A Contribution to the Climate Debate

-Bert Schwitters, 31 January 2007 The "Climate" issue was put on the political - UN - agenda in 1972 by Mr. Maurice Strong et al, when he commissioned Barbara Ward and René Dubos to concoct a book entitled "Only One Earth". The book makes interesting reading. It served to set the tone and the agenda for the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm during June of the same year, 1972. Mr. Strong not only commissioned the writing of the book, he was also the secretary-general of the Stockholm Conference (see PDF). The book abounds in phrases that have been repeated over and over again.
