The Kyoto
Treaty officially collapsed in 2009,
when a conference of Utopian World Leaders (including Obama), gathered in
The NY Times breaks this
news, with these words:
In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a
United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting
with diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the
world’s largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution. But
under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty
only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.
Turns out,
Obama believes he and his Utopian friends can shame non-compliant nations, into cooperation. Clinton Administration representatives, admit that a legally binding treatise is
impossible, at this time; as silly as it may sound, public shaming is the only remaining course
of action. But,
whoever said that Obama was not about “silliness” when trying to do the
impossible?
How
concerned should we be regarding this new
Utopian scheme?
(Perhaps) All we
have to do is look to Kyoto
as we seek to see the future for this new,
end run of our “President.”
If you
are not aware, “Kyoto ” was a proposed treaty that required
the signees of the treaty to comply with certain and specific emission standards. It,
also, provided for fines to be
paid and redistributed, by functionaries
at the UN.
Of the
191 countries signing onto the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, including “big polluters" such as Iraq, Afghanistan,
Iran, Uganda, the Dominican Republic, Senegal, and Gambia, only 31 nations cut “green house emissions”
in 2012. There are no stats for the
2013.
Neither
the U.S. nor China signed onto this UN treatise, Australia (a signee) increased its emissions by
8%, in 2012, Russian and India , also signees,
registered “zero” reductions in emissions for 2012. In fact, as to the non-compliance of the signing parties, 160 of the 191 nations agreeing to Kyoto
did not make an effort to reduce emissions. This reality has rendered the treaty a colossal
failure. So much for One World
Governance.
Understand
that Kyoto was only and always a marketing
plan, by the United Nations, under the guise of “climate control, to redistribute the wealth of the Industrialized
World, and, especially the US ,
to the poorer nations.
While the
treaty was created in 1997, the Earth’s
warming trend, came to a screeching halt
beginning with 1998, and has continued
to puzzle the Utopian Scientific community since that time, up to and including 2014.
The power
of enforcement, under the new
Obama/Utopian World scheme, is “public shame.”
That’s right: the new proposition
being developed, would shame countries
who do not sign onto the new agreement or comply with its standards. Understand this: Kyoto
was actual treatise, but few nations surrendered their sovereignty
to the UN, as required by this UN agreement. The question that remains is
this: if an actual treatise agreement did not produce compliance, how will a program of “shame” solve the
problem of non-compliance? The answer is
obvious and the mentality that leads Obama to this new effort, is embarrassing . . . . . at least,
on an intellectual level.
Keep in
mind that Obama has worked outside the rule of American law, from Day One of his Administration. He has never considered the US Constitution, a "white man’s document," to be a rule of law that binds his office to
any specific course of action, in spite
of his rhetoric, otherwise. Understand that when rhetoric is countered or
contradicted by action, the rhetoric is
nothing but words, presented to deceive . . . .
ala all that BS preceding the passage of ObamaCare.
While the
following news (per the NY Times article, cited below) is
disturbing, there really is no reason to
believe that this “run-around,” dictatorial and imperialistic move, will have any lasting value or force. Of
course, should this become accepted law
without the benefit of process, the
Utopian Progressives will use it to transfer wealth, while the those who do not agree with this
non-treaty treaty, will simply ignore it
or cut off funding for the program.
Understand
that such a “treaty,” pressed into force
without the benefit of American Law,
will move us a bit more to the Left,
but will not be any more a benefit to the World’s environmental economy
that was/is Kyoto . Again, 191 nations signed onto the Kyoto
Protocol, and look what happened . . . . .
nothing.
The Times article, found here, admits to the failure of Kyoto, and offers little hope, within the words of the article, that this new agreement/scheme between Obama and
the United Nations, will ever
succeed. The Times gives us this caveat:
In seeking to go around Congress to push his
international climate change agenda, Mr. Obama is echoing his domestic climate
strategy. In June, he bypassed Congress and used his executive authority to
order a far-reaching regulation forcing American coal-fired power plants to
curb their carbon emissions. That regulation, which would not be not final
until next year, already faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit filed on
behalf of a dozen states.
But unilateral action by the world’s largest economy
will not be enough to curb the rise of carbon pollution across the globe. That
will be possible only if the world’s largest economies, including India and China , agree to enact similar cuts.
So, the worrisome beat goes on, as the Utopian/World Without Borders
constituencies, continue to move away from democratic processes and real time
solutions to a problem created more in their minds eye, than in reality.
Sadly, there are no guarantees that sanity or
national sovereignty will survive the antics of the current academic onslaught. In fact,
if “we” cannot win the next two elections, chances are the evil amongst us, will rule the day.
