Global warming/Kyoto treaty = UN's nutron bomb to bring down the USA and the productive in general.
Absolutely- it's all about shackling and penalizing Western economies, while giving a free pass to the worst polluters.
I also suspect that if you looked closely enough, you will find a UN-oil-for-food level scam a-borning in the trading of pollution credits- a way for the elites to skim millions of dollars off the top while pretending to help.
