Parrot King Charles & David Attenborough Nonsense WWF Activists They Naively Accept as ‘Science’ – Do You Care?

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was established in 1961 to raise funds for wildlife conservation and immediately recruited European royalty to help attract wealthy benefactors. At first it was a novel good cause and this is why Britain royal familyplus them close friend David Attenborough, have been staunch supporters for six decades. For more than twenty years, however, WWF has not been the benevolent conservation organization it was in the 1960s, but these powerful men have supported them more strongly than ever.

Prince Philip was the first president of WWF-UK but ended his relationship with the group when they turned into a political activist organization lobbying for fossil fuel restrictions. human-caused global warming. However, Prince Charles, now King Charles III, became even more involved in the WWF propaganda machine and ended up encouraging his son William, now heir apparent, to do the same.

When the WWF began to falsely advertise itself as a scientific body decades ago, these naive elite promoters accepted it without a doubt, likening the views there’s no basis for WWF’s climate apocalypse at every opportunity. These men do not speak to a knowledgeable authority on the subject: they use their lofty positions to assist WWF and others in achieving their utopian dreams: destroy for others capitalism that created their own wealth and power.

It is clear that now many of the goals of WWF are also shared by World Economic Forum (WEF), and these complement the King and David Attenborough’s vision for the future. They all want to go back to a world with few people living frugally, roundabout lives while the rich make their jet-setting ways. The king will lobby again for their shared vision of the world This Friday at Buckingham Palace.

Attenborough also spoke directly on the subject a few weeks ago (see below) after years of documentary and public statement it makes His position is very clear. Attenborough became an official WWF ambassador in 2015, the same year WWF partnered with Netflix and BBC to make their first documentary, ‘Our Planet’. WWF’s misperceptions about science have prevailed in ‘Our Planet’, so it’s no wonder the documentary is filled with misinformation and scams. The movie has notoriety failure of walrus that’s the focus of my book, Fallen Symbols: Sir David Attenborough and the Deception of the Hippocampus.

I have reproduced an excerpt below about the WWF-Royal-Attenborough connection as an important foundation for understanding the power structure of the climate change and animal conservation agenda currently being pushed under emotional way. I have spent many years proving that conditions in the natural world are Not as bad as Attenborough and WWF insist and therefore do not guarantee extreme ‘solutions’ as proposed by King Charles, WEF, and many who will attend COP 27. I will continue to fight the utopia. this.

World Wildlife Fund, also known as World Wildlife Fund for Nature

WWF was founded in 1961 by entrepreneurs as a way to help raise money for the newly formed International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which was struggling financially on its mission to preserve protect endangered species. WWF has set up a shop at IUCN headquarters in Switzerland, tying the two together with money. Because it aims to attract wealthy benefactors – many of whom have a passion for hunting in Africa – WWF has not condemned the hunting. It eventually imposed restrictions on hunting in 1965 but only to WWF holders, on land “dedicated to prosperity with WWF money”. Hunting in general or even hunting for special trophies is never recommended.[i]

Prince Bernhard, consort of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands was the first senior president of WWF International, while Prince Philip, consort of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, became WWF-King. Great Britain. In European royal tradition, both were great game hunters and there was considerable controversy about doing so in the early 1960s while promoting the new conservation organization WWF. Both eventually stopped hunting abroad although they continued to hunt in Europe.[ii]

WWF had lofty goals from the start but it took a while to accumulate the necessary funding to really make a difference. Its first major grant was $38,000 to the Smithsonian Institution in 1973 to study tiger populations in Nepal.[iii] Over the years, WWF has become very effective in fundraising and lobbying for conservation activities.[iv] By 2010, it was an extremely wealthy and successful business: it had offices in 82 countries, more than 5,000 employees, and total operating revenues of €524,963,000 (equivalent to just under $3/4 billion). dollars at the time).[v]

WWF’s first project in promoting the concept of human-caused global warming and its impending disaster appears to have taken place in 1999, when the organization established the ‘Climate Savers’ program. ‘ partnering with corporations to help them reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.[vi] In 2004, they developed a program that encouraged the public to describe how they had experienced the effects of human-caused climate change, who they called ‘climate witnesses’. Although such stories are not verified and therefore cannot be considered facts or evidence, a ‘Climate Witness Scientific Advisory Board’ of experts has been established. The job of these experts is to stamp quasi-scientific credentials for stories of climate misery.[vii] Do they match the expected impacts of climate change? The approved anecdotes were subsequently published as a ‘Climate Witness Fact Sheet’ which can be downloaded from the WWF website.

These early ventures into the climate change narrative seem to have been the impetus for WWF to begin positioning and promoting itself as a credible scientific authority on topics related to conservation and protection. environment (as it did with the UK House of Commons in 2014), not merely a fundraiser whose role is to help other organizations save species and habitats.[viii] For more than a decade, it has been rich enough to hire people with degrees in conservation biology – who we are encouraged to consider unbiased scientists rather than college-educated activists – and funding research projects that we are encouraged to consider unbiased for scientific research rather than assignments in circular reasoning.[ix]

The nature of the organization means that all employees and associates have a distorted view of the world and an agenda that must be served, which tends to skew any research before it’s done. can start.[x] Since 1998, WWF has produced a ‘Living Planet Report’ on the state of the planet, based on studies of questionable validity and interpreted through the distinctive lens of WWF advocacy. Clearly, though, that wasn’t impactful enough – the organization eventually branched out into high-value climate change documentaries in 2015 where misinterpretations of the science of they can be turned into high-definition commercial information sold as educational entertainment – that’s where Attenborough and the story of the Pacific walrus were born.[xi]

Before that, however, WWF had been assisting small cash-poor communities across the Arctic (including Russia, Greenland, Canada and Alaska) to protect themselves from polar bear attacks. Polar bear problems across the Arctic have become increasingly common after the turn of the 21st century as polar bear populations continue to grow after they received international protection from over-hunting. in 1973.[xii] However, the amount of cash invested in these programs is very small when considered compared to the huge wealth of the organization. For example, in 2020, WWF-Russia finally – after more than a decade of ‘cooperation’ – supported the purchase of an ATV and a sleigh for the village of Ryrkaipiy in Chukotka, where there have been problems with bears at least since 2006; In other regions, WWF trains and pays meagerly a few polar bear guards, who are certainly happy to have any cash for a few months (live like they do in other economies). economy rarely has the opportunity to make money).[xiii]

At the same time, WWF exploits these occasions to educate local residents and their children about WWF’s current view of the world, giving them loyal local contacts that they have. can be relied on for information and logistical support. Most importantly, however, these WWF programs are widely promoted to the public as ‘good works’: often, journalists are persuaded to write about these useful programmes, giving hold important free publicity.[xiv] On balance, the PR value of these Arctic programs – in terms of the increased WWF donations they generate – is almost certainly much greater than the cost of running them, which is a One of the reasons why organizations are rich.

David Attenborough has had a long association with WWF in the UK. WWF-United Kingdom is the first organization Nation organization was established after WWF-International was formed. In 1961, Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II) served as its first president, from 1961 to 1982, a role his son Prince Charles assumed in 2011. Notably, Prince Philip withdrew his support for the organization. WWF began an active campaign against global warming, even as his son Charles became a more fervent supporter.[xv] Attenborough has never had such an epiphany: he joined WWF-United Kingdom with the royal family in the early 1960s and has served as the official WWF ‘Ambassador’ since at least June 2015 .[xvi]

Attenborough has always taken WWF seriously – even after it turned from an IUCN conservation fundraiser into a multi-billion dollar corporation demanding millions of dollars in annual donations just to cover operating costs and lobbying activities. Not a scientist himself and therefore able to understand better, he trusts the scientific body of WWF: if they say that a sixth Great Extinction is imminent or the operation is unsustainable Humans are pushing the natural systems of the planet that support life on Earth to the brink, he not only believes them, but enthusiastically spreads the message.[xvii] It is therefore not surprising that Attenborough views a business deal to make a documentary with WWF as a great opportunity.
