[...] The draft Copenhagen Framework Convention on Climate Change establishes an international oversight body simply called “the government.” As the Convention draft states: “The government will be ruled by the COP [Conference of the Parties],” which will execute “public policies . . . to which the market rules and related dynamics should be subordinate.”
Like most big-government schemes, the Copenhagen Convention unleashes new agencies, panels, and other bureaucracies bearing such acronyms as EBFTA, TPRDA, TPRDM, and UNFCCC. The treaty even invokes “the NAMAs and the NAPAs” — sadly, not a reference to a nearly homonymous ’60s pop group. The Executive Body on Finance and Technology for Mitigation (EBFTM) pursues this riveting mission: “To organize, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the implementation of the comprehensive framework for mitigation, including the enabling means of financing, technology, and capacity-building.”
[...]
Regarding revenues, the draft Convention offers options that negotiators will narrow into a final agreement. These include penalties and fines, a 2 percent tax on international financial-market transactions, a global carbon tax from which “the LDCs [Less Developed Countries] shall be exempt,” “an international adaptation levy on airfares, except on journeys originating from or destined to LDCs,” and “mandatory contributions” of 0.5 to 1 percent of GDP. Today, this tax alone would equal $72 billion to $144 billion in brand-new, annual, compulsory U.S. foreign-aid payments.

By 1913, 36 States had ratified the 16th Amendment to the Constitution. In October, Congress passed a new income tax law with rates beginning at 1 percent and rising to 7 percent for taxpayers with income in excess of $500,000.

Once they have an independent source of tax revenue, the next step will be an international police force, with authority to make arrests and transport the arrested to the ICC.
I suspect we will need a device attached to each of us to track our purchase and use of CO2.
I see a full blown tax revolt coming in the near future.
I suspect they will never attach sh*t to me. They will have to kill me first.
Similar to obama’s blackmail if climate bill does not pass EPA will regulate us to destruction.
If Copenhagen does not hand over trillions to UN, they will tax us anyway. Who in the Hell do they think they are?
I will tell you who, Obama’s next position, ruler of New World Order. Obama will push for legislation and money for the UN powers, so he can then takeover once he done finishing off America. He will then enact all the powers that everyone thought harmless.
I wondered why Obama has no concern for his family living in the US after his destruction. He won’t be living here. The UN will allow him king of the world as he always wanted. IF he can get enough legislation passed or through fraudulent means.
JMHO!
It's more like the Conference of the Pirates.
I want to make sure everyone has seen these.
Believe it or not, the UN just whined that climategate is the Russian’s fault. http://tw0.us/5Yx
Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after ‘Danish text’ leak.It is being done in secret. Clearly the intention is to get Obama and leaders of other rich countries to muscle it through http://tw0.us/5Xp

I agree. Even the libtards in the Senate know that such an issue would never pass the Senate. Once the people find out about this en mass, the revolt will make the 2009 "Tea Parties" look like a child's tea party.

Report: President Obama Has the Clear Legal Authority to Make a Binding Commitment for Greenhouse Gas Reductions in Copenhagen Without Waiting for Congress
COPENHAGEN— The Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute released a report today demonstrating that President Obama has clear legal authority to commit the United States to reducing greenhouse gas pollution. The report, titled Yes, He Can: President Obama’s Power to Make an International Climate Commitment Without Waiting for Congress, concludes that the President need not wait for Congress to act before taking strong action to reduce U.S. emissions.
The report will be released in Copenhagen this evening at a side event hosted by Greenpeace.
Where: Niels Bohr
When: Tuesday, 8 December, 21:00-21:30 (Copenhagen time)
“President Obama’s hands are not tied by Congress’s lack of action or the grossly inadequate cap-and-trade bills currently under debate. President Obama can lead, rather than follow, by using his power under the Clean Air Act and other laws to achieve deep and rapid greenhouse emissions reductions from major polluters,” said Center attorney Kevin Bundy, the report’s lead author. “Obama can use his authority to make a binding agreement in Copenhagen without additional action from Congress. The Constitution and existing domestic environmental laws give President Obama all the power he needs to join with other nations in making a real commitment to solve the climate crisis.”
The report cites prominent legal scholars and U.S. Supreme Court opinions recognizing the President’s broad power to make binding international agreements that do not need to be ratified by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate. For example, the President could enter into either a “congressional-executive” agreement under authority already granted by Congress, or a “sole executive” agreement based on his own constitutional powers.
The report also details the President’s broad authority to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions under existing environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Environmental Policy Act. The release of the report follows yesterday’s important finding by the Environmental Protection Agency that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. That decision will facilitate comprehensive measures to curb greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act.
“The President has the ultimate responsibility for enforcing domestic environmental laws, and those laws give him a wide variety of options for reducing greenhouse gas pollution,” said Bundy. “All he has to do is promise the international community to use the authority he already has.”
“It simply isn’t true that President Obama cannot make a commitment in Copenhagen. Yes, he can, and if the world is to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, he must.”
Since when can the UN levy taxes on the United States?
I was under the impression that only Congress could levy a tax on Americans.
So the EPA would enforce Obama’s treaty? I knew about this. What do you think would happen if he does this? There are already talks of EPA not having any right to regulate anyone regardless of the clean air act.
Remember the billions Obama gave to IMF funding that required congress okay, then later Obama admin said they did not need approval and it was dropped? Obama cares nothing for law.
Obama makes my skin crawl.
That was yesterday—today is a “new day” and apparently the obammy man can do just about anything he wants to do.
