Former Vice President Al Gore declared that the Congressional climate bill will help bring about “global governance.” “I bring you good news from the U.S., “Gore said on July 7, 2009 in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times. “Just two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill,” Gore said, noting it was “very much a step in the right direction.” President Obama has pushed for the passage of the bill in the Senate and attended a G8 summit this week where he agreed to attempt to keep the Earth's temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C. Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it “will dramatically increase the prospects for success” in combating what he sees as the “crisis” of man-made global warming. “But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.” (Editor's Note: Gore makes the “global governance” comment at the 1min. 10 sec. mark in this UK Times video.) Gore's call for “global governance” echoes former French President Jacques Chirac's call in 2000. On November 20, 2000, then French President Chirac said during a speech at The Hague that the UN's Kyoto Protocol represented "the first component of an authentic global governance." “For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance,” Chirac explained. “From the very earliest age, we should make environmental awareness a major theme of education and a major theme of political debate, until respect for the environment comes to be as fundamental as safeguarding our rights and freedoms. By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace,” Chirac added. Former EU Environment Minister Margot Wallstrom said, "Kyoto is about the economy, about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide." Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper once dismissed UN's Kyoto Protocol as a “socialist scheme.” 'Global Carbon Tax' Urged at UN Meeting In addition, calls for a global carbon tax have been urged at recent UN global warming conferences. In December 2007, the UN climate conference in Bali, urged the adoption of a global carbon tax that would represent “a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.” “Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs,” Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, said at the 2007 UN conference after a panel titled “A Global CO2 Tax.” Schwank noted that wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the “polluters pay principle.” The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to “contribute significantly more to this global fund,” Schwank explained. He also added, “It is very essential to tax coal.” The 2007 UN conference was presented with a report from the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment titled “Global Solidarity in Financing Adaptation.” The report stated there was an “urgent need” for a global tax in order for “damages [from climate change] to be kept from growing to truly catastrophic levels, especially in vulnerable countries of the developing world.” The tens of billions of dollars per year generated by a global tax would “flow into a global Multilateral Adaptation Fund” to help nations cope with global warming, according to the report. Schwank said a global carbon dioxide tax is an idea long overdue that is urgently needed to establish “a funding scheme which generates the resources required to address the dimension of challenge with regard to climate change costs.” 'Redistribution of wealth' The environmental group Friends of the Earth advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations during the 2007 UN climate conference. "A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,” said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.

IT was this AGW mess that made me realize people were right about the shadow government and NWO.
So Al Gore is the single mantra, drum beater dancing in the streets that made you realize that something was wrong in America?
Smart ass. No, it was the over all global push, and who was pushing, with no supporting science.
Actually, there is a lot of data to support global warming trends. I don't necessarily believe the major contributor based upon carbon emissions from human technology though. It there is a large number of inputs to the phenomena and human technology is easily modified to change our contributions without government intervention, much less some fantastic boon-dongle bureaucratic mess that is far removed from local geographical areas.
Except that the science doesn't support that either. First, man's contributions are a drop in the bucket and thus irrelevant. That said, the assumption that an increase in carbon emission, anthropogenic or natural, is bad is also a false notion created by the global elite who wish to garner more control and establish the NWO. CO2 is at historic lows for the planet. An increase in CO2 is actually desired, not only for man's benefit but for plants which are a main driving factor in the food chain. There is some anecdotal evidence that the increase in world food production is due to the increase in atmospheric CO2. History has proven that warm periods are beneficial to human culture and growth. The scientific evidence also shows that CO2 increases follow warming.
Cough, spit and BS. Ever see the amazing benefits about American industry (uses about 25% of all non renewable energy from around the world) hoovering over major population centers? Smog was rampant through the 40s - 70s in America. Today, smog is decreasing but it is still prevalent in the atmosphere. It is composed largely of CO2 which is a major by-product of energy use, particularly with carbon based fuels such as oil and gasoline. Smog pollution has been identified by most as particulate matter suspended in the release of CO2 emissions; but smog is really CO2. Ever since the belching plumbs, as by the Iron Horses, of smoke during the early days of the industrial revolution since the mid 1800s, CO2 has been steadily increasing.

Ah my dear, you need to stop drinking that Kool-Aide and learn the real facts and history of CO2. BTW, there is one country that has bypassed the US in CO2 production and the US had less growth in emissions than all the countries who signed and implemented Kyoto. I'll get you hooked up with the science if you wish. My knowledge and access has grown since our days of posting at LP.
I am flattered by your personal compliment hugging me. The rates of human consumption stripping the environment for energy and food and other resources is unsustainable. Governments can't sustain the lack of resources around the world by legislation. And believing in an infinite playground unfettered by 6.7Bn people on the planet isn't either. For America to get back on track about the nation is to diminish personal energy consumption and forget this crazy idea of unsustainable growth rates which has destroyed America's quality of life.
For America to get back on track about the nation is to diminish personal energy consumption and forget this crazy idea of unsustainable growth rates which has destroyed America's quality of life. This planet can easily sustain far more than 6.7 Billion people. It's a big planet. There's an endless supply of oil. More water than we need and ample room to grow all the food required plus more.
Go to the populated areas of china, go to saudi arabia, and tell me that water is ample, we have an endless supply of oil, and that we live on a big planet. You are totally incorrect. We are stripping our resources at an amazing rate. Reproducing at an alarming rate. You bring fear.
Go to the populated areas of china, go to saudi arabia, and tell me that water is ample, we have an endless supply of oil, and that we live on a big planet. I don't have to leave my seat to tell you there's an endless supply of oil. Yes, China is densely populated. Are they starving? Yes, Saudi Arabia is dry. Are they dying of thirst? You are totally incorrect. We are stripping our resources at an amazing rate. Which resources are we stripping? Reproducing at an alarming rate. I'm alarmed You bring fear. You're projecting.
Where does this endless supply of oil come from? Is there dinosaurs stomping at the center of the earth? What a load of bs. Do you know what the carbon cycle is? The plastic in the oceans and the stuff floating in the air takes time to fall and go back underneath the soil, to reconstitute oil. So, you are incorrect, since it there actually is not enough oil at current consumption on the planet for everyone. And yes, millions of people in china are starving. If you cannot keep feeding your people (with minearl poor soils) why are you reproducing? To show your love for hubris? Cut thyne own head off!LOL! Saudi arabia used to be a jungle... Now they dump sea water into some of the tapped out wells to raise the oil. That you say is going to fill up because of some magical organization of space and matter. yeah. right.
I never said Chinese people weren't starving. If they're starving, they should be fed. Food. Can be grown in the ground or otherwise. Why aren't they being fed? What's the rate of population increase in China? Dinosaurs don't make oil. Overpopulation is a hoax like Global Warming and Oil being scarce. To show your love for hubris? Cut thyne own head off!LOL! Charming Ya spelt thine wrong.
Dinosaurs don't make oil. Overpopulation is a hoax like Global Warming and Oil being scarce. Yeah, there isn't enough resources to continue to feed more growing populations, and you say "why aren't they being fed"? Are you kidding me? How do you come to your conclusions ? Did you come to your own conclusions, or just agree with them by fiat?
I'll ask you again. Why aren't they being fed? See if you can answer it this time.
Poverty. Poverty by people reproducing with no control. 1 tenth of the population (and I bet it is higher since the recession and tibet and other parts fell...) 30 million people are starving in China Epoch Times 11/13/2003 Related Articles • BEIJING - Thirty million people in China are starving because they do not get sufficient food each day. Wang Yuzhao, President of the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, revealed this fact at the opening of the Third Annual China Village Head Forum in Kunming on November 10th. According to Wang, many families who have secured sufficient food supplies are in danger of slipping back into malnutrition due to illness or natural disasters. Judging by the World Bank standard income of US$1 a day, there are 100 million Chinese people living in poverty.

I'll bet it's a distribution problem. Perhaps there's not enough food. You know, supply and demand and all that. Maybe something to do with the government. Believe what you want. It's your life
