    Climate Change Plan Will Shift Trillions to form New World Economy

    FOXNews.com - U.N. 'Climate Change' Plan Would Likely Shift Trillions to Form New World Economy - United Nations

    And so the horror story begins as many of us have predicted. Gordon Brown spelled it out yesterday. Ireland, as an exporter of goods will be economically decimated.

    A United Nations document on "climate change" that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes — all under the supervision of the world body.

    Those and other results are blandly discussed in a discretely worded United Nations "information note" on potential consequences of the measures that industrialized countries will likely have to take to implement the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Treaty, after it is negotiated and signed by December 2009. The Obama administration has said it supports the treaty process if, in the words of a U.S. State Department spokesman, it can come up with an "effective framework" for dealing with global warming.
    Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
    Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But Conscience asks the question - is it right?
    And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;but one must take it simply because it is right. -MLK

    the 'horror' or a sustainable energy efficient and environmentally friendly economy?

    Holy sh1t. we must stop this NOW!!!

    Get real for a minute. Ireland will not be 'decimated' by a switch to sustainable development.

    If we play our cards right, we could be massive beneficiaries (with foresight, unfortunately something this government is sorely lacking)
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.
