This week the United Nations begins two weeks of climate talks in Doha, Qatar. The primary goal of these meetings is to draw President Obama into accepting a redistribution plan designed extract money from the U.S. economy in the form of a global warming tax and doling out the cash to Third World nations.
"There will be expectations from countries to hear a new voice from the United States," said Jennifer Morgan, director of the climate and energy program at the World Resources Institute in Washington......

...The lame duck Obama administration will likely be all over this UN plan. As a U.S. senator in 2008, Obama sponsored a bill known as the "Global Poverty Act." The bill would have made levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.
Obama's bill would have required the president "to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, [and] the elimination of extreme global poverty..."
The primary vehicle for such a redistribution plan would be a tax or fee on businesses that produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of their activities. This could include power plants, refineries, cement manufacturers, and dairy farmers. Those increased costs of production would be passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices.
A tax on carbon dioxide would also be seen by politicians as a way to offset our severe budget deficit and staggering national debt. It would be sold to the American public in the name of saving the planet.
Obama may be another step closer to realizing his 2008 dream of massive global wealth redistribution.

TAX ON A HOAX???????????????? This is just plain CrAzY!
I am SO thankful that I am elderly and I won’t be around to see the demise of America....
Amen, CW, Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen, CW, Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!
I, too, am thankful for being old, and in a way I envy those who died prior to 2009 and didn't live to see this degradation of the USA.
I am also thankful that I have no children--and hence, no grandchildren--who will feel the full brunt of this disaster.
I guess we’ll spread money borrowed from China.
Going to tax the air we breath? So will there be a monitor on our snouts, or they send a federale` out to monitor us? They are so CRAZY! CO2 isn’t a poison or a “greenhouse” gas, it is harmless. Hold your breath, you don’t die! And I was watching Dr Zhivago the other night thinking Russia Could Use Some Glowbull Warming! I hate cold weather! I always live where it is a summertime climate.
The function of such welfare is twofold: to enrich citizens of the Global South and to impoverish Americans for their own good. In a 2006 paper, Holdren noted that reducing “GDP per person” — that is, cutting your personal wealth — also reduces Greenhouse Gas emissions”
But of course the pop, movie, sports, political Stars will still be flying around in private jets and riding in chaufffer driven limos! But not the rest of us! That is the plan! They feel better about themselves by keeping everyone else DOWN.
We could use a little global warming right about now.
