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.
Sometimes regulation is good. We have laws and regulations, often for some
pretty sound reasons. Of course it is abused and the regulators need to
themselves remain regulated. And I agree that onerous petty regulations are
awful and often serve nefarious occult purposes, such as restricting access to
markets etc. that have nothing to do with the stated purpose of these
regulations
However we need a framework of regulation and Law in order to operate in
complex societies; they serve a purpose and I, for one am glad that we do have
some of the laws and regulations we do have in place… others not so much.
Our main problem is not regulation, but corruption (which often uses regulation
as a useful tool in order to obtain its ends) – in our system we have a
revolving door between the regulators and the special interests they allegedly
are intended to regulate. This incestuous relationship has led us to a system
of government where the special interests seem to essentially write the Bills
that – often almost verbatim – become passed into law by our corrupt political
(and judicial) bodies.
What we are lacking – IMO – is regulation of the regulators. The system has
become corrupt. Corrupt regulation is really better lumped in with corruption
rather than regulation, to recognize it for what its end run purpose is! It is
corruption using regulation as a tool for achieving corrupt outcomes.
Regulations and Laws are tools societies use in order to promote goals and
proscribe certain behaviors and practices. Sometimes they are good; other times
they are bad. Like any tool it depends how they are used. One can employ a
hammer to drive in nails to construct a house… or to smash somebodies skull
during a violent robbery. Hammers are not bad or good per se… they are tools.

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.

Mass extinction...Alberto would be all for that. He'd just be against doing
anything to stop it. Anybody who'd propose that is a pinko atheist commy set
on world domination.
