The environmentalist movement and the World Economic Forum are skipping down the road to world domination. My guest tonight explains how. Sheila Gunn-Reed and Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science join me to discuss all things WEF and climate change.
00:00:41.280The environmentalist movement for a very long time.
00:00:43.900For example, before Christmas, she did a really great video on the Friends of Science YouTube channel wherein she explained how the World Economic Forum was interested in exactly what kind of Christmas tree you plan to have in your house.
00:00:57.640And they gave out their recommendations based on the climate footprint of your Yuletide celebrations.
00:01:04.040It's that ridiculous, but it is that extent to which these people want to control every aspect of your life because they can.
00:01:18.140So joining me today in an interview we recorded, well, earlier this morning, is my friend Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science to discuss all things World Economic Forum and how that joins hands with the environmentalist movement to tell you exactly how to live.
00:02:12.700And Michelle, tell us why we need to be worried about the World Economic Forum.
00:02:19.060Because even mainstream, sorry, before I cut you off, I just cut you off.
00:02:22.760But mainstream politicians are telling us this is a conspiracy theory, that we shouldn't care about any of this.
00:02:28.420Well, we should care quite a lot about it because the World Economic Forum, perhaps in its original formation, was a novel way to sort of shape the future of the world in a constructive way.
00:02:43.460Probably up until around 2006, at that point, they had identified that a global price, oil price shock would be devastating to the world economy.
00:02:54.920They'd also identified that a pandemic would be devastating to the world economy.
00:02:59.960So, they had created this list of global risks.
00:03:04.340Now, somehow, in the meantime, they completely forgot about that.
00:03:08.060And in 2020, just before the pandemic hit, they had replaced all of these global risks with one, climate change.
00:03:15.860So, you have to wonder why they did that and who's cashing in on the fact that, yes, there was a pandemic and, yes, there now is a global oil price shock.
00:03:34.440So, one thing that's interesting is that Al Gore and his generation investment management and Questa Depot invested in what's called Fintrack companies just prior to the pandemic.
00:03:49.740I think it was a couple of years prior.
00:03:51.800And, of course, these Fintrack, or not Fintrack, Fintech, Fintech, pardon me.
00:03:56.580And, of course, Fintech is financial tech.
00:03:59.020So, these companies during the pandemic, you know, that were virtually worthless, suddenly exploded in value because everybody had to do things virtually.
00:04:10.720And the same for all the big tech companies.
00:04:12.980They're all signed on to the Great Reset.
00:04:24.020So, they made literally a killing during the pandemic.
00:04:31.020And, you know, when you look at Canada's 2006 pandemic plan, which is a 550-page document, the word lockdown does not appear once in that document.
00:04:42.980That was supposed to be our management plan going forward for any future pandemics after the SARS pandemic hit Toronto and Ontario region.
00:04:54.260So, you know, I think people should look at the document that was released in the fall of 2019 called Exponential Roadmap.
00:05:04.420Where this group of people associated mostly with the Stockholm Climate Resilience Centre and PICS, the Potsdam Climate Institute, which work closely with the Club of Rome, which works closely with the World Economic Forum.
00:05:25.760In this document, Exponential Roadmap, they wanted to cut global emissions in half by 2030.
00:05:34.980Immediately after this document came out, Marianna Mazzucato, who is the modern monetary theorist economist who has been consulting with British Columbia, on their climate plans, she wrote a very influential op-ed saying, you know, if we aren't careful, we'll have to go into climate lockdown soon.
00:05:56.440And immediately after that, in November, the UNEP issued a public statement saying that we're going to have to have economic lockdowns every year for the next decade.
00:06:11.540They even issued this tweet and a little video, I'm pretty sure some people will remember it, called Lockdowns are Improving the World.
00:06:23.400And in it, they featured a single individual on a skateboard, skateboarding through a gutted, empty, dead city, a dystopian nightmare.
00:06:37.120And the backlash was so strong that they actually deleted the tweet and took this thing down.
00:06:42.200But that tells you that the World Economic Forum is very interested in lockdowns, that they were influential in the lockdowns,
00:06:51.520that they are all connected to the big tech companies that didn't allow people to question anything and that profited by orders of magnitude during lockdowns,
00:07:04.340while small and medium-sized businesses and individuals were gutted and killed and slaughtered by lockdowns.
00:07:12.520Lockdowns that never appeared in any emergency plan and lockdowns that even the medical doctor in the States who is widely credited with a big role in eradicating smallpox,
00:07:28.680he and a couple of other people wrote a paper, which I mentioned in my recent Freedom Talk.
00:07:34.780And in it, they said that lockdowns would have such serious consequences that it should never, ever be considered.
00:07:42.840So we have to think, here's this unelected, unaccountable, transnational organization, the World Economic Forum,
00:07:51.180which now has host state status in Switzerland, which means it's been elevated to the same kind of global status as, say, the Red Cross.
00:09:10.340Oh, the billionaires devoured the world.
00:09:13.440And in the opening part here, the author is talking about how Bainoff was saying that, you know, we CEOs saved the planet during the pandemic because we were such great guys.
00:09:40.180And this author is just astounded that he could even think of that when all these small businesses and individuals were suffering terribly.
00:09:51.880And he's patting himself on the back because he claimed that, you know, we're essential workers and we saved the world.
00:09:57.860So, I can't find it right now, but it's disgusting to think that these are the kind of people who are part of the World Economic Forum.
00:10:07.140They have no regard for you as an individual.
00:10:34.240Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything that the World Economic Forum does.
00:10:40.060So, why would you take a 16-year-old girl who's not a climate scientist, give her a world stage, scare millions of children, especially, and also many adults around the world, for Greta to say, I want you to feel the panic, the fear I feel every day.
00:10:58.740And in 2021, when she was asked about that, when testifying to U.S. Congress, Republican Congressman Norman asked her, what's the science behind your comment?
00:11:27.160Clintel, the group of over a thousand scientists and scholars who say that there's no climate emergency, they sent a letter to the Swiss government saying that they should remove the host status of the World Economic Forum for this.
00:11:46.180It's a crime against humanity to scare little children in this way.
00:11:50.580But you see how powerful these people are.
00:11:53.320And like in an individual country, you could probably go after some of these corporations or individuals if they were doing that.
00:12:01.980But because it's this transnational, unelected, unaccountable group of people who are very interconnected and have very interconnected commercial interests, you know, there's almost nothing you can do.
00:12:15.280It's outside the sovereignty of our laws for most for the most part.
00:12:24.180No, no, there's so much to unpack there.
00:12:26.060And as you were writing, I was making notes.
00:12:28.460You know, it's true, the rhetoric, this fear-mongering rhetoric that the World Economic Forum allowed Greta Thunberg to spew with impunity.
00:12:40.980And I say that now, especially because she's an adult.
00:13:04.260But we know that people react like this all the time where they self-sterilize because, you know, the world's going to end.
00:13:09.860So why even bring children into this mess?
00:13:12.940Yes. And, you know, the reason I said, you know, I'm not feeding into conspiracy theories when I say, like, they're being treated as though they are the Vatican.
00:13:21.560I don't mean that in, oh, you know, like the Vatican is this evil cabal.
00:13:25.600I mean, that's an organization elevated.
00:13:31.220Yes. Holy status where they get this special state status.
00:13:34.380And as you were talking, I'm like, oh, yeah, there's the savior complex with the billionaires that saved the world.
00:13:40.560Um, and, uh, that they are the only way like, you know, that they are the only way forward, which is very religious when you, when you hear about it.
00:13:52.740And, um, you know, as you were talking about the climate change motives of these people, it reminded me of a video that you did, because if you pop open the front page of the World Economic Forum under their climate change section, which I'm always very interested in, because, um, these conferences are full of SUVs.
00:14:14.100When they tell me I have to drive an unreliable electric car, um, they are talking about limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid catastrophe.
00:14:24.300And I was talking about this last week with Tom Harris, when he was on the show, you did this incredible video where you went in your backyard and you put thermometers out and you said, okay, how do you even, how do you even decide what the global temperature is this average global temperature that we can't go past when we can't even figure out what the temperature is in someone's backyard.
00:14:45.220When you get the temperature on your phone or on your computer and it says, oh, you know, like in Elk Island Park, which is the closest one to me, um, it's going to be 15 degrees today, but that's only at that moment at that specific weather station, but literally three feet away, it can be drastically different.
00:15:06.420How do they scare us with this number when there's no possible way that you can measure it?
00:15:10.360Right. And you can make it more or less simply by adding or removing a few thermometers.
00:15:16.800You can say, well, you know, that monitoring station is not operating properly and a lot of them actually aren't so, you know, but you can remove it from the mix and then therefore you can have a higher or lower, uh, temperature average.
00:15:34.040It's actually not measuring the real temperature.
00:15:36.600It's measuring the temperature anomaly based on a 30 year average.
00:15:41.100Uh, this is what the GISS measures and the anomaly measurements are made between stations that are 1200 kilometers apart.
00:15:50.580So you can go to the NASA website and read, um, a piece called the elusive surface air temperature.
00:15:59.240And that's what I based that little video on.
00:16:02.580Um, and in it, they say that to actually get a full representation of what a temperature would be in any location, you'd have to have a stack of thermometers, 50 feet high.
00:16:12.580Uh, so, and then you'd have to have those stacks everywhere in that location.
00:16:18.180And in my backyard, I had a 22 degree difference in temperature between the, the, uh, the, uh, monitors, thermometers.
00:16:29.560You know, it's so fascinating because they keep driving home.
00:16:32.220It's like 1.5 degrees or we're all going to die, but you could just change that by putting the thermometer under a tree.
00:16:40.740That's how easily these statistics are gamed and, but they're still writing these huge policies that affect our lives based on this 1.5 degree Celsius goal.
00:16:52.440And I even saw Andrew Weaver, who's sort of the king of climate science in Canada, talking on, um, uh, webinar, um, through the UBC Okanagan.
00:17:03.280And in his presentation, he said that the 1.5 degree Celsius is actually a political target.
00:17:11.500So the other thing that I was thinking about, I, you know, I wasn't feeling well a couple of months ago and I was thinking 1.5 degrees, you know, when you got that thermometer in your mouth, you know, if you go over 1.5 degrees, you're very sick, right?
00:17:27.680So they've anthropomorphized this scientific parameter and that's why we also see the earth, you know, often with the earth is sick and it's, you know, sweating and it's got a, it's got a thermometer in its mouth.
00:18:05.680Now, I wanted, you touched on something when, in your initial rant, which I just really, I really enjoyed, but you talked about just the anti-humanness of, or anti-humanity of the World Economic Forum where they're discussing, you know, well, these, these COVID lockdowns worked because look, the greenhouse gas emissions went down when we locked everybody in their homes and destroyed their lives.
00:18:32.260So let's consider doing this going forward.
00:18:35.920And I thought, what an awful thing to advise because the human cost is so great.
00:18:43.960I saw this just, it just came out yesterday.
00:18:48.000Alberta saw a significant increase in excess deaths during the pandemic, especially among young people.
00:18:54.820So these are not people who died of or with COVID.
00:18:58.320These are young people who were just dying through suicide, through deaths of despair, through drug overdoses, through loneliness, delayed medical care.
00:19:12.180Not because the doctors weren't available, because they were trying to keep the hospitals empty for a surge that never actually came.
00:19:19.060And people are, people are literally dying.
00:19:22.300So when you say, when you use words like slaughter, and they have blood on their hands, and death, they do.
00:19:28.980These are, this is what will happen annually, if we consider doing what the World Economic Forum wants us to do to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
00:19:38.260Right, and you have to, you know, going back to that item I mentioned, exponential roadmap.
00:19:45.420If you go through that PowerPoint, you'll find that all of the things that happened during lockdown were recommended there.
00:19:56.780You know, they saw transportation as the huge thing.
00:19:59.740And so what happened during lockdown, no school buses, no parents driving kids to school, no one going to medical appointments, or very few people going to medical appointments, very few, or a reduction of the huge number of nursing and doctor care staff going to and from hospitals.
00:20:19.700Shut down of many of the hospital equipment, you have to realize that the medical community and industry contributes 5% of global GHGs, apparently.
00:20:35.760And there are Canadian doctors who are contributors to an article in the British Medical Journal calling for net zero health care.
00:20:43.740And they want to cut health care emissions in half by 2030.
00:20:52.140And in their article, they claim that because of the pivot that was so great during the COVID lockdown, that it should be easy to do this.
00:21:03.900Now, the only easy way to do this is to go through hospitals and unplug sick people.
00:21:10.500The only easy way to do that is to let sick people live in pain, not treat them, and let them take medical assistance in dying.
00:21:22.040I have to say this is an economic consideration that is rippling around the world, this whole idea of net zero health care.
00:21:30.260And in the UK, they have a journal called geriatrics and climate change.
00:21:39.160And they have geriatrics in a time of climate change, where they're actually measuring elderly people's carbon footprint as an energy user.
00:22:16.960At the last Davos in 2020, they had Jane Goodall saying, you know, all the climate problems would be solved if we just had 500 million people on Earth.
00:22:29.260You know how many people that would mean getting rid of?
00:22:31.920So, you know, is this whole idea of lockdowns to save the planet a plausible deniability of getting rid of a lot of people?
00:23:43.200And we've all heard stories of older people who are in nursing homes that are opting for medical assistance and dying because they're just so lonely.
00:23:54.880And they don't know when the next lockdown is going to come.
00:23:58.620There were plenty of stories about that that came out during the pandemic.
00:24:13.060And, you know, of course, the Canadian Parliamentary Budget Office put out a report just before they changed the MAID legislation in Canada showing how great the savings are if somebody just opts for MAID rather than continuing to live out to the end of their life.
00:24:32.580You know, and again, I want to say, as I've mentioned to you before, my brother did opt for MAID.
00:24:38.100He was in a chronic declining condition, and I supported his decision, but, you know, it shouldn't be used as a way just to get rid of people.
00:24:50.400Or there's a case right now where there's a woman who's disabled and has some health issues and can't find the right kind of housing on her disability budget.
00:25:40.560Fraser Institute has a study about our unfunded liabilities.
00:25:44.300And these are not being addressed in any concrete, practical manner.
00:25:51.580And I have to ask the question, is this the solution that these clever kids came up with over at the World Economic Forum to solve this economic problem?
00:26:01.920Because if you get rid of a lot of people, then there's a whole bunch of pensions you don't have to pay.
00:26:10.220I mean, even again, if you go to the World Economic Forum's climate change page, there's this big headline that says, and again, this goes to their anti-humanity.
00:26:21.160Russia's war in Ukraine will have a huge impact on the environment.
00:27:14.800But I'm questioning, why is the World Economic Forum on the side of Ukraine when they're in Switzerland?
00:27:23.300And the one thing I can suggest is that it's a climate war, because the World Economic Forum wants to have a global price on carbon by 2030.
00:27:32.000That's in their little video of, you know, by 2030, you'll own nothing and be happy.
00:27:39.680But Russia, of course, is a huge oil and gas producer.
00:27:43.960They're supplying most of Europe with oil and gas and coal.
00:27:48.420And they wouldn't want to have a carbon price, just like Alberta doesn't want to have a carbon price, because it destroys your market, right?
00:28:00.160So, you know, there's this other kind of climate thing in the background between the World Economic Forum and Russia's interests or the interest of any part of the world that has lots of fossil fuels.
00:28:11.440So, you know, it could be that the World Economic Forum is, you know, it's in this little tiny country of Switzerland where most of the money of the world is hiding.
00:28:22.480So they have all the money, but they don't have any fossil fuels, right?
00:28:32.140And I believe there is a plan to, you know, make sure that everyone has a personal carbon ration.
00:28:38.580So all these people with private jets and big yachts and people who fly to environmental conferences to get an award, these people are the ones who are trying to make sure that you have a personal carbon ration on your VAX port.
00:28:54.240So that, you know, maybe you can't buy gas anymore, because you surpassed your personal carbon ration.
00:29:03.040But, you know, their theory is that, well, that's okay, because you can just buy more credits from someone who has some that they haven't used.
00:29:11.120You know, so that would change the entire economic structure of the world to an energy economy.
00:29:21.420You know, and it's interesting when you hear them say, oh, the solution to the skyrocketing energy prices caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine and the stranglehold that Russia has on Western Europe through natural gas exports, the solution to that for these people is an immediate green transition.
00:29:45.680So I don't think they actually have a problem with this war, however it shakes out, because for them, the ends justify the means.
00:29:54.520And the ends for them is an immediate transition to green energy, not ramping up exports from friendly countries who can put liquefied natural gas in a tanker ship and send it off to Germany, like Australia, like Canada, like the United States.
00:30:10.520They don't see that as the solution in any of this.
00:30:15.280In fact, they just issued a report today, which is called Fostering Effective Energy Transition.
00:30:23.160And that's exactly what they're doing.
00:30:24.660They issued that report with Accenture, which is a big sort of accounting firm, global type of accounting firm.
00:30:32.400And you'd think that these dummies, since they're supposedly so smart, you'd think these dummies would know that if you're going to make a wind turbine, you're going to need three essential elements, lots of coal, lots of oil and lots of natural gas.
00:30:50.720So, to claim that we can go to an energy transition of wind and solar and not use oil, natural gas and coal is simply ludicrous.
00:30:59.880So, who are they pulling the wool over the eyes on, the ordinary citizens?
00:31:06.900You know, but they want this energy transition because wind and solar create renewable energy credits, which are like tradable monopoly money.
00:31:15.520So, they don't create much energy, but they don't care if you don't have energy.
00:31:20.280I mean, look what's happening in the UK now.
00:31:22.600I think energy bills are expected to go up something like to 3,000 pounds a year.
00:31:28.300A lot of energy providers there have gone bankrupt because they bet on markets at a price that they can't afford anymore.
00:31:37.380So, you know, the public there, they've already had a heat or eat problem for many years.
00:31:44.560We had Benny Pizer here, I think it was in 2013, and he told us it was called to heat or to eat, Europe's failed climate policy.
00:31:54.120And at that time, you know, grandmothers and grandfathers were choosing to stay in bed on Christmas Day because they didn't have enough money to heat their flat and they didn't have enough money for a festive meal.
00:32:05.840So, I think about 3,000 premature deaths have been happening every year there for over a decade because of this heat or eat poverty.
00:32:17.060And many children grow up malnutritioned because of heat or eat poverty.
00:32:21.320So, you know, these policies literally are killing people.
00:32:26.200And in the meantime, you know, we just did an event with Joanne Nova from Australia last couple of nights ago.
00:32:34.080And she shows how China is just buying up as much coal and oil and gas as it can buy, you know, laughing at us.
00:32:46.380So, you know, what are we doing listening to these people from the World Economic Forum who don't even know how wind and solar are made and who predicted in 2006 that a global oil price shock and a pandemic would be devastating to the world economy and then sat back and let both those things happen.
00:33:05.880Yeah. Yep. Who are these people? Yeah. They should be in jail.
00:33:10.960Well, and as you were talking about the carbon ration that they would like us all to have, just so people know, this is not a conspiracy theory.
00:33:19.500As you were talking, I plugged that into the search engine or the search bar on the World Economic Forum website just out of the corner of my eye here.
00:33:27.480And they are promoting this. This credit card has a carbon emission spending limit.
00:33:33.880So what this credit card that they're promoting does is it analyzes your spending on your credit card and then sort of cuts you off once you get to a certain point.
00:33:45.740And one of the ways they do this is through your spending on food.
00:33:49.440And you'll never guess, Michelle, you'll never guess meat lovers, according to these people, have a much higher carbon footprint by diet, but your vegetarians and your vegans much, much lower, even though I get even if your avocado has to come from thousands of miles south, the beef that's just walking around in my yard.
00:34:13.500But apparently one of those is a higher carbon footprint, according to the World Economic Forum.
00:34:20.360So this is not just carbon rationing in your life, but carbon rationing in the most basic fundamental thing that keeps you alive.
00:34:28.440And that's nutrition. I think they want us malnourished. And I don't think that's a conspiracy theory.
00:34:34.060Well, they want people to stop using more of the resources that they use. They don't want people to fly.
00:34:40.920I mean, they had a little contest where they came up with all kinds of of aviation posters.
00:34:47.860And one of them was a plane with the wing snapped off. And the headline is break the habit.
00:34:54.100Well, they sure did that, didn't they? Yeah.
00:34:56.580I'm not really keen to fly anywhere these days. Are you kidding me?
00:35:00.500Have somebody sticking things up my nose? Me in a quarantine camp? I don't know.
00:35:05.440You know, anyhow. So, you know, you just mentioned that this is not a conspiracy theory.
00:35:12.460And it's not. You know, the Bank of Canada even has a great reset publication.
00:35:17.500And you should know also that the Club of Rome has a publication on the climate emergency.
00:35:27.880And of course, their solution is that we should just throw lots of your money at it and build wind and solar farms.
00:35:35.040And yet in Recharge, which is a renewables online newspaper, last couple of weeks, they reported that the wind industry is just dying.
00:36:18.080So, you know, it's odd that Accenture and the World Economic Forum are somehow not aware of this reality.
00:36:25.700It's odd that the federal government in Canada is not aware of this reality because they're promoting a clean electricity standard for Canada that would be reliant on wind and solar and hydro.
00:36:41.140And they think they can hook up a national grid in Canada and that will solve the problem because they think there's so much power in the James Bay Dam that they could just send it to Alberta down a transmission line.
00:36:53.420But, in fact, Quebec was propped up this winter by Ontario's natural gas because they don't have enough power on the grid, even with the big James Bay Dam.
00:37:38.840And yet we're getting away from it and focusing on unreliable and expensive electricity.
00:37:43.960Friends of Science had a great video sort of over, I think it was over the Christmas break, where you broke down just how little wind and solar energy there is on the grid here in Alberta.
00:37:56.520It was like two hours or something during the day over the course of a month that they could have run Alberta on solar or any sort of renewable energy.
00:38:07.020Yeah, because people don't realize it's they always say, oh, well, the wind's always blowing somewhere.
00:39:22.900So people should have a look at our show with Joanne Nova because it's called How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Grid in a Million Expensive Steps.
00:39:33.860And she calls it Australia is the crash test dummy of renewables.
00:39:54.480Let us know how people can support the work that you do at Friends of Science, because frankly, you are up against billions and billions of dollars in foreign funding that floods into Canada to, you know, promote the climate scare, as Tom Harris would say.
00:40:10.420And you're just a little mom and pop grassroots shop of actual scientists trying to spread the word and give people the tools and facts and arguments to take out into the world.
00:40:43.420You can send an e-transfer to friends of contact at friendsofscience.org.
00:40:48.660That's contact at friendsofscience.org.
00:40:53.020There's a donate button on our website.
00:40:55.760And if you can't come up with cash, then you can just share our material.
00:41:00.760I will mention it is our 20th year of operation.
00:41:03.460We are trying to raise $200,000 by the end of June.
00:41:06.900We have 43,000 subscribers on YouTube.
00:41:11.440And one of the people in one of our chats said, you know, if every one of these subscribers just gave you guys $12, you know, you'd be doing fine.
00:41:45.840And I cannot recommend your YouTube channel enough.
00:41:48.580You take these big, crazy, horrible, overwhelming, I think purposefully complex ideas so that, you know, I think they're purposefully complex so that normal people are like, fine, I don't get it.
