UN climate boss Figueres says US has "historical responsibility" to compensate the world for Arab and African unrest and more to come due to climate

12/5/11, Figueres, ""I really think the … U.S. population needs to understand that this is not just their historical responsibility""...

"The United Nations’ top climate change official said on Tuesday that food shortages and rising prices
  • caused by climate disruptions

were among the chief contributors to the civil unrest coursing

In a speech to Spanish lawmakers and military leaders, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the United Nations climate office, said that
  • climate change-driven drought,
falling crop yields and competition for water were fueling conflict throughout Africa and elsewhere in the developing world. She warned that unless nations took aggressive action to reduce
  • emissions causing global warming
such conflicts would spread, toppling governments and
  • driving up military spending around the world....

“In other words, it will threaten the basic foundation –

  • the very stability on which humanity has built its existence.

In Durban, "Christiana Figueres, the top United Nations diplomat tasked with managing the international climate negotiations process" spoke with Climate Progress:

"“The U.S. is hamstrung. And I wonder how long it’s going to take the U.S. civil society … to realize that climate change is affecting them directly – it’s not just affecting somebody else. I really think the … U.S. population needs to understand that but this is their future that they’re compromising.""...

9/20/10, UN Climate Chief Figueres says Siemens should lobby governments for global warming cash. But Siemens has recently plead guilty to bribery and kickbacks:

Siemens plead guilty to massive bribery and kickbacks and paid a fine of at least $1.6 billion. (Perhaps like BP, Siemens thought by being associated with 'green' causes it would help them down the road.)

"Success at climate-change talks in Mexico may depend on companies such as Siemens AG and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. prodding governments into action,

Companies should lobby governments to recognize the business opportunities that arise from curbing global warming, Figueres today told a group that tracks carbon emissions by the world’s largest companies. Helping developing countries deliver more energy with fewer warming gases represents

  • a “huge opportunity,” she said at a conference in New York."

12/27/10, "Climate Science: the real reason we need to worry," Gordon Fulks, Oregonlive.com

"Among global warming advocates there is occasional candor about their real goals. Christiana Figueres, the new executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, said of the U.N. climate efforts:
  • "This is the greatest societal and economic transformation that the world has ever seen."
Global warming is about politics, not legitimate science. Figueres calls herself a "global climate change analyst." Her formal education in climate science consists of

Al Gore's training program to promote "An Inconvenient Truth.""...
