Bankrupting The Industrialized World - Climate Change

In other words, it keeps coming down to money. First and foremost, those who are deemed by the conference to be “haves” must hand over their wallets to the “have-nots.” In this context, “transparency”is not on the side of those who would be the recipients of such a redistribution of wealth, but on the part of those being coerced to fund it. Some of the schemes (such as one proposed by the World Bank) would call for transfers of as much as $500 billion a year. The UN will not be satisfied with mere promises to bankrupt the industrialized world: It demands to see results.

Given the obsessive way in which conference planners for Copenhagen and Cancun have focused on the massive financial transfers that are integral to their entire environmental scheme, it is clear that while any environmental dividend from their agenda is dubious at best, the global economic impact of their scheme is certain. The proposed course of action would be ruinous for the floundering American economy, which is already reeling from “bailouts” and the looming disaster associated with President Obama’s rewiring of the nation’s health care system. Amidst the distractions of this year’s election cycle, the long-term threat to American prosperity posed by the Left-wing agenda of the Obama administration and the greed of so-called developing nations, Americans dare not forget the lessons of last year’s Copenhagen conference. Only education of the citizenry and public pressure on elected officials can stop the globalists’ environmental agenda if a treaty comes out of this year’s Cancun conference.

Mr Su praised the offer by rich nations to cut emissions as part of the Copenhagen Accord, which limits global warming to below 2 degrees from pre-industrial levels but doesn’t specify a date.

“But these goals are certainly still far removed from the expectations of developing countries and from what is required according to science,” he said.

The UN says the current targets would not prevent a temperature rise of more than 2 degrees, which the EU and some experts have defined as the threshold of dangerous climate change, auguring worsening droughts, floods and rising sea levels.

Maybe they know the earth did not come with a thermostat?  A high/low setting?

Isn't the human population a lot more today than in 'pre-industrial' times?
