Moderated by Stephan Ossenkopp (Schiller Institute, Berlin), the concluding panel of the Schiller Institute conference in Strasbourg on Sunday afternoon, July 9, was titled “Scientific Ecology and Assessment of Climatic Challenges—Elimination of Poverty and Hunger in the World Is a Priority.” It featured presentations exposing the Malthusian ideology behind the entire climate debate. Christian Lévêque, emeritus Research Director at the French development research institute IRD and Honorary President of the Agricultural Academy of France, exposed the mainstream militant environmental network of NGOs like the WWF as a Western-dominated movement to arm-twist particularly the Global South, into setting aside agriculture by 30% to promote biodiversity and nature. What about the humans excluded from these 30%, what happens to them? Lévêque asked.
This dangerous policy is based on the wrong notion of nature as good, whereas in reality nature is cruel to animals and humans alike, and the same goes for Gaia the mother goddess which is worshipped on the United Nations’ “Mother Earth Day.” Lévêque wrote a book, The Double Face of Biodiversity: Nature is Not a Garden of Eden, to expose this anti-human ideology, which omits the fact that biodiversity includes animals killing and eating each other. When there was a locust plague in East Africa in 2020, the environmentalist movement stayed mum—no interest in humans affected by it.
Lévêque also pointed at the apocalyptic propaganda of the environmentalist movement, which inserts fear in the minds of people so they can be manipulated to serve... well, also big financial interests, which a 1992 cartoon showed by Lévêque exposed on pickets saying “Save the Planet... Save the Money.”
The next speaker, Dr.-Ing. Hans-Bernd Pillkahn, top manager at the metallurgical firm PROASSORT, attacked the European Union’s climate policy as just one big disaster, which particularly in Germany eliminates the basis for energy-intensive industrial production—aluminum, copper and chemical companies are forced to emigrate to other regions where there is no place for such EU idiocies.
The problem, Pillkahn said, is that the EU does not care about documented facts but constructs correlations that are fake. In the northwestern region of Germany where he lives, Pillkahn said, there are about the same number of storks as newborn babies—is there a correlation? Not even a Green Party voter would dare to say that….
