Jacob Nordangård, “The Capture of Academia – The Case of Climate Change”

Hello! In this talk I will present how the theory of anthropogenic global warming, or human-caused climate change, became anchored as the main cause of climatic changes in the scientific community.

It is mainly based on the findings from my doctoral thesis Order Up The Political History of Biofuels in the European Union.

and my books Rockefeller controlling the game, the global coup d'etat and the digital world

brain.

When I first started my investigation during my PhD studies in 2009 I began with exploring key events in the development of a global warming theory as outlined in the 1996 book The New Geopolitics of Energy by John Mitchell.

I then proceeded to study the key actors in these forums.

This included the organizers and builders of the infrastructure through which the messages had been spread, as well as the climate scientists who were given a platform.

I then traced these various actors to see what linked them together in terms of affiliations, funding and ideology.

This gave a clear and at the time surprising picture.

In the center I found the Rockefeller Philanthropic Network, heavily involved in every step of the climate agenda since the 1950s.

This was particularly noteworthy because their financial power stemmed from John D. Rockefeller's oil fortune from the Standard Oil Empire.

Their network comprises a large number of foundations, universities, research institutes, think tanks, journals and international organizations capable of driving global change.

In the center of this network we find Rockefeller Foundation, A philanthropic organization founded by John D. Rockefeller and his son in 1913 with a mission to promote the well-being of humanity throughout the world.

And the Biomedical Research Institute Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research founded by John D. Rockefeller Sr. and Frederick T.

Gates in 1901 with a mission to produce science for the benefit of humanity.

And last the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, founded in 1940 by the five sons of John D. Rockefeller Jr. with a mission to advance social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable and peaceful global community.

In 2005, Rockefeller Brothers Fund proclaimed, The warming of the climate is no longer merely or primarily an environmental issue.

It is an energy issue, a business issue, an investor issue, a moral issue, a security issue.

An agricultural issue.

A coastal issue.

A religious issue.

An urban issue.

In short, a global issue that touches every conceivable facet of human existence.

It is a matter of universal concern that cuts across party lines, religious affiliations, class divisions and demographic distinctions.

Therein lies our current opportunity.
