With the recent IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) email leaks, the impending global crises being cited for supporting legislation like “cap and trade” has been proven false. Until this breech, those who dared to stand against it were marginalized. They were called liars and deniers, by people who have a financial stake in global warming and others who may have been actively suppressing the voice of dissenting scientists, without out concern for the fact that the whole scientific process is based on a healthy skepticism without which progress would never be made.

UPDATE: Looks like the UN Climate Chief has a vested interest in man-caused global warming as well.

Regarding carbon credits, there is absolutely no Constitutional mandate for the federal government to create an imaginary product like carbon credits  and then force people and businesses to buy it. The founding fathers fought against punitive taxes and being forced by their government to only buy their products (the Townsend and stamp acts, which were actually much like carbon credits). With the EPA (an unelected agency under the executive branch) unilaterally declaring carbon dioxide a pollutant, thus giving it the power to write regulations in effect legislating on the production of carbon dioxide. This is a gross unconstitutional  usurpation of the powers of congress. According to the Constitution, only the congress has the power to legislate. It also violates the separation of powers, no portion of the executive branch has Constitutional authority to write legislation. The separation of powers was intended to prevent any one branch of the Federal government from becoming too powerful. The founders did not want a king or tyrant, which was why they divided the powers among three competing branches of government (legislative, executive and judicial).

From BusinessGreen.com:

However, the recently proposed Waxman-Markey climate change bill faces staunch opposition from Republicans and some Democrats, and the endangerment finding gives the EPA the freedom to act swiftly to regulate emissions from power plants and other heavy-emitting facilities without seeking approval from Congress.

This is nothing less than circumventing the Constitutional authority of Congress by the executive branch to get what it wants. The EPA does not have this freedom, nor can an executive office give itself additional powers.

Not only is “cap and trade” unconstitutional, but it would only serve to further depress an economy already in crises. People cannot afford for energy prices to sky rocket. Business are already having trouble maintaining their work forces, when their fixed overhead costs explode, how many more business closings and job losses will be added? Will it make 10% unemployment look good? The people are facing a recession and we do not want harsh new regulations based on junk science to increase the cost of living and accelerate the loss of jobs already occurring.

The United Nations, like Al Gore and the IPCC have plenty to gain from uncritically promoting AGW. Through their Agenda 21, they press nations to cede more of their people’s wealth and sovereignty to the UN through what can only be interpreted as global taxes. Consider this exert from Agenda 21′s preamble:

1.4. The developmental and environmental objectives of Agenda 21 will require a substantial flow of new and additional financial resources to developing countries, in order to cover the incremental costs for the actions they have to undertake to deal with global environmental problems and to accelerate sustainable development. Financial resources are also required for strengthening the capacity of international institutions for the implementation of Agenda 21. An indicative order-of-magnitude assessment of costs is included in each of the programme areas. This assessment will need to be examined and refined by the relevant implementing agencies and organizations.

It is possible to deduce at least 2 new global taxes and an increase in the “dues” member nations already pay, but even that is not the worst aspect, though it effectively creates taxation without representation, and would put the UN and its subsidiaries in control of vast swaths of American society and capital. creating a basic global government with the power to control domestic affairs and collect taxes.  This treaty has been around since 1992, but is of concern now since we have a congress and president who both very likely support its “green” globalist agenda. It has been inactive in the senate, since being referred to the CFR (the Committee on Foreign Relations) in 1993.

These four senators cosponsored it:

Sen Chafee, John H. [RI] – 3/24/1993
Sen Jeffords, James M. [VT] – 9/9/1993
Sen Kerry, John F. [MA] – 3/24/1993
Sen Wellstone, Paul D. [MN] – 3/24/1993

It will be important to watch for this legislation to surface. Treaties require senate approval, and it has NOT yet been approved. Any senator who votes for Agenda 21 is voting for nothing less than the transfer of our wealth, rights and sovereignty to an unaccountable and corrupt international body that does not have the interests of America at heart (But guess who pays most of the bills?)

CNBC glosses right passed the assertion that a world government would arise from the ashes of such a crisis as if it is common knowledge- when not so long ago few would give legitimacy to one who warned of such a possibility. The mechanism (Agenda 21) is waiting for a trigger that will force the US to accept it. The US government, with its exploding deficit is racing towards that trigger of a global currency crises. When it becomes clear that the US will be unable to honor its debt, that is when the panic will start. That triggers a sell off (comparable to a major scandal at a company traded on the stock market) with all owners rushing to cash in their stock (T-Bills, Bonds, etc) at the least amount of loss, thus creating a global currency crises.

Unsustainable deficit spending must be stopped immediately. The activist’s fight against unconstitutional deficit spending and sovereignty eroding globalism I have been waging is a fight I am proud to carry on.
