Presentation and introduction 0:00
This was the BBC world a while ago; penetrating people's minds. "The carbon footprint" is nothing more than the creation of a sense of guilt in people, but in the end it is nothing more than an attempt to change our culture, our identity. But, even worse, it creates one more reason to control ourselves. I'm going to delve into this in the next few episodes. But it's not just the BBC; This is another massive campaign of terror, again using all the mass media, with chilling headlines such as the following: RED ALERT TO HUMANITY; THE THREAT TO THE EARTH'S BALANCE; HOW TO COOL THE PLANET, etc.; But what is a threat is that this desire to cool the earth will truly lead us to chaos.
Hello, welcome to episode No. 49 of our podcast GREATEST SCIENTIFIC FRAUDS, and No. 21 of our second season. I am your host Dr. Esteban Morales van Kwartel.
In the previous episode I said that for many years there has been a mental conditioning campaign directed towards the belief in a paradigm of chaotic, man-made global warming. For this, its advocates have used most of the mass media. I also said that this campaign has obviously been extremely successful. In all previous episodes related to this topic, I have been presenting evidence shown by notable scientists that systematically reveals the inconsistencies of the paradigm. However, the proponents of this have not only chosen to censor the opinions against, but moved on to the next phase that was to formalize the process of adopting this paradigm, officially, by the different countries, and the actions that should be taken. That's what I'm starting to talk about in this episode.
Tokio Protocol 03:46
With the creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the growing debate on the subject is concentrated. But this is a very particular debate; It is a debate whose discussion does not admit opinions against, but seeks how to deepen the conditioning of minds towards the adoption of the paradigm, no longer at the individual level, but at the global level. Here the idea is to engage all nations in a commitment, without any doubt or opposition, to the creation and adoption of concerted action aimed at combating the catastrophes predicted by the proponents of the paradigm. After multiple local and regional preparatory meetings, in Tokyo, Japan, on December 11, 1997, a multinational meeting was held where the so-called "Tokyo Protocol" was adopted. This is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits Parties to setting emission reduction targets at the international level. This is considered binding, which is a way of saying MANDATORY for all parties who subscribe to it. The parties means, the countries. Since then, in fact, long before, the UN, which is financed by the countries themselves, expresses itself as the boss or the world authority, with the consent of the countries themselves. This protocol entered into force on 16 February 2005. Its first commitment period began in 2008 and ended in 2012. For this period it was agreed that signatory countries committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of five percent compared to 1990 levels. In Doha, Qatar, on December 8, 2012, the "Doha Amendment" was adopted where a second commitment period was decided from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020 and some amendments were made to the Tokyo protocol. Here, countries pledged to reduce GHG emissions by at least 18 percent below 1990 levels in that eight-year period. Now, the most important thing about the protocol is that countries are assigned different obligations in terms of emission reductions, which I explain in the next section.
Doha Amendment 06:59
It said that in the protocol, countries are treated differently in their obligations. Developed countries are assigned reduction quotas calculated according to the amount of emissions produced; Compliance with this is mandatory. Emission reductions by underdeveloped countries are voluntary. However, these, which are generally small countries, are subjected to different types of political and economic pressures to make significant reductions. The most curious thing about this is that countries like China and India do not fall under the name of developed countries and are not susceptible to other types of pressure, so that these countries are totally subject to their own will. This responds to the system used to define what a developed country is. The main factor used is gross domestic product per capita; GDP is a count of all goods and services produced in a country in a year, expressed in US dollars. GDP per capita is calculated by dividing a country's GDP by its population. So we have that, a small country with a GDP of $1 billion and a population of 50,000 has a GDP per capita of $20,000. Countries such as China and India have huge populations so mathematically this value looks relatively low. However, to truly define a country's well-being, there are many other factors that are not used by the UN to define development.
Conclusions and farewell 09:36
This is very contradictory, especially in the case of China, which is the country with the second world economy (and I think now the first), due to its enormous industrial development. This is a huge deficiency in the implementation of the Tokyo Protocol, and, from 2020, of the Paris Agreement, which I will talk about another day, because it is widely known to everyone that this country emits an enormous amount of greenhouse gases. While the rest of the developed countries restrict their emissions due to binding commitments, which, as we will see later, amounts to restricting their development, both countries run on their own without there being exact and reliable evidence of the amount of emissions they are allowed to generate. There are, finally, two elements that catch my attention. The first is that, although under the Protocol countries must meet their objectives primarily through national measures, they are nevertheless offered three market-based mechanisms: this is a precedent whose current impact is beginning to be seen. The other is that a rigorous system of monitoring, review and verification was established, as well as a system of compliance and accountability by countries. According to the Protocol, countries' actual emissions must be monitored and accurate records of operations carried out must be kept. ALL THIS UNDER THE RIGOROUS EYE OF THE UN. This is another precedent whose current repercussions are also beginning to be seen. In the next episode I will explain what the Paris Agreement is and start talking about the economic consequences of the false paradigm of climate change.
