€ said Craig Rucker, who attended the summit as head of the conservative-leaning environmental group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

โ€œBut letโ€™s face it, China has been constructing new coal plants at a rate of two per week and India is expected to increase its coal fleet 25 percent by 2030,โ€ Mr. Rucker told The Epoch Times.

โ€œOnly Western nations steeped in global warming alarmism will undertake the foolish measures the Greens demand to gut their energy infrastructure.โ€

As populous nations ramp up their dependence on oil, natural gas, and especially coal, western nations such as the United States will continue down a path to certain economic suicide with its green agenda. Mr. Newman also wrote about this in the above referenced article:

Stephen Moore, chief economist at FreedomWorks, said the administrationโ€™s pledges would shut down 60 percent of U.S. electrical power generation.

โ€œBiden is playing a dangerous game of unilateral energy disarmament,โ€ said Mr. Moore. โ€œWhether intentional or not, this radical green agenda will cripple our global economic leadership, cost our economy millions of jobs, and make Americans colder in their homes in the winter and hotter in the summer.โ€

I believe the outcome of such a foolish agenda will be far worse.

The left in America are pursuing two conflicting goals. On the one hand, several states now require that all cars sold be electric in the next five to seven years. On the other hand, President Biden seeks to drastically reduce the supply of energy needed to empower these cars. Itโ€™s a trainwreck waiting to happen; itโ€™s economic suicide by any other name.

Will the self-destructing ruse of saving the environment bring the nations of the world together under a central government? Itโ€™s doubtful given the lack of public support for it, but thereโ€™s an event looming in the near future that might just accomplish the globalistsโ€™ quest for power, at least in the short-term.

The Rapture Of The Church Will Change Everything

The Rapture of the Church will at first seem like a dream come true for people with the mindset of Romans 1:28-32, but it will later prove to be the worst nightmare imaginable for them.

The elite will have the bona fide global crisis they crave, but their failure to recognize Godโ€™s authority or believe Scripture will prove fatal for them as it will for all who worship the beast thatโ€™s coming.

Someday, hopefully soon, Jesus will take us to glory and initiate the dreadful time judgment known in the Old Testament as the Day of the Lord. Once the devil confirms a covenant with the many, including Israel, the seven-year period we know as the Tribulation will start. During this time, the Lord will pour out His wrath on mankind and by its end, utterly destroy Satanโ€™s kingdom.

Not only will the Rapture change everything for those on the earth, but also for us as New Testament saints.

Our โ€œcitizenship is in heavenโ€ and because of that we โ€œawait a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body by the power that enables him to subject all things to himselfโ€ (Philippians 3:20-21).

As Godโ€™s wrath descends upon the unbelieving world, we will rest in paradise with our Savior. At the moment Jesus appears to take us to His Fatherโ€™s house, He will give us immortal bodies that will never perish, get sick, or become weak with the passage of time (John 14:2-3; 1 Corinthians 15:47-55).

If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, please, please read my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life. In it, I explain how you can know that Jesus has forgiven all your sins and that you possess eternal life and with the sure hope of receiving an immortal and incorruptible body at Jesusโ€™ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54).

Please donโ€™t delay; call upon Jesus while you may! Tomorrow may be too late to avoid the path of death advocated by those who would enslave humanity under their demonic schemes.

The Rapture will change everything for those alive at the time, one way or another.ย

Franklin Graham: This Christmas, Bow Your Heart And Knee Before The King Of Kings

All the succession of kings in the Old Testament were but a preview of the arrival of the True King, the Lord Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah. And one day very soonโ€”and I do believe it will be soonโ€”Jesus will return on a white steed to judge all who have rejected Him. The Bible tells us His eyes will be flaming like fire, His head will wear many crowns, and His robe will be dipped in the blood of His enemies. Riding with Him will be the armies of Heaven. On that day, there will be no mistaking or denying Him.

Why Jesus Left His Heavenly Home

When that first group of peopleย gathered in Bethlehem, all of them had left home. They didnโ€™t realize their gathering would be immortalized and celebrated every year for the next 2,000 years, but it has been. Remembering their absence from their homes reminds us that we are also away from our true, eternal home this Christmas. With each Christmas celebration, the Lordโ€™s return draws nearer as does our arrival at our own heavenly home.ย

The Prophetic Significance Of Socialism’s Rise In America

The rise of Socialism has profound implications for the future of our nation and, given the fact that America is the global leader, it also has ramifications for the entire globe. It's nothing short of meteoric. However, beyond those concerns, the popularity of Socialism also has strong prophetic overtones that I believe will pave the way for the rise of the world's final great tyrant: the antichrist.
