Now it’s time to look at “the granddaddy of them all”—the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This organization is “the voice of the UN for the environment.” It’s stated objectives are the following:
(1). Recommending policies for the environment. (2). Gathering and disseminating environmental information. (3). Catalyzing action to address major environmental threats among governments, the private sector, and civil society. (4). Developing international laws for the environment. (5). Developing international environmental agreements and legal instruments. (6). Integrating economic development and environmental protection.
UNEP’s design is to dictate environmental and economic policy to the international community. Before we give an organization that kind of power over the United States economy, we should know who these people are.
There are 58 countries in the governing council of UNEP. Roughly 90% of those countries are politically unfriendly to the United States. There have been four Executive Directors of UNEP since the early 70’s. They are from Egypt, Canada, and Germany respectively. Which of those countries has the best interests of the United State at heart when discussing economic policy?
UNEP’s agenda is far more political than scientific. That is obvious from the formal education of its leaders. One of the early Executive Directors (Mostafa Tolba) was the only true scientist ever to serve in that capacity.
He was replaced by Elizabeth Dowdeswell (Canada). She had a Masters Degree in Behavioral Sciences and an undergraduate degree in Home Economics. This woman had no training whatever qualifying her to lead the world in environmental policy.
She was followed by Klaus Topfer (Germany). He was behind the scenes in developing the Kyoto Protocol. That is interesting when you consider that Mr. Topfer has a Phd in economics. You may remember that the United States Senate voted the Kyoto Protocol down by a 95-0 vote stating it would cause “serious harm to the economy of the United States.” Why would a man with a graduate degree in economics design an environmental policy that would cripple the United States? Did he not know what he was doing? Were all 95 U.S. Senators completely wrong? No! The 95 Senators were not wrong, and Mr. Topfer knew exactly what he was doing.
The political, anti-United States agenda of UNEP is embarrassingly transparent. America does not need our enemies dictating our economic policies. If we need to adjust some things to help the environment, then so be it. But let’s entrust the task of developing that plan to men and women whose expertise is impeccable and whose devotion to the United States is unquestioned.

(1). Recommending policies for the environment that are designed to harm the United States and its alies.
(2). Gathering and disseminating environmental disinformation.
(3). Catalyzing action to address major environmental threats among governments, the private sector, and civil society in such a way as to do as much harm to the United States as possible.
(4). Developing international laws for the environment that will impede the interest of the United States and favor the enemies of the united States.
(5). Developing international environmental agreements and legal instruments that will impede the interest of the United States and favor the enemies of the united States.
(6). Integrating economic development and environmental protection in such a way as to impede the interest of the United States and favor the enemies of the united States.
So true b/c you know had we reupped this ding dang thing (ty Bush did not) the only country that would have followed it/ and been hurt by it would have been the US
If I remember right Tony Blair and John Howard decided not to follow because of the adverse impacts on their economies.
