Faaaairness and Equaaaaaality!

and, of course, Teh chiiiiildren

A new International Climate Court will have the power to compel Western nations to pay ever-larger sums to third-world countries in the name of making reparation for supposed “climate debt”. The Court will have no power over third-world countries. …

…The new CO2 emissions target, for Western countries only, will be a reduction of up to 50% in emissions over the next eight years and of “more than 100%” [these words actually appear in the text] by 2050.

    Seems to me that 10 years ago, Al Gore was telling us that we’d be under water in 10 years if we didn’t scrap all the coal-fired plants, kill all the cattle, and crush all the SUVs.

    Maybe that asteroid that’s gonna hit us next 21 December will be made entirely of water . . . yeah, that’s gotta be it. The Flood From Outer Space. I mean, the Mayans, the I Ching, the Old Testament, Al Gore . . . they can’t ALL be wrong, can they?

    7billion people on the planet, and only a couple hundred million actually demonstrate some semblance of sentient intelligence.

    If extra-terrestrial intelligence exists, we are the freak-show they take their kids to for laughs.

    I was not aware that the UN was given absolute control and taxation authority over sovereign nations. Silly me, I thought we still had a country here….

    The Constitution of the United States does not allow for this. The eco-tards in Durban can kiss my carbon-producing ass.

    The UN has also promulgated a position on banning all explosives, which by the definition provided would include kitchen matches.

    By contrast, our political elite comes off as made up of geniuses – not otherwise a proposition to be seriously considered.

    Bring your guns, boys. You’ll need them.

    I’d rather bring my baseball bat. It’s more American, and it makes great sounds when it’s breaking bones.

    Whuuuut?

    The UN has become a criminal enterprise
    and should be treated as such.

    UN “peacekeepers” have raped children in Africa and Asia, now they want to come to the West.

    It’s a stupid, stupid game they’re playing. The stupid part being that they think they can win. The doubly stupid part is that if they try, no one will really win, because it will be a bloody horrible mess.

    The UN was never any good at doing what it was supposed to do, unfortunately.

    The UN has also promulgated a position on banning all explosives, which by the definition provided would include kitchen matches.

    If the Gore Green Financial Machine buys up Diamond Match Company, they’ll put little tear-off carbon credit coupons on each box.

    This will make the matches carbon neutral.

    By adding a little of the right copper compound to the match formula, they can cause the match flame to burn green, and declare that it is “Green Energy.”

    This will lead to the UN endorsing matches.

    TimO: see also Act As If

    The Copenhagen Treaty draft establishing a world “government” with unlimited powers of taxation and intervention in the affairs of states parties to the UN Framework Convention fortunately failed. Yet at the Cancun climate conference the following year 1000 new bureaucracies were established to form the nucleus of a world government, with central control in the hands of the Convention’s secretariat and tentacles in every region and nation. The draft “agrees that common principles, modalities and procedures as well as the coordinating and oversight functions of the UNFCCC are needed” – in short, global centralization of political, economic and environmental power in the manicured hands of the Convention’s near-invisible but all-powerful secretariat. No provision is made for the democratic election of key members of the all-powerful secretariat – in effect, a world government – by the peoples of our planet.

    How many nuclear weapons does the UN have?

    Zero?

    Then they can be safely ignored, or spanked if they cause trouble.

    Thanks for posting that Claire.
    Just spent over an hour reading that & WUWT
    & other related stuff. A lot to think about, now
    & more in the future. Kinda ‘wake up call’!

    My 1st response is that this is less about AGW
    and all other ‘climate disaster’ lies & propaganda,
    than it is about leftist, fascist, Marxist, Islamist, etc.
    takeover of the developed nations. And using the UN
    to accomplish this, in great part because of our funding.

    My 2nd realization is how much this article ties into all
    the ‘Down with evil America’ & ‘One World Gubbmint’ BS
    from #OWS & the entire rest of millions of brainwashed
    lefties, commies, socialists, etc. This has been brought about
    by several generations of brainwashed students at all levels
    plus aided & abetted by our leftist LSM, etc. And on & on!

    I suspect we are considerably further down the road to
    our demise as a free country than is commonly realized.
