Good grief. I might have known it.

First I heard of that. Thanks. It just keeps getting better and better.

From Ian Murray’s post:

4. LOST would accomplish backdoor implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and far beyond. A claim before a LOST tribunal that industrial CO2 emissions are leading to increasing acidification of the oceans and thereby threatening the world’s marine ecological resources would almost certainly be decided in the affirmative. Other nations could decide how to respond to such a decision. In the U. S., a private party, such as an environmental pressure group, could file suit in federal court to force the federal government to implement the tribunal’s decision. This is because in the U. S., ratified treaties have the same status as the Constitution. This is not true of any other country.

Americans need to start thinking about our second amendment. Bullets contain lead. The un can go after our guns by claiming lead runoff is polluting our oceans. Think about. They already made several grabs at our guns. This lead run off angle will give them another battle to fight.
