Lord Monckton Warns of Global Climate Change Treaty
Loss of US Soverignty Looms
It is odder still that Lord Monckton should be in the United States, warning of the potential loss of liberty that would be involved in the Global Climate Change Treaty now being negotiated in Copenhagen, due to be signed in December. And yet Lord Monckton did just that, speaking at length and in scathing tones at an event held by the Minnesota Free Market Institute at Bethel University in St. Paul.
"I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word 'government' actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, 'climate debt' - because we've been burning CO2 and they haven't. We've been screwing up the climate and they haven't. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement."
Of course this "government" which is short hand for an international enforcement authority would not be actually elected by the people who would be required to live under its dictates. No doubt taxes would have to be raised in countries that would be compelled to pay environmental reparations to the Third World. The enforcement authority or "government" would also have the power to regulate energy policy in the countries that sign the treaty.
Lord Monckton gave a detailed analysis of the claim the human made carbon emissions are causing a rise in the Earth's temperature and then demolished it utterly. Of course the basis of climate change treaties or cap and trade laws is not to actually alleviate a real problem. The made up problem of global warming is an excuse for governments to expand their power and to exert more and more control over ordinary people.
While the Global Climate Change Treaty has not been finalized, it is clear what direction it is headed. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suggested that the world has "only fifty days" to solve the problem of global warming. With that kind of hysterical rhetoric, one can only imagine what sort of measures would be thought to be permissible.
Still, if any kind of treaty arrives at the United States Senate with the kind of provisions that Lord Monckton warns of, it is inconceivable that the Senate would be disposed to ratify it. President Obama may decide to try to enforce the treaty anyway, perhaps passing a statute that would require only a simple majority rather than two thirds required to ratify a treaty. That kind of maneuver would contravene the Constitution, but then what is an old document drawn up by 18th Century white men have to do with the imperative to remake the world in the 21st Century?

Post a Commenthahah Lord Monckton rap battles Al Gore - MUST WATCH loll
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBzR0-j0O0o
a serious message in there too, which is great btw
We the people of the US must stand up and stop this B.S. before it's too late
Good article with an interesting viewpoint. Just a small point - what is "Soverignty"? Surely you mean
Sovereignty? (Webster)
And what is with the weird coding that takes out apostraphes?
Global warming isn%27t really the issue here. This treaty does nothing to solve the problem. It simply says that the rich countries of the world must pay the poor countries of the world to %22adapt.%22 Uh-huh. What some of you are saying to me is that you are willing to turn your money over to foreign countries to adapt...to what%3F Take all the measures to reduce our carbon emissions that you want - but don%27t place the U.S. in a treaty that limits our sovereignty. In case you are curious...the treaty calls for .7 percent of the GDP to be given to these countries to pay for damages that haven%27t happened yet. That%27s a lot of money. Congress would have to be made up a bunch of idiots if they ratified this treaty...
Thanks for the informative article.
The best way to get a favorable outcome for the United States at Copenhagen while still curbing carbon emissions is to pass our own legislation here. The US Senate can act to get a carbon cap passed in the US, giving us the political capital to lead the world on this issue and help craft the terms of the agreement. Since the science overwhelmingly supports the need for a global agreement (I'll provide a fun link for those of you that balk at the science; http://globalchange.gov), I believe we should go into Copenhagen with the best position possible. Also, while Lord Monckton is worrying about an infringement of US liberties, wouldn't it be nice to break our dependence on foreign oil? We could diversify our energy portfolio and make our own renewable energy right here at home, which would create US jobs and give us more control over prices (rather than OPEC, wouldn't that be nice). That sounds like a good liberty to have to me. I'd rather not have our government and our people be

So DDT causes cancer... I'm sure you can back that up. And I don't mean those lab tests where they fed rats nothing but DDT for 3 weeks.
Rachel Caarson's efforts to ban DDT worldwide resulted in millions of deaths from malaria. She might just as well have put a gun to their heads and pulled the trigger.
And Al Gore was her student.
In that talk, Monckton isn't arguing science, he's arguing the basic fact that signing their treaty will turn over this country to somebody else.
"And the sea level will rise to up to a meter in the next hundred years not 2 inches.."
Actually, the "2 inches" is a bit of an exaggeration.
Lord Monckton isn't a scientist? The last time I checked, I don't believe Al Gore is either. This global warming crap is a racket fueled by money. The people who buy into this deserve what they get, but I'll pass.
