The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one – “climate change” and the “decline of democracy.”
It says fighting the former can save the latter as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables.
The WEF paper argues for the past 15 years, democracy has been in decline worldwide. To protect and promote freedom, “leading democracies must strengthen their economies and safeguard liberty.”
It goes on to say ignoring progress toward a “low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less” while repeating the broader demand of environmental activists for companies to stop investing fossil fuels. more
I fart in their(WEF) general direction.
“leading democracies must strengthen their economies and safeguard liberty.”
That would imply energy independence and a focus on RELIABLE energy sources — that is, non-“green” energy, like coal, oil, or nuclear, and NOT wind or solar. It would also mean NOT buying energy from countries whose values are not aligned with your own (cough cough * RUSSIA * cough cough), and who are also capable of cutting you off from that energy should it become expedient for them to do so.
In other words – “Obey us or lose your freedoms!”.
These elitists don’t give 2 shakes about us and our freedoms. Is it freedom to be held hostage by Russia when it comes to energy.
To save democracy everyone must stop filing/ paying federal income taxes it will also stop climate change. Pass the message along we must help mother earth.
And if you believe that I have a beautiful older bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you at a great price!
I agree Mark; save a tree!
They not only do not want us to use fossil fuels, they want most of us dead. Starving us to death is one of their main goals.
What is it about money and power that make people as dumb as AOC? Anyone?
Democracy is a ravening beast.
And the WEF doesn’t give a flying fuck about Democracy, Freedom, Liberty, Justice, or any other philosophical concerns. The WEF is a group of greedy, megalomaniacal, nihilistic, totalitarian, Princes of Satan, would-be Dictators of Earth.
The WEF is a cancer – it must be excised – burnt – destroyed utterly – so that not even Satan can put the ashes back together.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I gots news for yous….
It’ll NEVER be high enough for these Marxists!!
Jethro captured the essence of the left. ‘Obey us or lose your freedoms.’ A friend, ardent socialist, responded to my comment that socialism doesn’t work and has never worked with ‘But if everyone just went along it would work fine.’ I was nonplussed to say the least.
A bunch of degenerate billionaire cunts say that in order to save the (their) World, we must all be poorer while they continue to get richer.
If you can’t define a woman, how can you define democracy?
And who said democracy is worth saving?
@ Jethro
I don’t think you got it right. It should be: We know what’s best for you. Obey us, you don’t need your freedom.

Illionaire necropædos. Who were given illions. To rule over those that worship democracy. By those that rule democracy.
Be a real shame if these people all died in a mass shooting in Davos.

Never going to happen. Gun free zones are for children and peasants. Elites may not like us having guns but they are well protected by men carrying guns.

Men who go home. To sleep safely among the peasants. Who watch over the gunmen’s children during the day. To keep them safe.
To save democracy – so they’re finally admitting it’s the same as Marxism?
