Report: UN classifies climate change agenda

United Nations officials refuse to allow observers to read the draft agenda for the Rio+20 conference on climate change, after an earlier draft called for the economic "contraction" in major countries.

"It seems the UN has taken the final pre-conference draft and classified it!" Lord Monckton, a climate skeptic with the Center for a Constructive Tomorrow reported in an email. "We were promised transparency. This is unacceptable."

A proposal within an earlier draft agenda for the conference called for the "contraction and convergence for over- and under-consumers of natural resources," CFACT noted. Given President Obama's oft-repeated statistic that the United States produces 2 percent of the world's oil but uses 20 percent, this proposal would affect the American economy significantly.

"We aspire to nothing less than a global movement for generational change," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said earlier this year.

Another proposal would spread the cost of green investment throughout society, at an estimated cost of $1,300 per American family. "We call for the fulfilment of all official development assistance commitments, including the commitments by many developed countries to achieve the target of 0.7 per cent of gross national product for official development assistance to developing countries by 2015," the earlier draft says.

  • Oh boy...only $1300 for every American family. How is that supposed to work when only 50% are paying taxes now...how is that supposed to work when 50% are on some kind of welfare?

  • Obviously I'm missing something. This is something the UN has done. The only reference to Obama is a quote. Can you show me how this is Obama's problem?

    That's funny! Especially since I was reading earlier about how when he spoke at the Latino thing this week they were told to hurry up and eat their lunch since ALL forks had to be out of the room before he got there. They also couldn't have any dinner knives.

  • Because Obama is 100% with the UN on their Climate Change agenda.
