WSJ: Has Anyone Read the Copenhagen Agreement?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Going by Janet Albrechtsen's opinion piece in the WSJ, to say that the UN plans for "a new government" are scary, is to understate the seriousness of what we face if the world leaders come to agreement based on the draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty.

We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen come December. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises. Draft text, you say? If you haven't heard about it, that's because none of our otherwise talkative political leaders have bothered to tell us what the drafters have already cobbled together for leaders to consider. And neither have the media.

Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change--a rough draft of what could be signed come December.

So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.

The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.

Read it all, and be very much afraid of what's going on in Copenhagen.

Here's the must-watch, must-listen to, video of Lord Christopher Monckton's address on October 14th, 2009 at a climate skeptic event sponsored by the Minnesota Free Marke t Institute.

Excerpt:

You must not believe a word I say, I am not Al Gore. I am not going to tell you what the truth about the climate is; I am simply going to tell you a series of facts from the science, and the data, and the peer-reviewed literature, and I am going to allow you to draw the conclusion for yourselves that there is no (man made) problem with the climate. I am not here to proselytize or preach, I do not expect you to believe me because science is NOT a belief system. Science is a rigorous process of inquiry, and I'm going to work you quite hard tonight - we're going to get through a lot of slides, a lot of data, a lot of facts, and I make no apology for that because I won't to show you just how strong the case is against the pseudo-scientific gibberish which is perpetrated by the UN's Climate Panel and Al Gore (etc.), and I'm going to show you the latest science which doesn't leave the question unsettled anymore; it is now "settled science," (repeat) it is now "settled science" that there is NOT a problem with our influence over the climate.

The science is in, the truth is out, and the scare is OVER.
