By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley in Durban, South Africa
DURBAN, South Africa — “No high hopes for Durban.” “Binding treaty unlikely.” “No deal this year.” Thus ran the headlines. The profiteering UN bureaucrats here think otherwise. Their plans to establish a world government paid for by the West on the pretext of dealing with the non-problem of “global warming” are now well in hand. As usual, the mainstream media have simply not reported what is in the draft text which the 194 states parties to the UN framework convention on climate change are being asked to approve.
Behind the scenes, throughout the year since Cancun, the now-permanent bureaucrats who have made highly-profitable careers out of what they lovingly call “the process” have been beavering away at what is now a 138-page document. Its catchy title is “Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action Under the Convention — Update of the amalgamation of draft texts in preparation of [one imagines they mean ‘for’] a comprehensive and balanced outcome to be presented to the Conference of the Parties for adoption at its seventeenth session: note by the Chair.” In plain English, these are the conclusions the bureaucracy wants.
The contents of this document, turgidly drafted with all the UN’s skill at what the former head of its documentation center used to call “transparent impenetrability”, are not just off the wall – they are lunatic.
Main points:
- Ø A new International Climate Court will have the power to compel Western nations to pay ever-larger sums to third-world countries in the name of making reparation for supposed “climate debt”. The Court will have no power over third-world countries. Here and throughout the draft, the West is the sole target. “The process” is now irredeemably anti-Western.
- Ø “Rights of Mother Earth”: The draft, which seems to have been written by feeble-minded green activists and environmental extremists, talks of “The recognition and defence of the rights of Mother Earth to ensure harmony between humanity and nature”. Also, “there will be no commodification [whatever that may be: it is not in the dictionary and does not deserve to be] of the functions of nature, therefore no carbon market will be developed with that purpose”.
- Ø “Right to survive”: The draft childishly asserts that “The rights of some Parties to survive are threatened by the adverse impacts of climate change, including sea level rise.” At 2 inches per century, according to eight years’ data from the Envisat satellite? Oh, come off it! The Jason 2 satellite, the new kid on the block, shows that sea-level has actually dropped over the past three years.
- Ø War and the maintenance of defence forces and equipment are to cease – just like that – because they contribute to climate change. There are other reasons why war ought to cease, but the draft does not mention them.
- Ø A new global temperature target will aim, Canute-like, to limit “global warming” to as little as 1 C° above pre-industrial levels. Since temperature is already 3 C° above those levels, what is in effect being proposed is a 2 C° cut in today’s temperatures. This would take us halfway back towards the last Ice Age, and would kill hundreds of millions. Colder is far more dangerous than warmer.
- Ø The new CO2 emissions target, for Western countries only, will be a reduction of up to 50% in emissions over the next eight years and of “more than 100%” [these words actually appear in the text] by 2050. So, no motor cars, no coal-fired or gas-fired power stations, no aircraft, no trains. Back to the Stone Age, but without even the right to light a carbon-emitting fire in your caves. Windmills, solar panels and other “renewables” are the only alternatives suggested in the draft. There is no mention of the immediate and rapid expansion of nuclear power worldwide to prevent near-total economic destruction.
- Ø The new CO2 concentration target could be as low as 300 ppmv CO2 equivalent (i.e., including all other greenhouse gases as well as CO2 itself). That is a cut of almost half compared with the 560 ppmv CO2 equivalent today. It implies just 210 ppmv of CO2 itself, with 90 ppmv CO2 equivalent from other greenhouse gases. But at 210 ppmv, plants and trees begin to die. CO2 is plant food. They need a lot more of it than 210 ppmv.
- Ø The peak-greenhouse-gas target year – for the West only – will be this year. We will be obliged to cut our emissions from now on, regardless of the effect on our economies (and the lack of effect on the climate).
- Ø The West will pay for everything, because of its “historical responsibility” for causing “global warming”. Third-world countries will not be obliged to pay anything. But it is the UN, not the third-world countries, that will get the money from the West, taking nearly all of it for itself as usual. There is no provision anywhere in the draft for the UN to publish accounts of how it has spent the $100 billion a year the draft demands that the West should stump up from now on.
The real lunacy comes in the small print – all of it in 8-point type, near-illegibly printed on grubby, recycled paper. Every fashionable leftist idiocy is catered for.
Talking of which, note in passing that Rajendra Pachauri, the railroad engineer who, in the topsy-turvy looking-glass world of international climate insanity is the “science” chairman of the UN’s climate panel, has admitted that no one has been talking about climate science at the climate conference here in Durban. Not really surprising, given no real warming for getting on for two decades, no recent sea-level rise, no new record Arctic ice-melt, fewer hurricanes than at almost any time in 30 years, no Pacific atolls disappearing beneath the waves.
Here – and, as always, you heard it here first, for the mainstream media have conspired to keep secret the Madness of King Rajendra and his entire coterie of governmental and bureaucratic lunatics worldwide – is what the dribbling, twitching thrones and dominions, principalities and powers of the world will be asked to agree to.
“International Climate Court of Justice”: This kangaroo court is to be established by next year “to guarantee the compliance of Annex I Parties with all the provisions of this decision, which are essential elements in the obtaining of the global goal”. Note that, here as elsewhere, the bias is only against the nations of the West. However badly the third-world countries behave, they cannot be brought before the new court. Though none of what the draft calls the “modalities” of the proposed marsupial dicastery are set out in detail, one can imagine that the intention is to oblige Western nations to pay up however much the world government run by the Convention secretariat feels like demanding, just as the unelected tyrants of the EU demand – and get – ever-larger cash payments from the ever-shrinking economies and ever-poorer tribute-payers of their dismal empire.
The temperature target: At Copenhagen and Cancun, the states parties to the Convention arrogated to themselves the power – previously safe in the hands of Divine Providence – to alter the weather in such a way as to prevent global mean surface temperature from rising by more than 2 C° above the “pre-industrial” level. They did not even say what they meant by “pre-industrial”. From 1695-1745 temperatures in central England, quite a good proxy for global temperatures, rose by 2.2 C°, with about another 0.8 C° since then, making 3 C° in all. The previous temperature target, therefore, was already absurd. Yet the new, improved, madder target is to keep global temperatures either “1 C°” or “well below 1.5 C°” above “pre-industrial levels” – i.e., well below half of the temperature increase that has already occurred since the pre-industrial era. The twittering states parties are committing themselves, in effect, to reducing today’s global temperatures by getting on for 2 C°. This is madness. Throughout pre-history, the governing class – Druids or Pharaohs or Mayans or Incas – thought they could replace their Creator and command the weather. They couldn’t. No more can we. But try telling that to the strait-jacketed ninnies of today’s governing “elite”. Speech after speech at the plenary sessions of the Durban conference has drivelled on about how We Are The People Who At This Historic Juncture Are Willing And Able To Undertake The Noble Purpose Of Saving The Planet From Thermageddon and Saving You From Yourselves [entirely at your prodigious expense, natch].
The emissions-reduction targets: The new target proposed by the staring-eyed global-village idiots will be a reduction of 50-85% of global greenhouse-gas emissions from 1990 levels (i.e. by 65-100% of today’s levels) by 2050, with emissions falling still further thereafter. The West should cut its emissions by 30-50% from 1990 levels (i.e. by 40-65% of today’s levels) in just eight years, and by more than 95% (i.e. more than 100%) by 2050. Alternatively (for there are many alternatives in the text, indicating that agreement among the inmates in the Durban asylum is a long way off), the West must cut its emissions “more than 50%” in just five years, and “more than 100%” by 2050. The words “more than 100%” actually appear in the draft. The Third World, however, need cut its emissions only by 15-30% over the next eight years, provided – of course – that the West fully reimburses it for the cost.
The greenhouse-gas reduction target: Greenhouse-gas concentrations in the atmosphere “should stabilize well below 300-450 ppm CO2 equivalent”. This target, like the temperature target, is plain daft. CO2 concentration is currently at 392 ppmv, and the IPCC increases this by 43% to allow for other greenhouse gases. Accordingly, today’s CO2-equivalent concentration of greenhouse gases is 560 ppmv, and the current lunacy is to cut this perhaps by very nearly half, reducing the CO2 component to just 210 ppmv, at which point trees and plants become starved of CO2, which is their food, and start to die.
The greenhouse-gas peak targets: Global greenhouse gas emissions, say the mentally-challenged Durban droolers, should peak in not more than eight years’ time, and perhaps as soon as two years’ time. Western greenhouse-gas emissions should peak immediately (or perhaps by next year, or maybe the year after that) and must decline thereafter. The greenhouse-gas emissions peak in third-world countries will be later than that of the West, and – no surprises here – will depend on the West to pay the cost of it.
“Historical responsibility”: The nations of the West (for which the UN’s code is “Annex I parties”) are from now on required to beat their breasts (or at least their strait-jackets) and acknowledge their “historical responsibility” for increasing CO2 emissions and giving us warmer weather. The draft says: “Acknowledging that the largest share of the historical global emissions of greenhouse gases originated in Annex I Parties and that, owing to this historical responsibility in terms of their contribution to the average global temperature increase, Annex I Parties must take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse effects thereof.” This new concept of “historical responsibility” – suspiciously akin to the “war-guilt” of post-1918 Germany, declared by the imprudent governments of the world at the Versailles conference, which was no small cause of World War II – further underscores the rapidly-growing anti-Western bias in the UN and in the Convention’s secretariat.
Who pays? Oh, you guessed it before I told you. The West pays. The third world (UN code: “non-Annex-I parties”) thinks it will collect, so it will always vote for the UN’s insane proposals. But the UN’s bureaucrats will actually get all or nearly all the money, and will decide how to allocate what minuscule fraction they have not already spent on themselves. As a senior UN diplomat told me last year, “The UN exists for only one purpose: to get more money. That, and that alone, is the reason why it takes such an interest in climate change.” The draft says: “Developed-country Parties shall provide developing-country Parties with new and additional finance, inter alia through a percentage of the gross domestic product of developed-country Parties.” And, of course, “The extent of participation by non-Annex-I parties in the global effort to deal with climate change is directly dependent on the level of support provided by developed-country Parties.”
The get-out clause: One or two Western countries – Canada and Japan, for instance – have begun to come off the Kool-Aid. They have worked out what scientifically-baseless nonsense the climate scam is and have said they are not really playing any more. To try to keep these and the growing number of nations who want out of “the process” bankrolling the ever-more-lavish UN, an ingenious escape clause has been crafted: “The scale of financial flows to non-Annex-I parties shall be based on the assessments of their needs to deal with climate change.” Since climate is not going to change measurably as a result of Man’s emissions, any honest assessment of the needs of third-world countries “to deal with climate change” is that they don’t need any money at all for this purpose and shouldn’t get a single red cent. The UN is now the biggest obstacle to the eradication of poverty worldwide, because its pampered functionaries divert so much cash to themselves, to an ever-expanding alphabet-soup of bureaucracies, and then to heroically lunatic projects like “global warming” control. Time to abolish it.
World government: The Copenhagen Treaty draft establishing a world “government” with unlimited powers of taxation and intervention in the affairs of states parties to the UN Framework Convention fortunately failed. Yet at the Cancun climate conference the following year 1000 new bureaucracies were established to form the nucleus of a world government, with central control in the hands of the Convention’s secretariat and tentacles in every region and nation. The draft “agrees that common principles, modalities and procedures as well as the coordinating and oversight functions of the UNFCCC are needed” – in short, global centralization of political, economic and environmental power in the manicured hands of the Convention’s near-invisible but all-powerful secretariat. No provision is made for the democratic election of key members of the all-powerful secretariat – in effect, a world government – by the peoples of our planet.
Reporting to the world government: From 2013/14, the world government will oblige Western nations to prepare reports and submit them to it every two years. The format of these reports is specified in obsessive detail over several pages of the draft. The reports will describe the extent of their compliance with the mitigation targets imposed by the various treaties and agreements. The West will be obliged to to continue reporting “greenhouse-gas emission inventories”, for which “common reporting formats and methodologies for the calculation of emission, established at the international level, are essential”. Separately, Western nations will now be required to provide information on the financial support they have pledged to assist third-world countries in mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions and adapting to “the adverse effects of climate change”. The world government also expects to receive reports from Western nations on their financial contributions to the Global Environment Facility, the Least Developed Countries’ Trust Fund, the Special Climate Change Fund, the Adaptation Fund, the Green Climate Fund and the Trust Fund for Supplementary Activities”. Western nations must also provide information on the steps taken to promote technology development and transfer to third-world countries, and on how they have provided “capacity-building support” to third-world countries, and on numerous other matters. The inexorable increase in compulsory reporting was one of the mechanisms by which the unelected Kommissars of the anti-democratic European Union acquired absolute power over the member states. EU advisors have been helping the UN to learn how to use similar techniques to centralize global power just as anti-democratically in its own hands.
Review of Western nations’ conduct: Once the multitude of mechanisms for Western nations’ compulsory reporting to the world government are in place, the information gathered by it will be used as the basis of a continuous review of every aspect of their compliance with the various agreements and concords, whether legally-binding or not. Teams of five to eight members of the Convention’s secretariat will scrutinize each Western nation’s conduct, and will have the power to ask questions and to require additional information, as well as to make recommendations that will gradually become binding. The world government will then prepare a record of the review for each Western nation, including reports of various aspects of the review, an assessment of that nation’s compliance, questions and answers, conclusions and recommendations (eventually instructions) to that nation, and a “facilitative process” (UN code for a mechanism to compel the nation to do as it is told by people whom no one has elected).
Finance: One of the 1000 bureaucracies established at Cancun is the Standing Committee on Finance, which the draft says will have the power of “mobilizing financial resources” through flows of public and private finance, “mobilizing additional funding”, and requiring and verifying the reporting of finance provided to third-world Parties by the Western nations through a new Financial Support Registry. Finance for third-world countries is to be scaled up “significantly”, and Western countries will be obliged to provide “a clear work-plan on their pledged assessed contributions” from 2012-2020 “for approval by the Conference of the Parties”. Taxpayers will be compelled to provide the major source of funding through public expenditure.
Green Climate Fund: Western nations are urged to “commit to the initial capitalization of the Green Climate Fund without delay”, to include “the full running costs” and “the funding required for the formation and operating costs of the board and secretariat of the Green Climate Fund”. Here, as always, the UN bureaucrats want their own pay, perks, pensions and organizational structure guaranteed before any money goes to third-world countries.
Worldwide cap-and-trade: The draft establishes a “new market-based approach/mechanism … to promote the reduction or avoidance of greenhouse-gas emissions” – once again for Western countries only. Also, “Ambitious, legally-binding emission reduction targets for developed-country Parties … are essential to drive a global carbon market”. What this means, in the plain English that is almost entirely absent from the 138-page draft, is worldwide compulsory cap-and-trade, centrally imposed and regulated, imposed on Western countries only.
Patent rights: Under the guise of action to prevent “global warming” that is not happening at anything like the predicted rate, coded references to the extinction of patent rights in third-world countries are creeping into the text. For instance, “identification and removal of all barriers that prevent effective technology development and transfer to developing-country Parties”; and “the removal of all obstacles, including intellectual property rights and patents on climate-related technologies to ensure the transfer of technology to developing countries”. As an inventor with patents to my name, I can predict what effect any such provision will have. It will prevent the establishment and development of patent offices in continents such as Africa, which – thus far – has contributed remarkably little to the world’s inventions, not least because the structure for protecting and encouraging inventors is rickety or non-existent.
Shipping and aviation fuels were previously excluded from the scope of the Convention and are now to be included. International shipping and aviation are described as “a source of financial resources for climate change actions”. More money for UN bureaucrats.
The new bureaucracies: As though the 1000 bureaucracies created at Cancun were not enough, another bureaucracy is to be created “to oversee, monitor and ensure overall implementation of capacity-building activities consistent with the provisions of the Convention”. There will also be a new “International Climate Court of Justice” (see above). A “Financial Support Registry” is also to be set up.
The new special-interest group: Meet the “Parties that are alternative-energy-disadvantaged”. No wind, no sun, no renewables – so, handouts from the West, please.
The new buzzwords: Welcome to the notion of “equitable access to global atmospheric space”; “Mother Earth” [I kid you not: it’s in the draft]; “climate-resilient infrastructure” and “paradigm shift towards building a low-carbon society”. These buzzwords are in addition to pre-existing buzzwords such as “climate justice” and “climate debt” – the latter being the notion that because the West has emitted more carbon dioxide than the rest it owes the Third World lots of money.
“Rights of Mother Earth”: The draft burbles insanely about “The recognition and defence of the rights of Mother Earth to ensure harmony between humanity and nature, and that there will be no commodification [whatever that may be] of the functions of nature, therefore no carbon market will be developed with that purpose”.
“Right to survive”: “The rights of some Parties to survive are threatened by the adverse impacts of climate change, including sea level rise.” At 2 inches per century? Oh, come off it! The Jason 2 satellite shows that sea-level has dropped over the past three years.
The science is at last to be reviewed in a manner that appears independent of the discredited IPCC. However, no details of the method of review are provided, and other parts of the schizophrenic draft say we must defer to the science put forward not by the peer-reviewed learned journals but by a political body whose reports are not peer-reviewed in the usual sense.
Legally-binding treaty: According to the draft, the aim is to create a “legally-binding instrument/outcome”. This is UN code for an international Treaty. The US will sign no such treaty. Nor will Canada, Japan, France, India and many other countries. On the basis of drafts as in-your-face idiotic as this, no legally-binding climate treaty will ever be signed: which is just as well, because no such treaty is necessary.
War and the maintenance of defence forces and equipment are to cease because they contribute to climate change. Just like that. The UN draft text asserts: “Stopping wars, defending lives and ceasing destructive activities will protect the climate system; conflict-related activities emit significant greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.” A wave of the UN’s magic wand and peace will reign throughout the Earth, the sun will shine (but not too much) the rain will fall (just where and when needed), and non-gender-specific motherhood and non-commodificated apple pie will be available to all. Ouroborindra, ba-ba hee! It does not seem to have occurred to the Druids of the UN that they have near-totally failed to prevent wars on Earth – the original purpose for which it was founded. Yet now, in their gibbering, spastic arrogance, they think to command the weather. Canute, thou shouldst be living at this hour!

Thanks to Lord Monckton for exposing these despots willing to enslave the world in a desperate grab for wealth redistribution (poor to the rich). Democracy is not on their agenda, totalitarianism is their ultimate goal. It seems many will not wake up to this great scam until their monthly bills exceed their income.

It disappoints me greatly that otherwise intelligent members of the human race believe anything that fraud Monckton says. You all get so worked up into rabid hysterics by him and other unscrupulous ‘commentators’ you think there is a conspiracy everywhere you look. Yet the real conspiracy is against the science and is promoted by vested interests. All your capacity for rational thought has been thrown out the window. It is very sad. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Comments here are just unbelievably narrow minded.
An example country x notices fish stocks reaching survivable critical levels.
Country x forces its fisherment to put away their factory ships
Country y sees this as an oportunity to increase its fish yeilds with this dwindling reserve.
Result = no fish = every one unhappy
What should have happened
Countries a to zzz agree to reduce catches to a sustainable level
Result = fish = every happy-ish (smaller catches)
The same is true with GLOBAL environment.
If Countries X+Y+Z create 60% of pollution but then Countries A, B, C, D, E, F, suddenly up their levels to those of X, Y, Z then the earth sinks into the mire.
IF X, Y, Z say they will reduce their pollution levels but no one else agrees then the earth sinks into the mire but more slowly.
A world wide agreement is required.
Is this global government – I do not thinks so.
Is this Communism by the back door. – I do not think so.
IT IS SIMPLY INTELLIGENCE at work
Who will organise this mass intelligence? USA, Russia, China, Zambia? All would have agendas to push.
To attack a global problem needs a global agency – suggest one!

You mean like the human rights commission that they set up, which promptly started villifying every western country for the tiniest of infractions while completely ignoring the worst human rights abuses on the planet in places like Iran, Syria, Darfur, China and North Korea? Or do you mean like the global agency set up to trade oil for food with Iraq and promptly lined their own pockets with the proceeds while looking the other way one whether or not the money was actually spent on food? Or do you mean like the UN peace keeping forces that stood idley by while a million people in Rwanda were slaughtered? Actually, standing idley by is probably a bit of improvement as they usually high tail out of the region entirely at the first sign that the peace they are there to keep is in jeapourdy.
Here’s the problem with your suggestion. History shows that the UN has made matters worse, not better, in almost every problem they have tackled. You might want to ask why.
Power corrupts.
A central global authority organized by the UN must bow to the will of itz international members, the majority of which have names like Zambia, Venezuala, Zimbabwe, Chad, Syria, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia….
The west spent many decades and many lives shedding the shackles of tyranny. You seem to be eager to welcome those shackles back. You’ve failed to learn history’s lessons, and you want to condemn the rest of us to repeating history with you.
I know conspiracy theories are unpopular unless they tend to reinforce existing prejudices, but there have always been people on this earth intent on forging an unholy alliance between politics and religion, and all the various factions pushing this wheelbarrow seem quite amenable to that end. With all that history teaches us of the dangers of such an arrangement, it is both startlingly ironic and suicidally stupid that we are collectively allowing such a confluence to dominate us again – this time over the whole earth, for real, and not merely as a matter of hyperbole or big-noting.
Monckton is quite right to refer to the “druids” here: this really is a return to the Dark Ages in more ways than one.
Unfortunately Lord Monckton has more faith in the honesty and integrity of politicians than I have. I think politicans are only faithful to those who pay for them and that is NOT the general populous.
The facts are:
1. This is NOT in the national Media.
2. The USA has NOT nullified the World Trade Treaty despite an ever deepening fifteen year loss of trade
3. Instead Congress passed a law that make our farmers, our very source of sustenance subject to international rule.
4. Congress voted FOR the Bank bailout and the moneys taken FROM American Tax Payers were handed over to Banks world wide.
5. The World Bank is up to it’s eyeballs in the global warming scam.
Financial entanglements. ~ Secret $7.77 Trillion Bailout:
Where the loans actually went:
The Central banks WANT a world government (and control of ALL the wealth), that is why they collapsed the economy of the West in the first place. They do not have to worry about the third world countries because the World Bank OWNS those countries already. (World Bank Structural Adjustment Policies: http://www.whirledbank.org/development/sap.html)
I am not sure what carrot is being waved in front of China, but with Maurice Strong in residence, Al Gore giving talks to Chinese Business and JP morgan’s continued presence I am sure there is one and that it goes all the way back to Al Gore and Clinton selling out the USA in 1995.

I agree completely. In addition, World government will need uniform wages around the world. Someone putting on lug nuts in China will get paid the same as someone in America. The easiest way… lower U.S., raise China.
They feel that everyone will get along [no war]:
a) if the financial inequities are removed.
b) if religion is made not threatening -> no Hell only Heaven.
c) if world government can remove anyone they feel is a threat to world peace.
d) if world government can distribute food and resources to all equally.
To bring this about, I feel that they are planning WW3 [World War three]. This will cause reduction in world population on a massive scale. What will be left will then come under “World Government” control. This is to prevent WW4, but will actually lead to WW4.
By the way, we can see the “rest of the world” [non-developed] loving climate change as a reason to enact a transfer of monies directly to them.
What is interesting is the government using CO2 as a reason, under the “police state power” of the EPA, to slow or prevent U.S. growth. They won’t even let a pipeline be built!!
I think this is the major deal that was glossed over:
….The Durban agreement…sets up the bodies that will collect, govern and distribute tens of billions of dollars to poor countries suffering the effects of climate change….
EXACTLY what does that mean???
Back to Lord Monckton’s earlier post.
The real lunacy comes in the small print…..
Since the UN never believed in Climate Change/Globull Warming in the first place, it is the FINE PRINT that sets up the bodies that will collect, govern and distribute…
That is the real I gotcha. The United Nations gains the holy grail, the ability to TAX directly. This is a major step in changing the UN into a WORLD GOVERNMENT.

==================
You failed miserably to say how you will tackle global problems like e.g. Fishing, Pollution, nuclear proliferation.
The west did a good job with tyranising many states in the world. It still has its goes at others today. Sometimes it is simply revisiting problems it created!
JJThoms;
You failed miserably to say how you will tackle global problems like e.g. Fishing, Pollution, nuclear proliferation.>>>
I made no attempt top address those problems, so how could I fail?
I demonstrated that YOUR solution to those problems is impractical at best, and insane at worst. The percentage chance of achieving “at best” being near zero. Stop apologizing for our successes while promoting the grossest failures of humankind as “solutions”. Pleeze. The only outcome your “solutions” have ever had in world history is death and history books written in the blood of man’s inhumanity to man.
I shall defend to the death your right to speak as you wish, and so also shall I defend to the death the imposition of your totalitarian utopia upon freedom’s tree, which, as has been said, must be watered with the blood of tyrants. You propose tyranny sir, and I say no.
Thank you Lord Monckton. The lessons of history are crystal clear, except to the delusional mind….
Now that the UN’s “Manifesto” is out in the open this might be a good time to look in the history books for analogues to the consequences of giving delusional minds a free reign at control of the world.

This book is now so relevant to what is happening that it should be compulsory reading for everyone:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Watermelons-Green-Movements-Colors-ebook/dp/B005BE0S02 .
That is the UK Kindle version. It seems that what may be a hardback version will be published in Feb 2012. Google for yourselves.
This is far from a mere CAGW bashing treatise: it goes far further to reveal the true purpose of the green agenda, its’ forebears, its’ (UN lead) future (if they get their way) and en route Delingpole shows us the origin of the “sustainability” mantra.
It is a MUST read.
I urge you to correct the wee typo, below. You omitted the word “against”, which I have inserted in square braces:
With that adjustment, Hear! Hear!
Is there any point in worrying about any of this nonsense?
After all, they don’t have any means of enforcing their absurd ideas.
They are roughly on the level of the eight-year-old who says “When I am Prime Minister I will give myself a billion pounds a week pocket money”.
Pointing and laughing seems about the right response.
My eight year old son is more interested in endless computer time for games…much like climate modellers!
Isn’t ‘Climate change’ merely one out of a multiude of delusionary games played by a knit web of influential and greedy, but frightned people in key positions around the world in science, banking, finance, business and politics including the Socialist International, Freemasonry and the UN, who along with Marx, Lenin and Stalin adopted the Dialectic formula of deception developed by the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel?
Sorry to spoil your fun everybody, but if you actually take the time to look at the document in question, you will notice that this is nothing like a decision, a proposal from “UN bureaucrats” or anything like that. It is a compilation of all proposals made by all countries, many of them contradictory and most of them nowhere near any meaningful support from other countries. So for example, the proposal from Bolivia to have a new “International Climate Court” is included in the document because Bolivia as a member of the UN has a right to propose whatever they like, but this does not mean that a single country supports them, nor that anybody employed in the UN system has any sympathy for their idea. This is probably a bit too realistic and far removed from outright conspiracy for it to be taken seriously in this forum, but it is nonetheless fact.
