Who in hell are UN 'advisers' to imagine American citizens are inclined to be their slaves to begin with? OK, they got the idea from Obama, but we don't agree with him, and his position is obviously temporary. The UN is bad enough, but affiliating with Soros puts your psyche in question, Mr. Huhne. Yes, Gordon Brown is on record saying the City of London's health depends on the success of 'carbon trading,' so no need to pretend this isn't all about money.

"A UN committee has today recommended that the world's government's introduce new taxes on carbon allowances and financial transactions in order to help raise the $100bn a year pledged at last year's Copenhagen Summit to help poor countries cope with the effects of climate change.
- The UN Secretary-General's High-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing (AGF), comprising 21 members including British climate secretary Chris Huhne, international financier George Soros and influential economist Lord Stern, has spent around 10 months examining the mechanisms industrialised countries could use to raise up to $100bn a year from 2020.
Today, the committee released its final report, telling Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon that it would be possible to raise $100bn a year, but only with greater international collaboration and the introduction of global carbon floor price of $25 per tonne.
- The report claims that by 2020 between $2bn and $27bn a year could be raised from financial transaction taxes on foreign exchanges, $10bn could be generated from new levies on the shipping and aviation industries, and around $30bn would be raised from carbon taxes or carbon allowance auctions.
It also argues that Treasuries around the world could free up between $3bn and $8bn a year for climate-related investments by axing fossil fuel subsidies.
- In addition, the report suggests that the $100bn of government-backed financing will create huge commercial opportunities for the private sector, triggering an extra $500bn a year of private sector investment.
Huhne hailed the release of the report as "a significant step in the quest for an ambitious climate change deal".
"Raising the $100bn of climate finance needed by 2020 will be crucial
- to help developing countries deal with the impacts of climate change and to put their economies on a low carbon footing," he said.
"This report quite clearly sets out a system of climate financing and makes clear that concerted global action and a carbon price of at least $25 is required to achieve the necessary transformation in the global economy.""...
- On the voice of the so-called 'poor countries' in Copenhagen: 12/20/09
12/20/09: "Last week's Copenhagen summit surrendered all pretense to significance when it turned into a showcase for dictators' attempts to greenwash their bloody regimes. Granting the spotlight to the tyrannical trio of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez so they could express their
- profound concern for Mother Earth is like asking former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his prostitute Ashley Dupre to propound upon the state of marriage.
Mr. Mugabe used the opportunity to blame global warming for the deaths of millions of his subjects. No doubt his country turned from food exporter to famine because of coal electric plants in Idaho. Of course, driving thousands of farmers from their land, rejecting modern farming methods, confiscating his people's wealth and turning his nation into a police state have little to do with Zimbabwean poverty.
- "When we spew hazardous emissions for selfish, consumptionist ends, in the process threatening land masses and atmospheric space of smaller and weaker nations, are we not guilty of gross human rights violations?" Mr. Mugabe asked. In case you didn't recognize him, that's the good dictator, the campaigner for human rights and pollution control....
To call the eco-friendly posturing of Third World dictators a farce is to understate the scandal. That the audience greeted such
- self-serving insanity with applause and that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama sanctified the gathering
with their presence exposes a dark side to the green agenda. Global-warming theology is not just a fraud; it attacks freedom and encourages dictatorship."
- (Those who buy a word of the money grabbing criminalization of America belong in a hospital for the criminally insane or are proof you can brainwash people into believing anything-with enough time and money.
- Middle East countries have people who think publicly stoning someone to death is fine.
- Even ClimateGate scientists know this whole thing is baseless. Some have said so, but their words have been glossed over because of the vast sums of money involved, including and well documented organized crime profits. ed.)

- "What is at stake in the Greens ‘revolution’ is the heart and soul of western civilisation,
- What is also at stake is the economic system that has resulted in the creation of wealth and prosperity for
- the most people in human history."
