And the UN is an organ I have to take seriously because I live in Europe, and so much of what they decide changes our lives in many tangible ways, but that does not mean I agree with most they decide in the first place, as do most other people.

Exactly the reason many of us in America fight these inane declarations by the UN tooth & nail. There is a faction in this country who would gladly have us hand over the keys to the liquer cabinet to the UN and allow them to set policy in virtually ever sector. Some with this mindset have even held high positions in our government, in fact, some have even run (or are currently running) for the highest position of authority in our country. To me that is completely unacceptable, and to our United States Constitution, it is illegal. Our sovreignty is tantamount and OUR well being, prosperity, growth, and progress are to be held above the interests of any other nation where our leaders are concerned... or at least it always should be that way.

The European countries have handed their sovreignity over gladly to the European Union which, in turn, has offered them over to the UN to set policy for every EU nation. Welcome to slavery under your new king, globalism. Kyoto represents part of that slavery.

Also, carbon credits are the biggest farce & fraud going today. Talk about finding a way to stuff the pockets of the elitists! Take Al Gore as an example... He is one of the loudest proponents of man driven global warming & carbon offset credits & taxation. Not surprising, he also sits on the board of some of the companies which collect these offsets and he owns stock in said companies as well. He's making money by the bucketfulls off of gullible rubes who think they're "making a difference" by donating a couple of bucks for every car trip they make to offset the CO2 they generate, never realizing that only pennies to the dollar are used of that money with the rest going to company board members under the auspices of opperating expenses and stock dividends. SCAM!

HeY, I posted the same article on GLP!
Great find!Its very important to let the people know about the true agenda behind 'global warming'.
Thank you for spreading the word.

Hmm, when a major politician from the 'establishment' raises a ruckus and crys wolf I'm also not eager to believe him. So I'm going to concede there might be something for me to change my mind on the issue.

thing is, the climate IS changing, to my perception anyway..

when I was a kid, the weather would be hot during the summertime school break.

but these days, juli and august are wetter, have less sun, and colder then I remember them, and now in September it's allmost like a heatwave.. it's now 23:44 here and I'm soaking in sweat, only wearing a T-shirt, and not using any heating devices.

And according to our meteorological service, the amount of sunshine hours was allmost half of normal, so I'm not blowing smoke out of my bottom orifice, either.

I wonder if the weather pattern is also changing in other countrys beside Belgium where I live. And most of all I wonder what is causing this..

HAARP ? Pollution ? An increase of the Sun's intensity ?

I've heard logical conclusions linking this to all of the above, it's hard to see the trees through the forest :s

But, before our goverment signed the Kyoto protocol, most of our rivers where clinically dead. and now, with a few years of effort, which did cost us, taxpayers, there are again populations of fish thriving in rivers that where among the most poluted of our country.

I think that our goverment was right in signing, and I do feel results are showing in a real way, which can only benefit the health of myself, my relatives, and my countrymen, and, since no land is a true island, by extension, also to the neighbouring countrys.

Why continue to poison your own land, where your children must one day live on, when your industry has the means to put an end to it but refuses to do so 'because it undermines their competetive edge' ?

It all circles back down to the Allmighty Dollar
