Obama's team of negotiators at the United Nations Climate Change Conference may agree to a tax on foreign currency transactions, designed to pay for a "Green Climate Fund," that would fall disproportionately on American travellers and businesses, according to a group attending the conference that is skeptical of the UN position on global warming.
Negotiators at the conference are considering "a new tax on every foreign currency transaction in the world," according to the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). "Every time you travel abroad, you'll have to pay a climate tax," explains CFACT, the group that released the "Climategate" emails. "More importantly, every time we import goods, every time we export our fine products (think jobs) we will do so with a climate tax skimming off the top."
European countries would evade much of the tax burden, however, because "transactions within the Eurozone won't have to pay this new tax."
CFACT suggests that Obama is open to implementing this tax and similar policies in the absence of a full climate treaty, which would require congressional approval. "We have learned that while many have discounted this conference, knowing that a full climate treaty is difficult to achieve especially with a U.S. Senate that will not vote to ratify," CFACT says. "Obama and his fellow climate travelers are working around the Senate and planning to stick America with the bill."
Nawww
Obama, anti-christ(ian) pagan gaia ?
Nawww
Un-Constitutional treaty without Senate vote?
Nawww
Traitor!
That should all but kill the tourist industry and put a damper on imports.
Nice going moron, you’ve done it again.
You have to let your Local, State, and Federal Reps know about this taxation scam.

Without the House in his pocket any-longer, this will not happen. Such an agreement would take the full support of Congress. So this is a story about what Obama wants, but not a story about what Obama will never get.
Good GOD Almighty, if this alone doesn’t deserve articles of impeachment, nothing does.
I suspect the UN ,which IS the climate conference, will come up with a tax at the UN and obama would simply acquiesce
Legally, internationally and nationally I have no idea how that would function but would not be surprised to see the UN try to pull it off.
The only reason the UN has been such a supporter of the ‘Global Warming’ scam was to establish a taxing authority. I will be the first to predict that only a select number of countries will be subject to the tax. Any ‘developing’ country will be exempt from paying such a tax as will their citizens.
Who are the greatest polluters and global warming criminals? The developing turd world..... which also means the islamic nations of the UN.
