NGO Says "Climate Change" To Blame For Increase In Child Marriages
The author claims the climate change industry generates significant revenue, with "Climate Justice" being a new, lucrative agenda. This agenda, according to the author, merges global warming and social justice claims to attack Western economies and free-market enterprise. The narrative suggests Western wealth is built on the suffering of developing nations, and dismantling Western economies is the ultimate goal. Plan International, an NGO focused on children's rights, is highlighted as an example. The article criticizes Plan International's report linking climate change to increased child marriages and violence against women in developing countries. It suggests this link is a stretch and part of a larger narrative blaming the West for global issues. Plan International's policy briefs call for developed countries to increase emissions reductions and climate finance. The author asserts there is no concrete evidence in support of global warming theory or its link to human industry. Historical climate data shows fluctuations unrelated to human carbon emissions. The author dismisses the idea that Western economies impact the suffering in the third world. Child marriage is presented as an age-old practice, with the West having contributed to its decline. The article urges caution regarding NGOs and their agendas, suggesting their true intentions may be hidden.
