Next, 25 to 40 pct "below 1990"!? In other words, back to the 70's to 60's in terms of industrial output? What was this guy's profession before he joined the UN ("United Nihilists")? Couldn't have had much to do with technology, or even arithmetic! Let alone with science or philosophy of any sort!

Then, “…developing countries need to take nationally appropriate mitigation actions in order to reduce the growth in their emissions substantially below business as usual.” — Here, an appropriate comment could not reach far beyond: "He's off his rocker!" — Why? These countries are still "developing" for a reason, namely in the past their "development" has been "not so hot"! That was while presumably pursuing "business as usual." Now they are apparently to be expected to stop developing any further at all?! Or, how else can they reduce emissions (for the poorest, what emissions?!) while working the energy intensive development they so desperately need? By employing technology they have not yet risen to producing themselves and which in part doesn't even exist yet anywhere? — Chairman Mao's "great leap forward comes to mind.

Finally, because this is becoming tiresome: “…developed countries must provide sufficient, measurable, reportable and verifiable financial and technological support to developing countries.” — Say again?! How? — We (developed countries) can supply all we want. They (un-/underdeveloped countries) wouldn't know what to do with it. That's a big part of the reason for their lagging development.

– Or, to put it another way, of what help would have been our trains, planes, cars, spaceships, computers, tractors, combines and power plants to the citizens of, say, 16th century London, Paris, Madrid, or Florence, if some miracle had suddenly dumped these things at their front doors? All these things consume vast amounts of energy, both in their creation and in their use. And, they take lots of finely tuned infrastructure (also of the social sort) to make them useful! Vast amounts of knowledge and skill are needed to organize their profitable employment! Barring this, their very presence becomes a bottomless pit for wasted effort.

– In short, we can't afford it, especially not while returning our levels to the sixties or seventies, and they can't absorb it, certainly not until they reach those levels to which we are expected to retreat. These crazy schemes by the world's "social engineering theorist elites" will become an unmitigated disaster — for the whole world! The result of that will be… well, there goes another Nobel Peace Prize!

– If "we need an equitable and accountable mechanism for distributing these financial and technological resources, taking into account the views of all countries in decision-making.”, then what would that be, the vote of the General Assembly? A committee of experts? Named by whom? Maybe by the countries furthest behind in development? Just to be "fair"? By their "rulers" intent on another fancy palace or fleet of jets? Haven't we seen enough of this already? Too much of it, in fact?!

– How about trying free market capitalism, world wide? It has a proven track record – 200 years from simple, manual, farming tools in a hostile environment to landing the first man on another planet – right here in the USA! Which system has ever beat that? Which could? All that was needed were "the rights of man" of John Locke's original meaning, enshrined in the Constitution to support them. The rest took care of itself!

I respectfully submit that Mr. Ban Ki-Moon was/is "nuts". He needs to be "relieved" by somebody who is, shall we say more "grounded", like: in reality! The century just passed saw enough "social and economic engineering" experiments to last another. –Over 100 million dead!– Any US official "deeding" American citizens' past or future "sweat" to such crazy schemes, be that from New York or from Copenhagen, needs to be impeached, sued, voted out, or otherwise hounded from office by the appropriate means. Ditto, any member of Congress ratifying such or similar "treaties". Beyond that, a precept of Common Law needs to be remembered, namely that contracts without "consideration" for one of the parties are void and unenforceable! Treaties are – or should be – of the same class!

I only hope Mr. Ban WAS "hitting the reset button". Maybe he is, after all, not as dumb as many have come to think! Or, has this late-hour retreat to do more with some suddenly foreseeable snafus, sort of an a priori face-saving? Or, could it be the insight that, like the proverbial "frog-to-be-cooked", our "temperature" will have to be raised slowly? Soon we shall know. It is now T-42, and counting!

Now that we gave billions of money to the New One World Government, maybe they will buy up America on the cheap, too. Just like Obama's friends and Al Gore's friends, Al Gore himself probably. Yeah, I want to know who is getting all that Federal Reserve Trillions of our dollars. Are they buying up America with our money too?

This is all illegal, the Supreme Court has not ruled that it is okay for government to enrich all their personal friends. Sue them.

They will not get the most important countries onboard for this, except, God Forbid, us. This is nothing but another scheme to drain wealth from global Citizens especially the U.S.

I sincerely hope we don't fall for this. We will be giving away more than we get.

NO GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.
