Has Anyone Looked At The Consequences Of Climate Legislation?

Climate Depot posted an article on Friday quoting Al Gore speaking on July 7, 2009, in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times.  The article states:

"Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it "will dramatically increase the prospects for success" in combating what he sees as the "crisis" of man-made global warming.

"But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements." (Editor's Note: Gore makes the "global governance" comment at the 1min. 10 sec. mark in this UK Times video.)"

 

Global governance?  What exactly does that mean?  I personally like American governance. 

President Obama (along with Congress) agreed at the recent G8 to keep the earth's temperature from rising more than 2 degrees centigrade.  Wow, what power!!  When did we attain the ability to control the earth's temperature--we can't even predict the weather for next weeks baseball games.

The article also states:

The environmental group Friends of the Earth advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations during the 2007 UN climate conference.

"A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources," said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.

So fixing climate problems is just a matter of taking money from Americans and giving to the poorer countries of the world.  I hope someone in Congress has the brains to see this scheme for what it is and stop the Cap and Trade Bill.
