In early December, our Pulitzer Peace Prize winning President Barack Hussein Obama (mmm – mmm – mmm) will be attending the Conference of the States’ Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen. There he is expected to sign an international climate change treaty which will completely undermine our national sovereignty. This 200 page document has three very disconcerting foundational parts. First, it establishes a government of unelected officials appointed by the UN who will govern the member States. Second, it establishes “climate debt” which demands that wealthier industrialized member states must annually pay poorer less developed member states up to 2% of their national GDP because of their culpability in altering the climate. Third, the right to enforce all economic and environmental policies this new government would impose on member states.
However, the President’s signature alone won’t bind the United States to this unwanted unnecessary treaty — our Constitution requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate to ratify it before becoming law. So what’s so horrible if the Senate succeeds in ratifying a climate change treaty? The Constitution mandates that all international treaties shall take precedence over it. In other words, our liberty and prosperity are looking down the barrel of a cannon poised to utterly destroy them. We must remain vigilant and let our Senators know that we do not want this country altering treaty ratified when it comes before them.
I’ll keep you updated as events unfold.
