I remembered this little gem from a few years ago. November 14, 2010 interview of Ottmar Edenhofer.
For those who may not know, Ottmar Edenhofer is the co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III.
Yes, he is also a TOTAL LOOTER and it's NOT about SCIENCE.

Summary of Article.....
===============
"Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated."
===============

From the horse's mouth...

    I saw him the other day on FOX. He was debating Beckel. All Beckel had was his usual ad hominem... The typical fallback of one ill equipped to argue unemotional facts.

    Yes, Patrick Moore.
    He believes in objective environmentalism. He views the lumber industry as a sustainable renewable resource for example. He also believes that nuclear power is our best energy source for the future and that oil and gas are going to be needed for the foreseeable future. A very sensible man.

    Hello WBD,
    Agenda driven "science" is not science. I enjoyed the recent revelations by one of the founders of Greenpeace. He is no longer a believer.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    I think he's referring to environmental policy in general. Not just CO2 emissions. He's admitting that generally, environmental policy now is about global socialism.

    "This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole."
    Not almost nothing to do with the ozone hole, nothing to do with it. I've never heard any evidence of climate change being related to the ozone hole. The ozone hole was caused by chemicals that have been mostly eliminated, and the problem is going away.
