In just a few weeks, President Obama will join other world leaders for a climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.  At that COP 15 conference, he will likely be asked to sign a new climate change treaty that appears to establish a world governmental organization that would enforce environmental regulations and enforce the redistribution of wealth from the “developed” countries, namely the United States, to the “developing” countries.

In a video that’s beginning to gain attention among conservatives and all others who wish to preserve the sovereignty of the United States, Lord Christopher Monckton tells why the COP15 meeting in Copenhagen could be vital to the future of America.

When you look at the document that the COP (Conference of the Parties) is based upon, it’s easy to see why Lord Monckton is concerned.  You can reach the original agreement through the link below and read it for yourself.  According to the UN’s website, the U.S. became a party to a weaker form of this treaty in March 1994.

Original UN COP Agreement:

Article 3.3: “Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing such measures…”  In other words, the COP is asking members to not allow facts from getting in the way of its global climate policy.

Article 3.5: “The Parties should cooperate to promote a supportive and open international economic system that would lead to sustainable economic growth and development in all Parties, particularly developing country Parties, thus enabling them better to address the problems of climate change.”  In Article 3 of the original Convention, the agreement exhorts members to, apparently, look toward a single world economy that would better help the “developing” nations adapt their individual economic systems to cope with climate change.  Given this goal, it should come as no surprise that nations are now meeting to remove the dollar as the world standard.

Article 4.1(i): “[All Parties, taking into account their common but differentiated responsibilities and their specific national and regional development priorities, objectives and circumstances, shall:] Promote and cooperate in education, training and public awareness related to climate change and encourage the widest participation in this process, including that of non- governmental organizations.”  Member nations appear to be required to promote climate change indoctrination, thereby “educating” the people as to the nature of the problem.  An Inconvenient Truth and The Story of Stuff are among those methods that have been used to brainwash nicely.

Article 4.3: “The developed country Parties and other developed Parties included in Annex II shall provide new and additional financial resources to meet the agreed full costs incurred by developing country Parties in complying with their obligations under Article 12, paragraph 1. They shall also provide such financial resources, including for the transfer of technology, needed by the developing country Parties to meet the agreed full incremental costs of implementing measures that are covered by paragraph 1 of this Article…”  The emphasis was added by the author.  Again, this global climate myth is being pushed by Marxists, and wealth redistribution on a global scale is the goal.

Article 4.7: “The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties.”  I foolishly believed this agreement to be about climate change, when all along, it was simply about lifting the socioeconomic well-being of third world countries and ending poverty.  Our liberal establishment can’t end the “war on poverty” in our own nation, the most wealthy and gifted country on the planet.  What makes the UN believe that they can use our money to do better for the world?  The dirty secret, of course, is that their real motivation for such Marxist ideals is to gain power over the industrialized nations, specifically the United States.

Article 7.2: “The Conference of the Parties, as the supreme body of this Convention, shall keep under regular review the implementation of the Convention and any related legal instruments that the Conference of the Parties may adopt, and shall make, within its mandate, the decisions necessary to promote the effective implementation of the Convention.”  The term “supreme body” is particularly disturbing, more so when you read the next sections, taken directly from the current “treaty” to be signed at COP15.

New COP 15 Treaty on Climate Change, December 2009:

Page 18: “36. The new agreed post-2012 institutional arrangement and legal framework to be established for the implementation, monitoring, reporting and verification of the global cooperative action for mitigation, adaptation, technology and financing, should be set under the Convention. It should include a financial mechanism and a facilitative mechanism drawn up to facilitate the design, adoption and carrying out of public policies, as the prevailing instrument, to which the market rules and related dynamics should be subordinate, in order to assure the full, effective and sustained implementation of the Convention.”

Page 18: “37. The new institutional arrangement will provide technical and financial support for developing countries…”

Page 18-19: “38. The scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention will be based on three basic pillars: government; facilitative mechanism; and financial mechanism, and the basic organization of which will include the following:
(a) The government will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.
(b) The Convention’s financial mechanism will include a multilateral climate change fund including five windows: (a) an Adaptation window, (b) a Compensation window, to address loss and damage from climate change impacts, including insurance, rehabilitation and compensatory components, (c) a Technology window; (d) a Mitigation window; and (e) a REDD window, to support a multi-phases process for positive forest incentives relating to REDD actions.
(c) The Convention’s facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation; (b) a long-term REDD process; (c) a short-term technology action plan; (d) an expert group on adaptation established by the subsidiary body on adaptation, and expert groups on mitigation, technologies and on monitoring, reporting and verification; and (e) an international registry for the monitoring, reporting and verification of compliance of emission reduction commitments, and the transfer of technical and financial resources from developed countries to developing countries. The secretariat will provide technical and administrative support, including a new centre for information exchange.”

The United States has sent in a list of addendums to the Convention that will be considered in December, but, like the health care plan passed last week by the Senate Finance Committee, the list of addendums isn’t a list at all.  There are several sections that are either vague or explain they will be filled in later.  Others are just disturbing.

For example, in Section 4 on Financing, the document begins, “With respect to funding, the U.S. is keenly aware of the need for a dramatic increase in the flow of resources available to developing countries to catalyze both mitigation and adaptation actions at a scale that will be necessary to address the climate challenge.” Apparently, our government has made it a common practice to deliver legislation and documentation that is incomplete and, as a result, nebulous.  You can read the U.S. list here.

I urge you to contact your senators and inform them of this outrageous attempt to subvert American sovereignty.  Any treaty signed by the president and approved by Congress is, by Constitutional definition, the law of the land and supercedes U.S. law.  Like the CIFTA treaty that could make the 2nd Amendment impotent, this new climate change agreement could put the economy of the United States–and its citizens–under UN control.
