Green is the New Red:' GBTV Discusses Global Warming and Radical Factions of Environmentalism

The U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development closed Friday in Rio de Janeiro after having brought 100 world leaders and more than 45,000 people to Brazil to discuss reconciling economic and environmental aspirations. While the global summit itself has already cost tens of millions of dollars, world-wide adoption of far-reaching policy to address global warming may end up costing more. Glenn Beck sat down with several authors and analysts during his broadcast Friday who are skeptical of global warming and the effects of policy aimed at advocating green jobs. Twenty years ago the U.N. held the same summit in Rio that would give birth to a renewed enthusiasm in environmentalism and global warming awareness. The panel on GBTV Friday broke down the views and policy advocated by activists coming out of Rio in 1992, and how their predictions have proven to be inconsistent and extremely expensive.

"It is not a present reality, it’s a hoax" said Beck Friday. "The way the media talks about global warming is ridiculous.

"We know this from the science out in the open," Beck said in reference to "climate-gate," the hacked email account scandal in November 2009 that exposed American and British climate researchers emailing one another about the manipulation of data to support the view that climate change is caused by humans. The authors of some of the emails said skeptics took their messages out of context.

"Green is the new red," proclaimed Beck Friday. "This agenda is not about the environment. It's an attempt by the Left to hang a smily face on the same statist policies they’ve been pushing for decades."

Glenn's radio co-host Stu Burguiere has been keeping an eye on the global warming enthusiasts since around the time Al Gore launched his gushing green (for the money it made) film "An Inconvenient Truth." During the program Friday, Stu examinand how some of the previous predictions of Gore and renowned climate scientist James Hansen have panned out during a segment called "Stutistics:"

Joined in Dallas by Brian Sussman, author of “Eco-Tyranny: How the Left’s Green Agenda will Dismantle America;” and Chris Horner, author of “Power Grab: How Obama’s Green Policies will Steal your Freedom and Bankrupt America;”  Glenn and Stu discussed with the panel how radical groups of environmentalists do not primarily seek a better environment, but rather use the "green movement" as a means to achieve deep-seated economic and social goals of the Left.

Agenda 21, the U.N. action group aimed at implementing sustainable development policy world-wide, has been discussed by The Blaze before.  The group was present in the 1992 summit and still find their way in United States policy at federal, state and local levels. Agenda 21 policy was a topic for discussion once again at the 2012 Rio conference:
