HANS BLIX FEARS GLOBAL WARMING MORE THAN WAR

Comments Indicate Other Reasons Why U.S. Feared by Some Europeans

New York, March 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) In a lengthy interview today on MTV News, current UN weapons inspection chief Hans Blix reveals that he is more worried about global warming than war and peace.

Blix indicates in the interview that the U.S. tendency towards unilateralism is a serious concern. The U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol is given as an example. Also implied are other Bush actions such as the U.S. refusal to participate in the International Criminal Court, its removal of UNFPA funding because of UNFPA support for abortion, its opposition to a UN tax on international transactions, the Mexico City policy and U.S. delegate opposition to many anti-life, anti-family initiatives at the UN since the Bush administration replaced the pro-UN Clinton administration.

The MTV interviewer asks Blix "do you notice, as many have suggested, that there's an increasing unilateralist bent in the United States government?" Blix responds, "Yeah. On big issues like war in Iraq, but in many other issues they simply must be multilateral. There's no other way around. You have the instances like the global warming convention, the Kyoto protocol, when the U.S. went its own way. I regret it. To me the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and war. We will have regional conflicts and use of force, but world conflicts I do not believe will happen any longer. But the environment, that is a creeping danger. I'm more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict."

It is no secret that under George W. Bush there has been a dramatic change at the UN. The grand plans of the international elites who have been using the UN to advance a radical New World Order have been badly spoiled by Bush. EU leaders and Canada's Liberal government are especially unhappy and angry.

Pro-life, pro-family delegates have had far less lobbying to do at the UN since powerful Clinton administration support was lost to the one-worlders. The dirty procedural tricks have been harder to pull off and the previous tactic of using swarms of un-elected, unaccountable NGOs to influence the direction of the UN appears to have fizzled.

Apart from the confusion and real dangers of the Iraq war, more observers are also seeing what appears to be a major cultural conflict taking place around the war. This conflict is not between Moslems and Christians, but rather between those who value cultural independence and national sovereignty versus those who view new and very powerful UN-related agencies as the only solution to supposed overpopulation, environmental calamity and obstructive traditional religious and moral principles.
