Omissions: There are several highly-significant omissions, which jointly and severally establish that the central intent of The Process no longer has anything to do with the climate, if it ever had.

The new GOP House has the power of the purse. They had better be paying close attention to all of this. No money for socialist crap.

Oslo says:

The Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg is the head of the Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing, which made the plans for raising the 100 billion dollars. Other members of the group are Nicholas Stern, Lawrence H. Summers and George Soros. The wolves are already seated at the table.

Stoltenberg is a die-hard internationalist, a socialist-democrat, and is convinced that this brand of socialism should be exported to the rest of the world. And since most countries are not interested, why not skip the national level altogether and create it from the top, starting with the UN?

If a small mechanism can be put in place – say the power to collect and redistribute taxes for climate purposes, then this can easily be expanded to other areas – gradually shifting power from the national states to the UN.

And from democracy to a faceless, unelected bureaucracy.

“Just one problem with that. The US Constitution provides that, even if the President has signed a treaty, his signature is meaningless unless the treaty has been debated in the Senate, which must ratify it by the votes of at least 67 of the 100 Senators”.

Not hardly. Another radical UN treaty came out of the ‘92 Earth Summit, The Convention on Biological Diversity. It went to the Senate in ‘93 and was stopped cold when maps of the Wildlands Project were displayed on the floor of the Senate. It was never ratified but was implemented through Executive Order and existing statutory power. Remember Paul Bergala saying “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool huh?”

For perspective the current UN "budget", every two years is $5 billion but with all the various related mechanisms is closer to $14-$20 billion, biennially.

Imagine the trouble they could do with 5 to 20 times that sum: $100 billion! A good read on the UN budget process can be found here: U.N. Budget: Would You Believe $13.9 Billion?

Now that we toss trillions around, a few billion here and a few billion there seems unimportant in the grand scale of things but still as before "pretty soon we're talking about real money." ;-(
