When i ran the opening sentence of the book that i got i read the sentence. This book is about freedom. And i was hooked. I knew i had to read the rest of this book. The authors with us today. He has a final copy of his book. [inaudible] hes been in the Public Policy arena and a government. He has seen this issue from a lot of various angles. He studied at cambridge for he studied economics and history, Great Foundation of writing this fine book. Let me tell you a couple of our noted friends set about his new book. Micah was a friend to all of us and well known across the country said he has written a definitive history of Global Warming alarmism its success the judge said rupert has told a story of frauds and fools, thoroughly and well. His truth may be inconvenient to some. Finally, let me say that Charles Moore from the Daily Telegraph road rupert darlow is a wonderful lucid historian of intellectual and political movements which is just a job which has been inflicted on us over the past 30 years or so in the name of saving the planet.

So welcome to the Heritage Foundation. [applause] thank you. I was in washington almost a year ago and its extraordinary how much has changed since then. Nor has the change been more profound or more necessary than in climate and energy policy. The United States is going to withdraw from the paris agreement. Then president obama did not have the guts no one should underestimate the historic importance of President Trumps decision. This is the third time no less the second bush which is repeated in of the protocol, the President Trumps decision is the most important. It is devastating for the un climate process. The whole architecture of the past agreement has been designed to subvert it will freeze america to be the world tied to carbon superpower. It will enable scott put to roll back the clean air plan. It would not have happened but for the tremendous work undertaken by conservative and libertarian think tanks in the city and across the city, notably in chicago in texas. They took on the planet industrial complex. They prepared the intellectual ground and shed light needed to be done and what needed to be done. America owes a huge debt of gratitude to those who had been at the forefront of this effort. Like to take the opportunity to thank those who help me a very sways. Steve and those, kathleen and President Trump to and stephen graves. This is something bigger than all energy policy. New jobs created by the shell revolution and bigger than all the manufacturing jobs thanks to Americas Energy superabundance. Ultimately this is a battle between the Administrative State and americas constitution order, its about how americas government. Its about freedom. First they should tell you how we got here at the age of Global Warming turned out to be the age of wind and solar. Global warming wasnt meant to be like this. Nuclear power was going to be the solution. Politicians over here for started in the late 1980s. In june 1988 scientists gave his testimony to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. It had already been obsessing about Global Warming for a decade and a half. In 1974 when al gore was at law school the swedish Prime Minister said Climate Change would be the biggest at the end of the 20th century. The social engineering, Foreign Policy based on moral treaty. The longest part of oneparty rule, social Democratic Party claiming direct liberal consent. A policy Ernie Sanders wants them to be. In 1971, the london observer scandinavian correspondent wrote a book they argued that this democrats were pioneering a new form of soft totalitarian is in. A few centuries before they developed a centralized operator. When the government was first formed in 1921 and made them adapt to the central bureaucracy. The legislative is weak, after centuries real power has laid in. Does that sound familiar . Sense to be of what Barack Obamas administrative wanted it to become. They became a perfect instrument to carry out the most prolonged experiment social engineering outside the social engineering. They wanted to replace the family. Operated a Eugenics Program the student protests in late 60s and 70s used anti americanism as a safety valve and allied sweden. Sweden had a policy neutrality, yet how many know that suite had a secret military alliance with washington were that they were in the prosyrian wing of the swedish intelligence service. Sweden is not what it appears. In the late 1960s they launched a war of cold what was it up to . It would be naive to take this at face value and think that ola palmer was concerned about Global Warming. Deep deception in the interview when he first talked about Global Warming, how much blame on the vision of utopia without the mirage, you would not get to the next oasis. Global warming with a political mirage. Sweden social democrats were about to embark on the largest but power wasnt popular with swedish voters. The social democrats decided they need to frighten them. Sweden does not have on its own. If you dont have this the first will die. After that can Global Warming. Significant played a leading role. He wrote the first government report anywhere in the world on acid rain. This report has a familiar ring. Reap places with Climate Change indeed, more than any single individual they can claim credit into Government Panel on Climate Change in sweden than any other country that the ipc into being. Global warming is politicized right from the start. It was first employed for political reasons. It completely failed when it came to nuclear power. Given that sweden started this how did we ended up with wind and solar . In my first book i touched on this. It happens to be a historical fact the nazis were the First Political party in the world to champion wind power. Just weeks after invading the soviet union, hitler was telling his companion that when power was the future. In that regard, he got something right. But for the decades after west germany was a western democracy. That began to change in the 70s, no other country has such a high proportion of far left students is west germany. Serving 69 from the 30 of the high school and University Students trained with marxism or communism. In the 50s the school of marxist internationals returned from the United States to frankfurt. There were protests against the vietnam war. Then student demonstrators were shot and killed, and put west germany on course to evolve to the progressive country it is today. The westmoreland policeman was an agent of the east german communist state. The 70s radicalization of students turned into terrorism. Plane was hijacked the head of the west Germany Association was kidnapped and killed and a member of a committed suicide. The extreme left found itself washed up. They soon found a way back. Like swedish democrats they wanted to build a power station. Theyre huge, spontaneous demonstrations, the washed up student would bend it the green party was formed in 1980, the new left, student radicals a middleage radicals were absorbing the old ecological card of x nazis in neonazis. To do this the aging student medical student have to perform, they just change color. They took the left wing concepts and dress them up in the garb that we see today. Instead of socialist utopia, instead of a call to the factory, the call to the force. Instead of the color red, the color green. I wish i had written that. There was a brilliant essay First Published in the new republic in 2001. He writes of the german student radicals and 68 and has been motivated by anti nazi is in. Looking for nazis who are hiding becoming so twisted send the state of viscera as a crypto nazi state. As they look at the situation to fight nazis and its democratic isers only to have ended up in a more leftwing eyes. This takes it one step further, not only do they share their rationality, they ended up embracing the green ideology. Red and green makes brown. Here we come to an unpleasant truth. The people who are on the wrong side of the cold war came out on top in the postcold war era. The greens help turn the Kremlin Peace Movement into a mass movement. As francis put it passes him is in the west, the missiles are in the east. They advocated equidistant, not to the east or west, but loyal to ourselves. They argued for nonviolent social defense the kind the norwegians have used in the Second World War and the checks have done so successfully. In other words, object total premeditated surrender. To say the Peace Movement was a gift would be an understatement. It was penetrated by the intelligence. If the greens got their way, the european have what have come to attached. In short, the west wouldve lost the cold war. Being on the wrong side of the cold war turned out to be a career enhancing move. In 1998 the first red Green Coalition was being formed, by giving this to the most inefficient technologies they put german on this path to energy the Renewable Energy had not been included with the election campaign. They unleashed a Solar Manufacturing boom in china. European leaders agreed. As i put in the book, the grooming of europe was the price the west paid for winning the cold war. Energy trump nation is the word germans used where was energy willing. The first outtake and what he called the essential. While its an example of destructive destruction at the hands of the state through overt regulation, i devote quite a few pages to analyzing the destructive analytics. For now i want to make a direct point. When you put green ideology and environmentalist in charge something is searching, it will be a car crash. In 2004 they formed communists and the equivalent of a scoop of ice cream and their Monthly Energy bills. Nine years later the cost could amount to 1 trillion euros. Thats some ice cream. Systematic defeat is not about in the book i place a revealing speech made in 1986 by top services. It was candid about the use of what he called empty phrases equilibrium was an example, tracy said was meaningless. Another was a claim that the ecology and economy were not in conflict. Just remember that whenever you come across claims is a total contrast to this is a model of a great scientist. A great communicator of it. All of the committee by the white house that another example of where the people were on the low side of the cold war emerges victors in the cold war era. With the exception of two individuals they signed up and subsequently became now people defer to by governments around the world. To quote what is a priceless exchange. On february 4, 1994 nightline caves air time as they told yours, the record shows that in this instance doctor was wrong to use political means to rush it ultimately be scientific the survey calls the science of freedom, the most important. They believe they knew better than the people they governed how they should be governed. To govern favorite all the knowledge is possible for him to gather and Unlimited Authority to transcend his program into law. To i need to say that this is what the climate demands of the United States. A form of government in the declaration of independence. Americas uniqueness lies not in the fact of its independence but it became independent to create something, dedicated the demands and preservation of liberty are incompatible. Science is settled but the government must act. Global warming to lance moore. Systems need to agree. Global warming harbors a strong impulse over the absolutist political culture of the totalitarian. Thats what makes america unique. Ultimately go Global Warming this for the soul. Thats why were here today, to fight it. Thank you so very much. They want to have time for questions. Have a question please raise your hands and wait for the microphone to arrive. Who has the first question. Ill go first. My name is mike, im an investor and over the hill retired physicist interested in Climate Change and all that stuff. When the soviet union falls they have listed also confessionals. You made a good case that the soviet union and International Communist role in this. He was absent in the bad things admitted doing to us in the papers that were released, there any documentation that the size is said Global Warming and some of these other things in your book or leftwing conspiracies . I except their leftward conspiracies. We did talk about the election it was a direct collusion. I think Global Warming was not, it clearly came from sweden because they had this huge leaky in the 1970s the soviet union exploited environmentalism. After this which was about human rights theres language about the environment. The soviets tried to switch this about the environment. They signed up for a new pact but it was all about demonstrated the credulous people in the soviets were on the right side. In the winter the evidence is very clear that she said this is the kgbs achievement that is taken up by there is a conference in washington i was really to undermine the Reagan Administration in the arms buildup. If they got their way the outcome wouldve been very different. I have read a few newspaper accounts that surmise the russians are involved currently in efforts to fund the fracking for the longterm purpose that you describe. Is there evidence theres that going on . Certainly the case that the russians have a huge interest in preventing fracking it has done immense damage to their economy in terms of Natural Gas Prices todayi guess and export. What i do highlight is how people like eric schmidt of google have funded anti fracking campaigns. Thereby waging war in the hydrocarbon economy that america depends opponent thrives on. Really you would have an economic civil war within capitalism. Please introduce yourself. I have a richer book. Please introduce yourself your name. I havent read your book but from what you said over here, im close to 80 years old its first time in my life that somebody had put some related issues together to reject whether scientific it were really not matter. The question is Global Warming happening or not . If its not happening happening doesnt have anything to do whether it was done by german green or soviet union or anything like that. My question is is Global Warming actually happening or not . Thank you. Theres being produced today which looks set what scientists themselves say about the certainty or lack of certainty regarding climate and the Global Warming hypothesis. I think its important. I think right this issue was put on the agenda is important to understand. The prototype of the Global Warming scare and its very clear that science turns out to be wrong. The National Academy of science in canada and sweden, they said on acid rain is no different on Global Warming. When the truth of shows interesting. They suppress the funding, they demonize. To this day, none of the academies have retracted or admitted they got the science wrong. I will put a big . Over the credibility of the organizations when they say science is separate. What you say one of the issues were dealing with is the fear mongering going on . So we started off with a Global Warming crisis and then it became Global Warming and then it became Climate Change. So they seem to be admitting that we dont have a crisis, whatever the change in weather is. To think youre mongering is a tactic theyre using . Yes, i demonstrate in the book that was embedded from the word go. There are two conferences as the ipc was being formed in austria and italy. It appears from the document is said to get governments to change politics they had to reverse engineers. They said the discount rates are so lo that we can show that much damage therefore its a great big catastrophe down the road. That enables you to justify the policies they wanted. You can read from the document somewhere in the book the reverse to get the policy response they wanted. Any other questions . Let me just say we have copies of the book available for you. Green tierney, exposing the roots of the climate industrial complex. One thing thats important to keep in mind is that we want to encourage people to seek truth. That is what were about. One of the most impressive things in addition to the content of the book is when you get to page 267 there are notes that reference other research material. That goes on to page 314. 314. In other words if you want to seek truth the first thing you should do is get a copy of the book. And then read it. And then go to the footnotes and read those materials. Dont be suckered by fear mongering, scare tactics and politicians. Get the book and seek truth. Lets all thank rupert for being here today. [applause] thank you. [inaudible] heres a look at some of the best books of the year according to publishers weekly. An answer among elephants, they describe Family History and upbringing in india. Peter manso at the National Museum caused the life of william though for his spirit photography in the operation us. New york professor Ashley Dawson explores how cities can be affected by Climate Change in extreme cities. It appears city, kim phillips because the fiscal collapse of new york city another brush with bankruptcy reshaped ideas. Wrapping up the best books of 2017 is the color of law, how local state federal legislation is responsible for segregated cities. Today the life of American Families who prohibited moving into those homes and rented apartments in the city did not gain to 300,000 in equity. White families gained that equity in today those homes are unaffordable to workingclass people. Workingclass families cannot afford that. Today there are seven times the median income. Middleclass families cannot afford to move. So, today nationwide have a ratio income, africanamerican income is about 60 of white income. Those families in this country gain their wealth through housing equity. This enormous difference between 60 income ratio of 5 wealth ratio is almost attributable to unconstitutional federal housing policy practiced in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The wealth gap is attributable to this. You can watch this on booktv. Org. [inaudible] thank you for being
