Its taking a problem, like global warming, and exaggerating that problem, so as to impose regulation. Its regulation, as the power to control. You want to fight global warming, then invent and distribute better energy systems. This is not being done in a truly, sincere, way, otherwise we'd have seen tens of billions of dollars, per year, funding alternate energy, rather than a few billion. Paltry. What has been demanded is regulation. Doing things this way doesn't indicate rushing to fix a problem, but rushing to regulate the US.
The "regulation" has been carbon tax and carbon emission trading, i.e. economic incentives to push the market into investing in alternative energy. It's part of U.S. libertarian dogma that the government cannot do anything right, all regulation is evil, and the market is always the solution.
My prediction is that in the US,with the handing of the power to regulate to the UN, you'd see a back-reaction, against the political elites, that champion regulations, and not funding research sufficiently. The oil and coal companies that are despised, would then win, handily.
What do you mean "then", they're winning handily now. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
