When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made the announcement this week that it has declared carbon dioxide (CO2) and five other gases as “a danger to human health,” it fired the most lethal salvo yet into what little sovereignty remains of our constitutional republic. With her so-called “endangerment finding” declaration, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson made clear that this declaration will lead to new regulations under the Clean Air Act to govern emission standards for cars, power plants, crude-oil refineries, chemical plants and all other “environmental suspects” in the economic engine that drives the U.S. economy. It appears that the act of exhaling when breathing will now become regulated.
In making this announcement on the same day in which the United Nations climate change conference began in Copenhagen, Denmark, Jackson was making it clear that when Obama attends the last day of the conference, he will be able to unilaterally commit the United States to a binding, international treaty that will begin the process of ceding our national sovereignty to a body of UN bureaucrats. It is designed to make Obama look like “the savior” since the coming EPA regulations will practically force the US into signing a “Cap-and-Trade” bill to lower its carbon footprint to such a low target that will make U.S. economic growth virtually unsustainable.
In light of the recent ClimateGate revelations, in which some 3,500 emails from the Climate Change Unit (CCU) at Britain’s University of East Anglia revealed the extent to which man-made global warming backers went to illegally skew real climate data in order to cover and hide the truth, the EPA should not be making this announcement, let alone hinting at further regulation. Because “man-made” climate change is not real, and every delegate at the UN conference knows it, the EPA’s actions are a means to hurry a final agreement before the masses really discover just how they have been lied to about the “urgency” of “global warming.”
It is an absolute scandal that the head of the UN panel of climate scientists have decided to attack the entire ClimateGate affair as nothing more than a way to undermine the credibility of the organization. Despite the fact that they were caught red-handed from the content in these emails, these hypocrites choose instead to lash out at those who exposed the fraud rather than try to come clean on what really is going on. The emails are directly from “respected” climate scientists, who, in their own words, exchanged messages that say real climate temperatures have not really risen to dangerous levels. Rather than try to find out why this is the case, they decided to engineer methods to keep all opposing viewpoints from being argued while covering real data with false data to match their own desired “results.”
The lack of any acknowledgement by the delegates at Copenhagen, and by our own President and the members of his radical leftist administration have been deafening. If this is the so-called “science” on which Obama happily bases his actions in leading our national sovereignty to slaughter in a binding treaty, without question and without the support of Congress, it is akin to an act of treason against our constitutional republic.
The Copenhagen conference is not about “man-made global warming,” it is about setting up an international, global supervisory body under UN auspices, in order to facilitate the transfer of national wealth and sovereignty from wealthy nations to the Third World. It is not about trying to save the planet, rather it is a means of controlling individual freedoms and getting your income in a global tax in order to transfer your income to bring about a lower standard of living in the developed world to match that of poor and corrupt nations. In reality, this is about punishing success and free enterprise, especially the United States
Under the Treaty Clause in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, the President of the United States is only empowered to make treaties with other nations only after obtaining the consent of a two-thirds supermajority of the United States Senate. This has not yet happened, nor will it before Obama goes to Copenhagen with the EPA declaration. Yet the Obama administration has indicated that the President will sign a binding treaty which will force the U.S. to commit to a twenty percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020. Of course, the socialist European climate scammers are excited by Obama’s arrival in Copenhagen armed with bureaucratic, top-down command-style regulation rather than a legitimate mandate based on Congressional legislation. After all, they are unelected power-hungry bureaucrats who are excited to see this president doing everything in his power to literally destroy the liberty, sovereignty and power of the United States from within.
This is it Americans, pick your side! I do not want to be an unrepresented serf do you?
I believe it is illegal for a regulatory agency to alter its “regulations” in any significant manner without submitting those regulations for approval to the Legislature. This is standard language in laws creating regulatory agencies to prevent the executive branch from superseding the legislature’s role.
Does any attorney familiar with the statutes creating the EPA know if these clauses are included in the statutes?
Be Ever Vigilant!
Link to WSJ Asia editorial discussing the "treaty"
Obama can sign whatever treaty he wants. It will not be binding until ratified, which it won’t be.
Remember, Clinton signed the Kyoto treaty and it went nowhere.
1. draw the USA into an expensive war with no manufacturing base to sustain it
2. install a puppet executive in the white House
3. topple the USdollar by an overburden of debt and US Fed. sanction "run on the banks" under the guise of "stimulus"
4. pour on a fresh new robust attack of environmental terrorism in the form of Climate Change
They can call it an ‘agreement and not a ‘treaty’ (as it has been rumored) he is still acting treasonous. What is so ironic is Obama says the constitution is fundamentally flawed... as he will be committing treason...

and he is supposedly a constitutional expert!
I think that #1 and #3 are the same as #4. Man - and some folks thought Vietnam was a stupid war.
its called the interstate commerce clause. It is interpreted to usurp everything else in the constitution.
IE , the constitution is redundant

I have heard this over and over. polifactcheck.org spouts this. This congress has already basically signed off on this idea.
I hope you’re right but I doubt it.
It is 0bama risking all- politically and his EPA just usurped Congress and got away with it so I highly doubt he thinks he needs anything ratified. When he signs this thing, tell me will one person speak up and call him treasonous and call for hearings?
Lincoln’s “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people...”
has become
Government of the elite, by vote fraud, and imposed/inflicted on the people...
ping to respond to post 6 please.
Headline should read. “EPA Declares War on American Economy.”
GLAD THIS IS HAPPENING UNDER AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION INSTEAD OF A MCCAIN ONE. LET PEOPLE SEE THE LEFTISTS FOR WHO THEY ARE.
Again, he can sign whatever he wants. Treaties are always signed first, and then ratified.
I am quite confident that whatever comes out of Copenhagen will not be ratified, if there is even an agreement to sign, which I tend to doubt.
I’m also confident that the EPA will eventually be stripped of its ability to regulate “greenhouse gasses” by Congress. Congress does not like being pushed around and usurped. Most people don’t realize that the Cap and Tax bill passed by the House did just that.
BTW - I hope I’m right too. ;-)
