It’s funny how people who benefit heavily from a modern lifestyle, made possible in part by fossil fuels, want to roll back society (for Other People, of course)
Learn from indigenous people to fight climate change, says Swedish aid chief
With generations of experience conserving land and forests, indigenous people’s knowledge about climate change could help inform decisions at next month’s United Nations climate talks, but their environmental wisdom is often ignored.
The head of Sweden’s international development agency said that must change – and climate change negotiators should learn from indigenous people.
“Indigenous people often live and work from forests, land and water in different ways and they use them in a sustainable way because they need to survive,†Carin Jämtin told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“That’s why we must use the knowledge of those who know how to sustainably use nature,†she said during a conference on indigenous land rights in Stockholm this week.
Besides being incredibly patronizing, it’s typical climastupidity. Ms. Jamtin is basically positioning indigenous people as being backwards, back to nature folks living like it’s hundreds of years ago.
But, hey, perhaps they could educate all the Warmist leaders about the hypocrisy of taking tons of fossil fueled trips to places like Bonn, Germany, to complain about Other People using fossil fuels.
