Sharecroppers to Undeveloped CountriesPosted Sunday, October 25, 2009, at 5:37 PM
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/treaty1...
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. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |
I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.
Hot topics Mayfield? Here's my thought.(5 ~ 10:39 AM, Aug 18)

And how short of a hop would it be from Denmark to Norway?
I don't trust any of this.
But y'all would EXPECT that from the old "Bazookaman!"

This is a little off track, sorry Kim. But, most news entities don't normally go against the grain, per say. Well, the AP did today. Finally, someone has the kahunas to write some truth.
This is a good article that the AP put out. I was a little surprised to see this in the print.

It works on the regular BBox.

Thank you Midea: I did go read it and I will be looking at a few more sources before I comment. It was a great catch. Thanks so much for sharing it with me.
Mr. Dave Thompson, thank you for your link. I have read it and I will also be checking some more information. I will agree that there are some good things there and creating jobs and training for the future is certainly a great thing. I will comment on this more later after I have read some more. Thanks again.

Probably OUR fault somehow.
What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Dave Thompson? I am sorry that these people are eating dirt. I could spend every day for a week reading about the poor and still not see it all. My heart goes out to all people who suffer. I have always done my part to help and I have no need to list it. I was raised to lend a helping hand wherever I can but I also was taught that charity does begin at home first. We don't have the resources and money to be the heroes of every nation. We need to focus on our own neighbors, our country's problems. Throw all your links up, if you want. I have to focus on here and what we are doing to protect the future of freedom now. If we were the champions of all the poor, then we would be off endlessly chasing that tiger while the country we live in falls wasted around us. Focus on our country and the needs of our people. Pray for the blight of other countries. Hope that their country's people will find a solution. We must clean house at home first before we can lend a hand to them. Sorry, but it is the priority. (Time: 8:11am, at home, not at work until later)
I've often thought that we could get Sally Struthers to go into our ghettos and make some of those tearful commercials she used to do............and show THEM overseas. Maybe some of those countries WE rebuilt after the wars, who are now economically helping to bankrupt US....might chip in a few Francs, Deutschmarks or Yen to help US!
.......and if you believe THAT................
"If I am not for myself, who will be? And when I am for myself, what am 'I'? And if not now, when?"
Hmmmmm.........another White House press Conference, eh?
Sorry buddy, that just sounds like something Gibbs might say!
Or something Hillel the Elder would say. BNut I could be wrong.
