The Carbon Agenda

In trying to get the jump on the next bubble, i began paying attention to the carbon games - aka climate change. I have been collecting information on the topic for years and am a scientist in the camp of Bjorn Lomborg and the Skeptical Environmentalists. A recent article by Robinson, Robinson and Soon (Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (2007) 12, 79-90) pretty much addresses the sum of the evidence, which point to solar activity as being orders of magnitude ahead of anthopomorphic carbon dioxide generation.

With the Copenhagen IPCC summit coming up in December - I started working with a few colleagues on carbon monitoring for small business. If we look at the carbon cycle, we can gauge the net flux in all directions. The atmospheric chemistry of earth changes from time to time based on the gas composition - some of what we are riding now may be indicative of behavior approaching limits. Chaos theory and climate behavior have distinct overlaps.

So - what is the carbon agenda for Copenhagen really about. This little tidbit from the Aussie Press drew this comment, buried about six deep. The first paragraph is an Oct 15 quote from Lord Moncton, then the real info starts.

"At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it."

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfaction of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement."

For those who want to read this treaty, here's a link.

The science argument is moot, the real issue has always been about world governance and wealth transfer. If it wasn't CO2 it would be some other pretext. CO2 was just handy because it's global in scope, it promises future and uncertain negative consequences and it's scaring the hell out of a lot of people. Fear makes people malleable.

This treaty is the real issue that needs attention.

Amazing what you find when you read between the lines...
