Flashback: UN Scientist: African Nations Rebelling at ‘measures to use climate change to maintain colonialist master-servant relationship’
Guest essay by Professor Dr. William J.R. Alexander, Emeritus of the Department of Civil and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a former member of the United Nations Scientific and Technical Committee on Natural Disasters. Dr. Alexander is featured on page 181 of the 2009 U.S. Senate Report of More Than 700 Dissenting Scientists on Man-Made Global Warming Claims. The below essay is a reprint of Dr. Alexander’s submission to CCNet’s Benny Peiser.
THE RETURN OF COLONIALISM
By Dr. Will Alexander
There has been mounting resistance of African countries to what they perceive to be measures to use climate change to maintain the colonialist master-servant relationship. They perceive that climate change is intended to suppress the rise to economic competitiveness of the African nations.
Africa is fragmented as a result of historical colonialism. The African countries may find it difficult to speak with one voice but the underlying feeling is very clear. No African country will dare to impose restrictions which they perceive to be limitations on their development imposed by the Western nations.

SUPPRESSION OF THE FACTS
There are two important facts that are deliberately suppressed by climate alarmists. The first is that nearly all African countries are net absorbers of carbon dioxide. This far outweighs their emissions. They should be entitled to financial benefits, not penalties.
The second is within my personal sphere of knowledge. It is the Secretary General’s erroneous statement that if we fail to act, climate change will intensify droughts and floods, and that water shortages will affect hundreds of millions of people. This statement is demonstrably false. Since the establishment of the IPCC in 1988, there has not been a single loss of life in sub continental Africa due to floods that can be provably attributed to climate …
