Geoengineering Governance over the Arctic, as target of Globalism! Russia must resist and fight!

This article is in early development! The citations alone are worth sharing!

Dear readers,

I am amazed how such literate and educated people like Olaf Corry can be so deeply caught in the belief of globalism. How is it possible to be so deeply brainwashed and have a such high position in education institutions? Is it only the money that drives these people?

He will definitely fail The Great Intelligence Test, as he is programmed to fail deadly.

But first let us learn who he is:

School of Politics and International Studies
Profile of Prof Olaf Corry
https://essl.leeds.ac.uk/politics/staff/1330/prof-olaf-corry

Position: Prof of Global Security Challenges
Areas of expertise: International politics of climate change; Politics of geoengineering (‘climate engineering’); Emerging technologies and security politics; Global governance and social movements; International Theory

"Olaf Corry is Professor of Global Security Challenges. He teaches International Politics, Security Studies and International Relations and the Environment, and is currently researching the international politics of climate geoengineering technologies (geoengineering).

Olaf came from a position as Associate Professor at the Department of Politics at the University of Copenhagen. There he taught International Relations as well as on the MSc in Security Risk Mangement. Before that he was Lecturer at the Open University where he co-authored and edited an award-winning textbook and online body of material for undergraduate International Relations students, and chaired the International Studies degree program. Prior to that he was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge where he taught Security Studies, International Relations and methods, and researched the political sociology of risk and climate change.

He gained his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen with a thesis theorising and studying the formation of a global polity through expert economic knowledge and its contestations. Immediately after his Ph.D. Olaf worked as an advisor and speech writer for the main opposition party in the Danish parliament. He has published widely in diverse journals such as Review of International Studies, Global Environmental Change, International Relations, Globalizations, Millennium, Environment and Planning E, Political Studies and Sociology. His book 'Constructing a Global Polity: Theory, Discourse and Governance' argues that objects of governance (e.g. ‘the climate’) structure the international system."

I offer here an excerpt from a paper of Olaf Corry, where he formulates the agenda of Globalism based on taking over the Arctic and the climate as objects of global governance.

Globalists are interested in the Artic because of its important role on the global climate and therefore a key role in climate control, which is called climate engineering or just geoengineering by the globalists like Olaf Corry.

"Governance-Objects and Polities

The infrastructure that allows measurement, tracking, and ultimately governance of the climate has delivered, as Paul N. Edwards (2010, p. 8) puts it:

not only specifics about the past and likely future of the Earth’s climate, but also the very idea of a planetary climate as something that can be observed, understood, affected by human wastes, debated in political processes, cared about by the general public, and conceivably managed by deliberate interventions such as reforestation or gigantic Earth-orbiting sunshades.

Edwards charts how layer upon layer of initially fragmented weather monitoring technology, bodies of knowledge, and networks in the end produced global climate models and facilitated global institutions. Together, this ‘vast machine’ of apparatus such as satellites, measuring stations, models, databanks, observatories, academic disciplines, and intergovernmental organisations rendered climate change an object of political and technocratic governance, which ‘helped to create global institutions and ways of thinking globally’, something Edwards labels ‘infrastructural globalism’ (Edwards 2010, p. xviii)."

"Some of the impetus for designing the vast climate machine was originally military: Cold War rivalries led to the intense space race and charting of weather patterns and deep-sea topographies. Early city-state rulers in Florence instigated rudimentary weather monitoring in order to gain advantages in agriculture as well as on the battlefield, which eventually led to the discipline of meteorology and eventually climatology."

"Geoengineering

Geoengineering is usually defined as large-scale and deliberate interventions in the climate system with the aim of reducing global warming (The Royal Society 2009) and can be thought of in two broad categories: solar radiation management (SRM), which works by reducing incoming sunlight, and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, which aim to remove or ‘reverse’ emissions.

Research and plans for geoengineering remain mainly at the pre-field test stage and exist primarily as a ‘sociotechnical imaginary’, that is as ‘collectively imagined forms of social life and social order reflected in the design and fulfillment of […] scientific and/ or technological projects’ (Jasanoff and Kim 2009, p. 120).

The visions engendered are therefore of potential consequence, not just because they may one day be implemented but also because they have effects in themselves, including, I argue, by helping to constitute the climate as a directly governable entity in certain ways.

While not a new idea (Marchetti 1977), climate engineering was until recently largely taboo and has been resisted by many scientists and policy-makers, partly due to the risks (Robock 2008) and fears that merely contemplating such methods might undermine already faltering efforts to mitigate global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (The Royal Society 2009).

The idea, however, has been gaining serious momentum, particularly during the last decade. Nobel laureate in chemistry Paul Crutzen (2006) is widely regarded as having opened the current debate with an editorial recommending research into SRM in 2006.

A meeting of leading scientists at Harvard in 2007 broke more ice in the scientific community considering options to cool the atmosphere directly or use technologies to reduce carbon dioxide concentrations (Kintisch 2010, pp. 4–5).

In 2009, a landmark Royal Society report was published explicitly rejecting the taboo on the grounds that without further research, potentially beneficial options might be ignored and bad proposals may be taken forward untested. The report recommended carefully governed research in the event that a climate emergency does develop that requires immediate or extraordinary interventions in the future (The Royal Society 2009).

In 2015, the US National Research Council published a two-volume report on the two major types of climate engineering: SRM and CDR (National Research Council 2015). It warned of serious risks and shortcomings but also endorsed further research."

"Conclusion 

This chapter has tried to depart from usual IR (International Relations) approaches that take particular actors or institutions as their point of departure, and instead foreground objects of governance. It has argued that besides the physical opening up of the Arctic, the Arctic is being rendered governable in new ways. This has a number of implications for the Arctic as a globally embedded space.

While increasingly seen as distinct, malleable, and politically salient, the Arctic climate is being cast as a global governance-object where the rationale of government has not directly to do with improving the Arctic itself, but rather pursuing other ‘global’ goals and aims.

Being part of a global polity like this means that the Arctic becomes a potential target of a wider range of actors than just those geographically close by. States and other groups physically remote from the Arctic feel emboldened to claim their stake in the Arctic. This takes the Arctic centre stage of politics while simultaneously marginalising the political aspects of it. It shifts the gaze of analysts and actors away from specific interests and localities of political action to an abstract ‘global’ perspective.

The situated and present-day politics of Arctic geoengineering thus easily become blurred by the grand sweep of globality, species-agency, planetary aggregation of problems, and epochal geological time frames. In a nutshell, there is a danger that the slogan ‘think globally, act locally’ has a darker incarnation as a technocratic obfuscation of particularistic interests legitimising interventions in somebody else’s locality. In this chapter, examining how the Arctic is being rendered governable in this way has aimed to highlight the globalist presumptions of geoengineering and bring into focus how technological research and scientific debates about (Arctic) geoengineering are an integral part of a political process, rather than a politically innocent research agenda.

Treated as a distinct entity that can meaningfully be spoken about and potentially operated on (objectified), the Arctic climate potentially becomes more amenable to governance and orderings. The more it is constructed as potentially governable, and the more tools that are developed that are supposed to allow manipulation, the more facilitating conditions there are for actors to make governance-claims and take up subject-positions in relation to the Arctic.

In that sense, research and debate about geoengineering the Arctic are not only an ‘insurance policy’ but also politically constitutive: effectively an envisioning of future orders and relationships—between ice, sea, people and climate, and between Arctic and global politics. 

This absorption of the Arctic in global politics may ultimately also have implications in terms of institutions. Just as infrastructural globalism such as meteorology and climate science has led to the construction of the World Meteorological Organisation, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and IPCC, so building the conceptual and physical structures for geoengineering could provide an occasion to create or adapt institutions for governing it.

Calls for the Arctic Council to take it upon itself to oversee the geoengineering of the Arctic, and other proposals for governance-structures for geoengineering are signs of this tendency. Once an entity like the Arctic climate enters the political sphere as a target of operations, plans can begin to be made for its governance, inevitably in line with specific interests. Clarity about whose specific interests are to be prioritised should therefore accompany debates about Arctic geoengineering, irrespective of how ‘global’ the rationale is claimed to be."

Corry declares the WMO, UNFCCC, IPCC and Artic Council as the foundations of a independent Geoengineering Governance framework, which is independent of and ruling over the state governments.

This paper alone is like a declaration of war against Russia, as most part of the Arctic is claimed as Russian state territory. A resistance from Canada, as a de facto protectorate of the global oligarchy, is not expected, so it can be ignored. The other countries of Scandinavia don't count either, as they are submitted under the NATO and the USA.

Whatever is planned for Geoengineering, it shatters at the claws of Russian bear. Therefore ...

US imperial military campaign against Russia is inevitable! Europe serves as a deployment and front area and source of cannon fodder!

Climate geoengineering is deeply political, military and has a global dangerous impact. It is impossible to "marginalize the political aspects" of the Arctic. The Arctic climate cannot be "cast as a global governance-object". These dreams of the globalists have to trigger resistance and if attacked, full out war by Russia.
