Dutch military chief claims we must fight
climate change…
At the Canadian Halifax International Forumthis weekend Dutch Commander in Chief Tom Middendorp warned climate change is
real and is a source of social unrest and conflict.
The Dutch General went on to claim. “We
must stop the Earth warming up further and it should be a priority for
everyone, including the military.”
Climate change is primarily a direct threat,
especially for Holland which lies in some places 5 meters under sea level.
Middendorp recalled the flood of 1953 in which Dutch troops rescued civilians,
strengthened the dykes and cleared carcasses of dead animals. The land was
unusable for years after because it was contaminated with sea salt.
He goes on to say, “It’s the third year in
a row a warmest year has been recorded and 16 of the 17 warmest years have been
recorded this century and this week the North Pole is currently 20 degrees
warmer than normal. This has undeniably consequences and may affect our
security. "
Middendorp said that climate change in the
European population entails already enormous risks. "The UK suffered in
2014 with a 20 billion euro bill for economic damage from floods and
storms."
“Climate change comes from other social and
indirect threats, said Dutch top general. He pointed to drought, crop failure
and rising food prices. They formed a raw material for the Arab Spring. The war
in Syria proceeded years of drought, making many residents move from the
countryside to the cities.”
“A lack of food, energy and clean water in
the West would lead to instability that could degenerate into chaos, conflict
and migration.” He said.
Do we really want the military messing with
our weather, I personally can’t think of anything scarier!
It's no secret any more the US military
have weaponized "the weather" and are using it around the globe to unstable
certain countries, HAARP for instance is a weapon thought to be capable of shooting
microwaves into the sky causing hurricanes, typhoons even earthquakes. The
Chinese military have seeded clouds in certain parts of drought affected areas
to make it rain, The US Army seeded clouds in the Vietnam war with their now
infamous “Operation Popeye” and of course governments worldwide have been
spraying the sky with aluminum to help cool the planet, you could even say,
climate change is in part caused by the military!
The Battle of Gog and Magog? Russia Iran and Turkey come together North Korea prepares for the "end" and German's are told to stock up for disaster!
The weather and climate are not the same thing. His call to fight climate change comes naturally from his position, as he understands that global (security) issues are very connected to climate change. Read his statements again and try not to read 'weather' for every word 'climate'. Trying to link this statement with some experimental weapon systems may make it more interesting for some readers, but you are acting dangerously in line with the agenda of the oil companies and climate change deniers (no scientists in that category BTW).

Thank you
DeleteI really don't understand why people including scientist don't understand the reasons for climate change, so Please allow me to describe Global-Warming in a different way. As is, our planet earth has a yearly weather pattern, divided into four seasons winter, summer, spring, and fall. well, our planet earth also has a weather pattern that is a little longer, seasons, known as climate change with a 26 thousand year cycle, caused by a wobble on our planet's rotation, so you can count on this wobble to turn slowly in increments of 6.5 thousand years for each season. Consider climate change as a clock, a 26k year clock, and so you can view our Global Warming situation to be at it's 6 o'clock and that the Ice Age will peak again at it's 12 o'clock mark. Remember the great Biblical flood? Said to have happened 7500 years ago, putting that date at just before the 3 o'clock mark. when everything was starting to thaw, melt and flood the world as it was biblically noted.
ReplyDeleteSo In other words, just as in the yearly cycles, we cannot stop the snow from melting in summer, nor the glaciers from melting in the global warming, would that makes more historical sense? Do you want more historical notations known as facts? Try the Native Americans entering the American continent, some 19k years ago, or about 3k years before the Ice Age peak, by then, at the Bearing Straight, the land-bridge would have been frozen already, the proof is all in the cycles and the understanding of them. In about 6.5k years from now, the global weather will turn very cold again, that will continue for the next 13k years, the Ice Age will peak again and the glaciers will return, so stop crying already, and enjoy the warm weather that will end in about 6.5k years from now.
