"very American companies or multinational companies must file a emmissions report to give to the EPA. EPA give that report to the United Nations that being done now"

And the UN is absolutely powerless to affect that report with ANY enforcement -- regardless of the level of emmissions, aren't they?

Since the revision of the Clean Air Act in 1990, the government has experimented with market-based approaches to provide financial incentives for companies that voluntarily comply with clean air standards and develop new technology for reducing emissions. In this case, utilities and companies that meet or exceed their targets for reducing nitrous oxide and hydrocarbons that produce smog are awarded credits that they can sell to other companies violating the standards to bring them into compliance.

Who are the Greenies? Surely it's not just a busload of bio majors who will be getting their masters in just a few more years. Maybe if their committee will buy off on their thesis.

Best to do a little homework on who foisted the UN and multilateral environmental treaty law in the first place. Here's a clue: it started under Roosevelt. The enviro-regulatory gambit goes farther back than that. Lenin started it before he had even completed consolidating power.

Just say who. I could guess or I could do some homework, but I don't know which book to read.

Rockefeller, British Royals, Prince Bernhard, Pews, Packards, Kennedys... basic old money interests.

I don't know which book to read.

LOL! You could try mine. For a primer on how it worked in the California energy market, try this post. For a discussion of how that works out in coming policies, try this post.

Whole families are behind this? Amazing. Most families can't agree on what to have for dinner.

I don't think I said "whole."

Money is the tie that binds. The foundations pull the strings and the heirs sit on the boards. Which individuals call those shots and how is less obvious and more variable.

If you don't want my book (which is more about how to fix this mess than who is playing it) you can try Undue Influence by Ron Arnold. It's well documented.
