ocialists Demand Trillions in ‘Climate Debt’Cliff Kincaid
You don’t need to attend the United Nations climate change conference to know what’s really going on.
Ignoring the fallacies behind the “science” of man-made global warming, a new UN report on “climate justice” says the U.S. and other countries owe $24 trillion in “climate debt” to the rest of the world. The report, “Climate Justice for a Changing Planet,” argues that the United States is “historically the largest global emitter” of greenhouse gas emissions and therefore has the biggest “debt” to pay.
But another UN report puts the figure at $45 trillion.
President Obama seems prepared to accept this bogus claim by attending the United Nations conference on December 18th.
The U.S. failure to pay, argues leftist Canadian writer Naomi Klein, has already produced “climate rage” and a “global movement for climate justice” led by Bolivia’s socialist President Evo Morales. The implication is that if the U.S. doesn’t pay up, protests and even violence could break out.
In a statement, the Morales regime declared that “What we call for is full payment of the debt owed to us by developed countries for threatening the integrity of the Earth’s climate system, for over-consuming a shared resource that belongs fairly and equally to all people, and for maintaining lifestyles that continue to threaten the lives and livelihoods of the poor majority of the planet’s population.”
In other words, Americans are supposed to feel guilty over having a successful industrial economy. It is a system that has produced more wealth for more people than any in human history.
A detailed proposal from Bolivia says “a wealthy minority,” presumably in the U.S. and other “rich” nations, “has already over‐consumed a considerable amount of environmental space,” thus “denying it to the poorer majority who needs it in the course of their development.”
Naomi Klein describes the proposed payments as “reparations.”
But as startling as the figure of $24 trillion sounds, a separate report from the UN Environmental Program says the cost could be as high as $45 trillion. It is estimated that “a package to address climate change and energy development needs at the global level may require U.S. $45 trillion up to 2025,” it says.
The March 2009 “Global Green New Deal” report says that the global financial crisis is an opportunity to usher in a new international socialist order. “The rules of financial architecture and of global environmental governance are being simultaneously re-written in 2009,” the report explains. “We believe that there is a unique historical opportunity now to create the basis of a new Green Economy that is able to allocate natural capital and financial capital in a far more effective and efficient manner into the foreseeable future. We must not miss this chance to fundamentally shift the trajectory of human civilization.”
The author of this report was Professor Edward B. Barbier of the University of Wyoming. His “Global Green New Deal” report was prepared in consultation with the U.S. Presidential Climate Action Project, a little-known entity launched by the University of Colorado whose advisory board includes ousted White House communist “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones. World Net Daily highlighted Jones’ role in the group in a November 30th story by Aaron Klein.
Co-authored by Barbara Adams and Gretchen Luchsinger, the most recent United Nations report on “climate justice” says “because the world’s richest countries have contributed most to the problem, they have a greater obligation to take action and to do so more quickly.” Paying a “climate debt” is the way to make sure that “extreme imbalances in development are evened out.”
“China now produces the largest amount of overall national emissions, topping the United States,” the report says. “But this figure must be qualified by the fact that China’s population is four times as large as that of the United States, making its per capita emissions rate roughly 75 percent less.” contin:
The report was launched in conjunction with the U.N. climate change conference now taking place in Copenhagen and is designed for the consideration of policy makers and non-governmental organizations. It is being distributed by the United Nations Non-Governmental Liaison Service.
“Given the escalating pace of global warming,” the report argues, the world “now has to act with far greater urgency…” But change is possible only with “major economic and political rearrangements around the core principles of equity and sustainable development.”
These are euphemisms for destroying private property rights and the free enterprise system and creating a global socialist superstate. contin: http://familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.4971/pub_detail.asp
Socialists can go to......
YOU WILL NOT LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT!
This is the hokey pokey of it - that’s what it’s all about.

Note - It’s an inside job.
McCain was winning until suddenly in September ‘08 we got a “sudden” meltdown in the economy. Obama then walked right in...I was never a birther but am coming to believe we need to see his birth certificate. It’s the only thing which can stop this thing from taking place. They stole the election by making a run on the Fed Reserve - they can do this...
Then we will talking about "real" money.
Well, maybe just "Obama"-dollars.
Not only don’t pay them a nickel,but cut off all foreign assistance to improve our carbon footprint for these ungrateful thieves!
Dear Socialist,
We are already bankrupt and you can’t get blood from a stone.
Love,
The United States of America
P.S. If you are looking for money, maybe Goldman Sachs still has some. You can fight it out with them. We aren’t going to play the game.
But another UN report puts the figure at $45 trillion.

These brilliant international grifters must really believe Obama has a *stash*.
Watch for a new agricultural developmental initiative in the Third World to grow & harvest the *good stuff*. It shall be called Poppies for the People.
Just like that ACORN “investigation.” **rolling eyes**
Oh, I get it. We are going to save the earth earth by giving away out sovereignty, freedom and money. If we give in to this corrupt system we deserve to loose it all.
Who made these laws? Who interprets these laws? Who enforces these laws?
Social justice, economic justice, political justice, environmental justice and now, climate justice! Always the words of socialists/leftists/communists/fascists!
Always what "global warming" was all about.
THE NEW WORLD WIDE COMMUNISM is arrived!
Praise the “Lord”!
A new era is beginning going BACKWARD full speed with obaMAO the UN puppet.
This is so big that some people don’t even reallize...

PREIDENTIAL ACTION ADVISORY PROJECT (PCAP)
On the committee - VAN JONES:
http://www.climateactionproject.com/advisory.php
Its fundamental goals are unchanged from the previous century's incarnation: the acquisition of political power and the forcible redistribution of unearned wealth. If left unchecked, this new collectivism will produce similar results as the prior version.
Communist.
Call it what it is,
It is COMMUNISM. This is how we need to approach this as it is not “trendy” or “progressive.”
It is a threat to the existence of this nation and the supporters are nothing more than traitors.
