NEW WORLD DISORDER

U.N. ADVANCES GLOBAL GOVERNANCE WITH CLIMATE ACCORD

Heads of state gather to sign Paris agreement

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations in New York held a signing ceremony Thursday in which heads of state, foreign ministers and government officials with “formal powers” gathered to sign the 197-nation Paris Climate Agreement.

U.N. insiders understood the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement was intended to affirm the organization’s “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” a plan to “end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030.”

It’s a plan some critics call a “blueprint for global governance.” As WND reported, Agenda 2030 is seen as a “reboot” of the controversial Agenda 21 plan, adopted in 1992, which the U.N. has described as a “comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations system, governments and major groups, in every area in which human impacts on the environment.”

The agenda was made clear by the U.N. decision to convene a “High-Level Thematic Debate on Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” to be coincident with the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Don’t be fooled any longer — it’s just a power grab. Read “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global-Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.”

“We are gathering to discuss SDG implementation on the eve of the signing of the Paris Agreement by a great number of world leaders,” U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson said on the signing occasion. “This is an important signal: the development and climate agendas are inseparable and mutually reinforcing. One cannot be achieved without the other.

“Reducing the effects of climate change is one of the SDGs. But it is also a crucial factor for progress on nearly all other goals,” Eliasson continued. “We cannot achieve the SDGs on water, food, cities and transport, for instance, without reducing the risks of climate change.

The signing ceremony included remarks by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, French President François Holland and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who was listed on the program as a “U.N. Messenger of Peace with a special focus on climate change.”

As WND reported in May 2015, both President Obama and the Vatican under the leadership of Pope Francis are equally committed to elevating climate change to a top public policy priority, ahead of issues such as the continued surge of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and its massacre of Christians.

In so doing, both appear to be ignoring a growing body of scientific evidence challenging the assumptions on which the theory of human-caused “climate change” is based, critics contend.

In U.N. terminology, “climate change” has become a code phrase expressing the globalist argument that human-induced climate change is a scientific reality that can only be reduced by a government-imposed cap on carbon dioxide emissions achieved through systematic replacement of carbon fuels with renewable energies, including wind and solar.

As WND has reported recently, a series of high-visibility solar power plant bankruptcies, including Solyndra, Abengoa S.A., SunEdison and Mojave Desert-based Ivanpah have cast doubt on claims that renewable energies are a sufficiently robust and cost-effective to operate privately without continued dependence on taxpayer-funded government subsidies.

Obama and Pope Francis

WND reported last September President Obama spoke with little fanfare to the closing session of the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit that was convened as a high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly, at which the U.S. and 192 other U.N. members unanimously adopted the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

“And so, today, we commit ourselves to new Sustainable Development Goals, including our goal of ending extreme poverty in our world,” Obama told the U.N. meeting. “We do so understanding how difficult the task may be. We suffer no illusions of the challenges ahead. But we understand this is something that we must commit ourselves to.”

When Pope Francis spoke to the United Nations on Sept. 25, 2015, his speech served as the opening address to the 2030 Agenda summit.

In introducing the pope, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said, “Your visit today coincides with the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

Ban referenced the papal encyclical on climate change, “Laudato Si,” translated as “Praise Be To You,” a Medieval Italian phrase taken from St. Francis of Assisi’s 13th century poem prayer “Canticle of the Creatures,” written to praise God as the creator of all.

“This message of [‘Laudato Si’] is critical as we approach the pivotal climate change conference in Paris in December,” Ban continued. “Across the global agenda, His Holiness is a resounding voice of conscience. He has cried out for compassion for the world’s refugees and migrants, and solidarity with people trapped in conflict and poverty.”

Pope Francis on climate change

In the first words spoken publicly in his first visit to the United States, Pope Francis chose climate change as the topic. of his remarks at the arrival ceremony held on the South Lawn of the White House.

“Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution,” the pope said. “Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to our future generation.

“When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history,” the pope continued in his White House speech. “We still have time to make the change needed to bring about a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change.”

The pope’s remarks echoed the language of Article 59 in the U.N. Declaration on Agenda 2030, which says, “We reaffirm that planet Earth and its ecosystems are our common home and that ‘Mother Earth’ is a common expression in a number of countries and regions.”

Francis told the U.N. General Assembly in his Sept. 25 address: “The common home of all men and women must continue to rise on the foundations of a right understanding of universal fraternity and respect for the sacredness of every human life, of every man and every woman, the poor, the elderly, children, the infirm, the unborn, the unemployed, the abandoned, those considered disposable because they are only considered as part of a statistic.”

Francis also evoked the theme of “sustainable development” three times in his U.N. speech.

“The dramatic reality this whole situation of exclusion and inequality, with its evident effects, has led me, in union with the entire Christian people and many others, to take stock of my grave responsibility in this regard and to speak out, together with all those who are seeking urgently-needed and effective solutions,” the pope told the General Assembly.

“The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the World Summit, which opens today, is an important sign of hope. I am similarly confident that the Paris Conference on Climatic Change will secure fundamental and effective agreements,” Francis said.

My comments: It is the Height of Irony that the UN, the Precursor to Satan's One World Government, speaks of "Sustainability" of the Earth, when the Sins of the Nations of the UN will Soon bring About God's Great Tribulation which RUINS the Face of the Earth [Isaiah 24:1] and causes the Collapse of the Cities of the Nations [Revelation 16:19]. And the Pope, the leader of the Catholic Church, is Ignorant of this Impending Reality.
