Sharecroppers to Undeveloped Countries

The Copehagen Treaty was drafted by Greenpeace, WWF, IndyACT -- the League of Independent Activists, Germanwatch, David Suzuki Foundation, National Ecological Centre of Ukraine and expert individuals from around the world. http://www.germanwatch.org/klima/treaty1legal.pdf

Many environmentalist are excited about this new Treaty.

"We have put protection of the climate and therefore the planet and its people at the heart of this Treaty and we should expect and demand no less of our governments," said Martin Kaiser of Greenpeace International. "All that is needed now is political will and the 'cut and paste' feature to produce the agreement the world is waiting for."

After careful reading, I have come to see the Treaty as possibly the first step to the foundation of a new World Government. Crazy, I know. Shocking, not so much. Typical paranoia, I wish. The Treaty is there in black and white for all to read.

The Climate Treaty basically sets up an unelected governing body with the power to fine us 2% of our gross national product each year that we are noncompliant. How to be compliant? We have to lower our carbon emissions to 1990 standards by 2020 and 80% below that by 2050. We have to foot the bill for most of the pricetag so that undeveloped countries can be given the money they need to update their technology and become green. Of course, we also have to pay tremendous amounts of money to change our carbon emissions which will surely bankrupt us. Millions more will lose their jobs as industry has to change to "green-running facilities and greenjobs take over. There is no way that we can afford to do what they want.

This One World Treaty would set up an extensive international bureaucracy to enforce the Treaty. You can't leave the agreement unless every other nation signing agrees. A U.S. government elected in the future could not withdraw from this Treaty, because nations getting our money would not agree to allow our country to pull out. It is like we are sharecroppers, but the crop is any money that we have and the landlords are now the other countries, the poor countries. We will be working to keep them fat and happy. The wording of the Treaty also would supersede our own Constitution, making it irrelevant to the CCF.

What pisses me to no end is that this treaty is based on theory and conjecture over the scientific evidence that global warming will be catastrophic. It is becoming more and more evident by science and environmental facts that the belief of man-made global warming is becoming weaker and weaker by the minute. Only 57% of Americans believe that there is strong evidence that the world has grown warmer in recent decades, down from 71% a year ago, according to a new poll. The climate has always gone through changes. In the 60's the scientist were convinced that we were headed for another ice age. We would all be Eskimos right now if they were right! Yet, using that fear will allow major countries the platform that they need to scare our leaders into compliance.

This is the stuff of science fiction. Luckily, I did find some articles stating that President Obama will not be going to Copenhagen because he wants to accept his Nobel Prize on Dec. 10. Well, it's so good to see him finally getting his priorities straight.
