They do not want to clean up the environment. They are gaining too much control and money to give that up. People need to realize that these international organizations are not in place to hear from ordinary people or groups. Global control is what they are shooting for. The illuminati is not interested in our opinions. The UN often leaves many out in the cold. They do not want to clean up the environment. They are gaining too much control and money to give that up.

More over, big business and industry are no longer in denial about the effect that their activities have on the environment. Many now clamor for leadership from world governments on the fossil fuel question. It is evident to me that the capitalist system is incapable of addressing environmental issues. Even more alarming is world governments inability to come to any agreement on a course of action. It is clear how we use and produce energy is critical to our survival. The wealthy nations of the world must embark on a publicly funded campaign to change the way we power our vehicles, homes and businesses. We must use our resources sustainably and learn to live with less. If we do this on a financial scale much larger than the Manhattan Project, we will put millions to work and quite possibly chart a path to peace as nations will no longer struggle for control of fossil fuels and other limited resources.

They are filling the void of leadership left by current political schemes and are assuming the leadership of today and tomorrow.
