Schiller Institute Conference There Is No ‘Climate Emergency’—Apply the Science and Economics of Development To Stop Blackouts and Death

The Schiller Institute held a virtual international conference July 24, on the theme, “There Is No ‘Climate Emergency’—Apply Science and Economic Development To Stop Blackouts and Death,” just at the time of escalating green hysteria blaming “climate change” and CO₂ emissions for the several severe disasters at present including flooding in North Europe, China and India, the drought and heat wave in Western North America, and warnings of electricity blackouts this summer across large parts of the United States. The presentations and discussion among 20 speakers, representing eight countries, including six states, brought out that these emergencies are not from climate change, but weather events whose degree of damage is directly related to lack of infrastructure. Moreover, if the green agenda is allowed to continue, there will be mass breakdown and depopulation.

The panelists included scientists, engineers, retired military, farm leaders, a physician, a state lawmaker and others, many of whom have been leading battles within their respective sectors to debunk the green axioms, and mobilize for advanced power and infrastructure systems. Out of the conference, ideas were exchanged for even more concerted action, involving specific projects of water management, nuclear power advancement, and especially for public health security. The specifics included the Transaqua Project to refill Lake Chad in Africa, the North American Water and Power Alliance in North America, and priorities for nuclear power including micro-nuclear, small modular nuclear reactors and more. Next weekend the Schiller Institute will host a conference—July 31, 10 am EDT—focusing on the strategic importance of getting to work on full-scale development in Afghanistan.

One lifelong nuclear technology expert summed up the day’s discussion by saying the dialogue was so powerful, it was on a par with the Davos Forum—a 50 year institution, except that the Schiller Institute event was for the good, and Davos is a bunch of billionaire elites.

The keynote was given by Schiller Institute founder and President Helga Zepp-LaRouche. (See accompanying transcription in full). She repeatedly denounced the green axiom that humanity is bad, pollutes and ruins nature. Just the opposite, mankind’s creative nature is coherent with the development of the universe. The conference was opened by a video of a 1985 speech by Lyndon LaRouche addressing this topic, titled “Science is Good.” LaRouche said, “The good is the power of the mind to recognize this principle of reason as the lawful ordering of the universe….”

The conference had two sessions, beginning with, “The Economic Effects of Green MAD—Mutually Assured Destruction” which included firsthand reports from Europe and the United States on flooding, electric grid subversion, and land use attacks on agriculture—all from the Green New Deal agenda. (The Panel 1 conference speeches are in this briefing.) Schiller Institute Science Liaison Jason Ross opened and concluded the First Panel, emphasizing humanity’s “relationship to the environment” as actively within our power to affect for the good. Moreover, “we are not an Earth-limited species.” Think what we can be doing with great opportunities, like astronomical observation from the far side of the Moon.

The second panel focused on the vision, science and technology for intervening to advance development. It was titled, “Energy, World Health and the End of War: The Power of Energy Flux Density.” The Schiller Institute’s Dennis Speed moderated, with Panel 1 Co-Moderator Diane Sare, Candidate for U.S. Senate in New York.
