Sir Christopher Monckton: Copenhagen treaty eviscerates U.S. sovereignty

Subject: txt grn intl owg -
Sir Christopher Monckton is a global warming skeptic. Former Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore has for years refused to accept Monckton's repeated challenge to a public debate on global warming.



He's also a very close reader of the proposed UN Climate Change Treaty President Obama is expected to sign along with other world leaders in Copenhagen in a few weeks. Monckton says that 200-page treaty cedes U.S. sovereignity to the UN, mandates a massive transfer of wealth from the U.S. and Europe to pay our "Climate Debt" to the Third World, and creates a new enforcement mechanism to make it all happen.

Is Monckton right? I don't know because I haven't yet read the treaty (But I soon will be). Here's his warning about the Copenhagen Treaty, and here's the draft text of the treaty. Judge for yourself.

"Acknowledging that current atmospheric concentrations are principally the result of
historical emissions of greenhouse gases, the most significant share of which has originated in developed countries."

This is an impossible piece of the treaty to agree to. The earth produces 33 times more CO2 every year than all of mankind combined. To leave out the earth’s natural CO2 emissions is irresponsible.

"Further acknowledging that developed countries have a historical responsibility for their
disproportionate contribution to the causes and consequences of climate change, reflecting their
disproportionate historical use of a shared global carbon space since 1850 as well as their proposed
continuing disproportionate use of the remaining global carbon space."

This one is to set the developed countries up for the blame, and are therefore responsible for the costs.


"Warming of the climate system, as a consequence of human activity, is unequivocal."

This is another improvable statement. And developed nations are supposed to agree to this?


"increased financial support and technology transfer to developing countries"

There’s the money transfer part to developing countries. Just like Monckton has said.

"as a reduction in global average GHG emissions per capita to about 2 t CO2."

Here’s the part which means that individuals will be held accountable so the big polluters will be off the hook. Maximum 2tons per year per person, so the carbon market will expand into the largest commodity market in history. Big money for the UN.

"Annex I Parties commit the amount of [ ] billion [Euros/dollars] in order to enable mitigation and adaptation actions in developing countries for the period now up to 2012."

They want the cash up front! At least it starts with a B, not a T.


Haven't found the part where the US cedes soveiegnty yet. But it's a long document. Thanks for providing the link.

America needs to listen to Lord Monckton. My site has a lot of his works and a few videos of him posted.
