NewsBuster Noel Sheppard reported on the global climate meetings in Bali, particularly the letter sent to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon by a number of prominent scientists stating that the global warming hysteria was overblown. Now comes an attempt by US Senator James Inhofe to warn about the true goals of this movement.
Inhofe is a tireless crusader for truth in advertising where the global warming hysteria crowd is concerned. On the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works site he maintains the Inhofe EPW blog, wherein he and his staff update the hysteria of the global warming crowd. Today, blogger Marc Morano has posted a news release on the website exposing the real goals of the global warming crowd. The question is- will the so-called mainstream media actually report on this? Based on past experience, I would guess not.
According to the press release, the real goal of the global warming crowd is the imposition of world taxes- especially on the United States. Morano quotes 'global tax advocate' Othmar Schwank, of an organization called the Mauch Consulting Group.
“Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs,” Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, told Inhofe EPW Press Blog following the panel discussion titled “A Global CO2 Tax.” Schwank is a consultant with the Switzerland based Mauch Consulting firm Schwank said at least “$10-$40 billion dollars per year” could be generated by the tax, and wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the “polluters pay principle.” The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to “contribute significantly more to this global fund,” Schwank explained. He also added, “It is very essential to tax coal.”
In other words, in the manner of hypocritical power grabbers the world over, the method in which they gain the purse strings is less important than the results of gaining control of said purse strings. Morano continues by the eyes by quoting yet another advocate, one Emma Brindal.
The environmental group Friends of the Earth, in attendance in Bali, also advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations on Wednesday. “A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,” said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.
So there we have it. I think a more honest name for Brindal's group would be Friends of Taxing the US to Give Money to the Unaccountable UN. The real goal of all these so-called climate change advocates is the taxation of rich nations so that they can transfer money to poor nations- socialism in action. This is highlighted by the concerns Inhofe's blog also states. Morano quotes several skeptics of global warming, such as Professor Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Writes Morano,
MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen warned about these types of carbon regulations earlier this year. "Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life," Lindzen said in March 2007. In addition, many critics have often charged that proposed tax and regulatory “solutions” were more important to the promoters of man-made climate fears than the accuracy of their science.
This is exactly right. The goal of the bureaucrats and activists is to give the UN real taxation powers, and then to tie the United States into this anti-American organization so that the rest of the world can take advantage of US innovations and power without that annoying necessity of consulting the American people. This is an attack on US sovereignty. Will the press take notice? They are certainly up in arms over the US government's attempts to defend American from Muslim terrorists. will they be as alarmed about the international attempt to use global warming to steal sovereignty from American voters? I wish I could be optimistic about the possibility that any member of the national press corps will actually write in a negative manner about this attempt. Instead of defending their country against unaccountable bureaucrats and 'activists', it seems to this writer that they are too busy trying to elect a President who will assist in the process of giving away US sovereignty.

Can we deport...errr...I mean export Algore, aka manbearpig?
We are already transfering a great amount of wealth to Chinga and India. We are transfering a huge amount of wealth the OPEC nations..what more can we do?
If they aren’t using the money wisely..well then maybe we should stop sending it and just take the oil we need.
The Saudi’s should have been invaded as a result of 911.
Then we would control our own oil supply. Instead we are allowing to buy influence and spread muslim filth everywhere.
Ah, ha! Where I come from, this is called socialism.
That’s Right, the U.S. Democrat Party COMMITMENT to the
UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS.
OR
U.N. Inter-NAZI’s
Welcome to Socialist HELL brought to you by a perverted, corrupt, deranged leftmedia and their Democrat puppets...
The first thing to do is to get rid of the UN.
"Algore, where an ordinary gallon of gasoline costs 800,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds."
The attitude of the leftist environmentalists is...who cares if it’s not true, the ends justify the means of a world Gubmint, protecting the trees and carribou and a Socialist Utopia.
It’s working because people are too stupid to read anything besides what is spoon fed to them by the MSM.
Thanks for posting.
Straight out the Communist Party strategy handbook - When you tell a lie, make it a BIG lie and repeat it like a mantra...the little people will then believe it no matter - aka: The Emperor's New Suit Syndrome
BUMP!
That wouldn't be a beige pants suit... would it?
BTTT
Founded on the Big Lie, the modern environmental movement represents a greater threat to freedom and liberty than Communism. The end results are identical, but disguised with the modern environmental movement. The modern greenies are like watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside.
