Here's how to cure global warming. Increase particulate pollution, which reflects sunlight back into space.

Translation:The European countries want money from you and I, under a false premise!
It's about redistributing wealth | 11:28 a.m. Nov. 2, 2009
Again this agenda is revealed for what it is... Yet another attempt by egg-heads at some institution to decide what is 'fair' and redistribute the wealth according to what THEY think is fairer.

Did anyone make it to the END of the article where it said, "The question of financing for poor countries also was on the delegates' agenda. Thirty of the draft agreement's 180 pages deal with financing".

"The European Union on Friday called for euro5 billion to euro7 billion ($7.5 billion to $10.3 billion) in climate change aid to poorer nations over the next three years, scaling up to euro100 billion, or nearly $150 billion a year, by 2020.

De Boer called the EU proposal a good step, but said it lacked specifics. The EU also failed to specify how much it would contribute to the fund.

"I don't think the EU put enough on the table," he said.

So obviously this is MOSTLY about taking MONEY from some nations and giving it to OTHER nations.

It's bad enough when we do this on a national level, but INTERNATINAL Wealth_Redistribution??? Mandated by people we didn't elect??? Give me a break!

This is a "No Win" situation for the United States.

WE get blamed if we are NOT able to turn Global Warming around (which it's likely we won't be able to no matter how hard we try).

We get blamed IF we don't give enough money to the POORer countries and THEY continue to contribute to GW.

We get blamed IF we don't go along with WHATEVER income redistribution plan these International Socialists decide is "Fair".

Basically the ONLY way we DON'T get blamed for EVERYTHING is if.... by some miracle, we give our wealth to other nations AND they are happy with that AND GW completely goes away (AND it isn't replaced by some OTHER Boogie-Man issue we can't prove or disprove but is conveniently blamed on the developed nations which can be used by the Left to make everybody feel guilty for being Human).

Basically... no matter how this goes... it doesn't look "Good" for us.

If our "beloved" President Obama signs the global warming treaty, good-bye to American independence--forever! We then become part of a Global World Government, and taxed by other countries that need/want our money. Sorry, but the US is so far in debt, there just isn't enough money to spread around! Besides, I like freedom, and honor those founding Fathers that wrote our Constitution. I honor those Americans that have given their lives to protect that freedom. Please everyone, encourage our President NOT to sign that agreement--no matter what you believe about "global warming". Human beings didn't cause it, nor can we stop it.

To "Upset".
"... encourage our President..." How do we do that? He's going to sign it, even if 99% of us "encouraged" him not to. It's his prime directive to destroy the middle-class in our once prosperous country. You're right about all the rest of your comments.

This article indicates the Nobel peace prize was a bribe to turn the US over to a World government.
