EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulation and Copenhagen Treaty
Lisa Jackson's leadership at the EPA is discussed in the context of a Supreme Court ruling allowing the agency to regulate greenhouse gases. The hosts reference an article by Christopher Booker regarding the upcoming Copenhagen Treaty, which aims to cut global CO2 emissions in half by 2050. They argue that such drastic cuts would effectively shut down modern economic activity.
Corporate Sponsorship of Climate Summit, One World Government
Major corporations including Coca-Cola, BMW, and SAP are identified as primary sponsors and participants in the Copenhagen climate conference. The discussion posits that the Copenhagen Treaty aims for global governmental control over finance and climate, effectively transferring national sovereignty to a centralized world body.
Copenhagen Treaty Draft, Climate Change Policy Critique
The draft of the Copenhagen Treaty is examined, with the hosts criticizing the lack of scientific background among its primary organizers from Greenpeace. They argue the treaty is a financial mechanism designed to transfer wealth from the United States to developing nations under the guise of climate adaptation. The IPCC's findings on human-caused warming since 1750 are dismissed as a "scare" tactic.
Global Warming Skepticism and the Copenhagen Treaty
Journalist Christopher Booker reports that the upcoming Copenhagen Treaty aims to force G8 and G20 nations to cut CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050, which skeptics argue would require shutting down most industrial activity. Over 30,000 scientists, including the founder of the Weather Channel, are reportedly challenging the consensus on man-made global warming.
