A video explaining the dangers of a U.N. treaty proposal promoted by
President Obama that critics say would lead to a world government has
received more than 3.5 million views since WND broke the story on the
ominous possibilities, and now there is word from the Obama administration
the plan might not be going so smoothly.
In the video, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of the United
Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen Dec. 7-18 is to use concern
over "global warming" as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world
government.
At the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen "this December, weeks
away, a treaty will be signed," Lord Christopher Monckton told a Minnesota
Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul.
According to the Minnesota Free Market Institute, the video, as originally
posted, has collected 2.2 million views and almost 700 pages of comments,
but there also are more than 100 other cloned versions of Monckton's
comments on YouTube and the aggregate views exceed 3.5 million.
The video helped launch a national petition drive opposing the Copenhagen
treaty at NoCapAndTrade.com, with its more than 135,000 messages to Congress
opposing the plan. It's been discussed by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura
Ingraham and Michelle Malkin, among others.
Now there are indications the light of information being spread about the
potential problems is casting shadows on the proposal.
"The more people learn about the supposed issue of 'climate change' and how
green extremists intend to control our lives, the more skeptical they
become," said Jeff Davis, president of the Minnesota Majority.

Further, Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international
economic affairs, said in a Bloomberg report today the latest word on
Copenhagen is an "assessment by the leaders that it was unrealistic to
expect a full, internationally legally binding agreement to be negotiated
between now and when Copenhagen starts."
Davis said the impact of Monckton's warning is becoming apparent in other
ways. He cited a decision just days ago by key U.S. Senate Democrats who
confirmed it is unlikely there will be any additional action on
climate-change legislation this year. Obama had hoped to pass a
cap-and-trade energy taxation plan before the Copenhagen conference.
Bloomberg's report confirmed leaders from Asia have admitted a binding
global-warming accord isn't likely next month.
Obama attended a meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in
Singapore in which leaders proposed a two-stage approach to follow up the
failed Kyoto Protocol, which sought to manage emissions worldwide but never
earned the support of several of the world's leading energy-consuming
nations.
Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen told Bloomberg there may be no "legally
binding instrument," although a political agreement is possible.
The 1997 Kyoto plan is scheduled to expire in three more years, but years of
talks already held have failed to produce agreement on energy restrictions.
Instead, Rasmussen has suggested an agreement to cut greenhouse gases, with
an outline for a political agreement that would be the subject of further
negotiations.
At the Examiner, a blogger concluded, "The credibility of global warming
theories (and sanctimonious theorists) and any international climate
controls are fading with each passing day."
Monckton warned in the video that Obama supports the idea and is ready to
sign on the dotted line.
"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 regimes from the European Union will rubber-stamp it. Virtually
nobody won't sign it," Monckton told the audience of some 700 attendees.
"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."
He has warned the proposal would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive
wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for "climate debt"
to Third World countries and create a new "world government" to enforce the
treaty's provisions.
Davis also warned that while the apparent uncertainty over the treaty has
bought some time, it's not enough.
"Green extremists will be back in force trying to advance both domestic
cap-and-trade legislation and an international climate treaty that will rob
us of our liberties and grant government more control over our lives," he
said.
Monckton's lecture can be viewed online and his slides also can be accessed
on the Internet.
