Beam me to Planet Gore !

This would be really funny if it weren't for the fact that so many supposedly informed people, including our president and those who surround him, may actually buy into ideas being proposed at the United Nations-sponsored Cancun climate conference, and will relish the means by which they could be put into place.
At the UK Telegraph today, environment correspondent Louise Gray feeds us the following headline and sub-headline:
Cancun climate change summit: scientists call for rationing in developed world
Global warming is now such a serious threat to mankind that climate change experts are calling for Second World War-style rationing in rich countries to bring down carbon emissions.
From all appearances, such rationing would last at least two decades, during which there would be, by design, no economic growth. Zero, zip, nada.
Here are selected paragraphs from Gray's grouse (bolds and number tags are mine):
In a series of papers published by the Royal Society, physicists and chemists from some of world’s most respected scientific institutions, including Oxford University and the Met Office, agreed that current plans to tackle global warming are not enough.
Unless emissions are reduced dramatically in the next ten years the world is set to see temperatures rise by more than 4C (7.2F) by as early as the 2060s, causing floods, droughts and mass migration. [1]
... In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years. [2]
This would mean a drastic change in lifestyles [2] for many people in countries like Britain as everyone will have to buy less ‘carbon intensive’ goods and services such as long haul flights and fuel hungry cars.
... He said politicians should consider a rationing system similar to the one introduced during the last “time of crisis” in the 1930s and 40s. [3]
... Prof Anderson insisted that halting growth in the rich world does not necessarily mean a recession or a worse lifestyle, [2] it just means making adjustments in everyday life such as using public transport and wearing a sweater rather than turning on the heating.
... At the moment efforts are focused on trying to get countries to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2050 relative to 1990 levels. [4]
But Dr Myles Allen, of Oxford University’s Department of Physics, said this might not be enough. He said that if emissions do not come down quick enough even a slight change in temperature will be too rapid for ecosystems to keep up.
A suggestion for Prof. Anderson and Dr. Allen: You first, guys. If you commit for the next 20 years not to use a computer or any kind of wireless communication device, and only to travel via public transportation, we might listen. Too harsh for self-appointed elitists like you? Too bad.

Test run for total control and 666?
Eventually some of his acolytes who also thought Obama was going to pay their rent and buy them cars will figure this out ~
fyi
The enviroloonies’ last big party! It’s over for these scammers and hoaxers.
People in the western industrialized nations are already doing their part through virtually zero population growth but I don’t see anything in this document about making the developing nations stop procreating to “save the planet”.
Or do they already know that reducing the standard of living in the industrialized nations will lead to less support and development in the other nations, leading to massive die-offs and wars? Climate Change proponents are just genocidal maniacs with a happy face mask.
World leaders approve new global climate package, fund (agree to rob 100 B from US taxpayers)
AND this one:
BREAKING NEWS! The abdication of the West — the sting at Cancun ( Global Warming?????)
********************************EXCERPT INTRO***********************************
The power hungry tyrants learnt from Copenhagen. They realized that they have a far better chance of success by underselling the expectations and sliding in long impenetrable documents in front of underling bureaucrats. Due to the importance of this I have reproduced Christopher Monckton’s words in full as reported at SPPI (see below).
The UN wants nothing less than 1.5% of our GDP.
That’s $212 billion from the USA every year ($2700 per family of 4).
That’s $32 billion from the UK every year ($2000 per family of 4).
That’s $13 billion from Australia every year ($2400 per family of 4).
Figures calculated from the CIA world Factbook
The Secretariat will have the power not merely to invite nation states to perform their obligations under the climate-change Convention, but to compel them to do so. Nation states are to be ordered to collect, compile and submit vast quantities of information, in a manner and form to be specified by the secretariat and its growing army of subsidiary bodies.
Please send this message on and email politicians. Australian elected representatives are listed here. Once this is quietly established, how will any single nation back out even if it’s citizen vote to do so (other than the US with the military might to match the UN?)
If you would prefer to spend that money on other things. Now is the time to protest. The more money they get, the harder they are to stop.

The abdication of the West
December 9th, 2010
The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley
Cancun, Mexico
I usually add some gentle humor to these reports. Not today. Read this and weep. Notwithstanding the carefully-orchestrated propaganda to the effect that nothing much will be decided at the UN climate conference here in Cancun, the decisions to be made here this week signal nothing less than the abdication of the West. The governing class in what was once proudly known as the Free World is silently, casually letting go of liberty, prosperity, and even democracy itself. No one in the mainstream media will tell you this, not so much because they do not see as because they do not bl**dy care.
See #9.
That’s just starting money. Once the nose is under the tent, then it will be 1.5% increases per year.
FUBO!
FUUN!
FUGREENLOONS!
FULYINGCOMMIES!
All of you go straight to hell whence you came.
No doubt.
If they keep this up, the major portion of air polution will be lead.
Hmm I don’t recall where in the Constitution the People delegated the authority to surrender their sovereignty and liberty to the Administration and its diplomats.
“If they keep this up, the major portion of air polution will be lead.”
Above-ground nuclear testing might make a comeback, too.
These "warmers" are sounding more and more like the Flat Earth Society warning us that we will fall off the edge if we do not pray to their god. Ever kick over an ant hill? That what these so-called climate change experts look to me, like a bunch of critters running every which way, and getting nowhere in their desperation because their house of cards has fallen down.
The pseudo science of carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming has been exposed as the fraud that it is. What we need is common sense among those "scientists."
I prefer zero growth (better still, a reduction) in the size and intrusiveness of government—especially international institutions like the U. f’n-N.
More seriously, why couldn't the great 65 million years BC Yucatan impact have come sometime last week? This whole "I'm not really a scientist but I play one at the UN" crowd needs their own mass extinction.
