I agree.
There are many benefits that people seem to miss about a single government.
One main one: If there were global standards on working conditions (such as a global minimum wage) there would no longer be any great incentive to outsource/offshore work to countries with cheap labour rates.
Another: And I know most people would object to this one... If there were a single peacekeeping force to replace all national armies, then we could say goodbye to nuclear weapons for good.
Military budgets could eventually be scaled back and diverted to science and exploration.
Sending wealth to developing nations is definitely a step in the right direction.
And I don't see why any Americans would care. They're broke anyway. Given enough time they might be able to claim developing world status

The NWO will happen during an intense emergency, like war (civil or not) or a natural disaster, not a meeting on CLIMATE CHANGE
The UN Funds and Programmes should be streamlined and merged in order to avoid overlappings, increase the efficiency and enhance the role of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The mobilization of these resources may require development oriented special allocations of SDRs, some forms of international taxation such as a carbon tax or a tax on the production or sale of armaments, or a small profit tax surcharge on the income of large corporations

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.)

It must be an odd life to think the end is just around the next corner, and then the next, and then the next.
Besides, we all know that the world government is going to be instituted forcefully on February 12th, 2010.

I've also seen you post on stories sourced from mainstream outlets - is it your contention that those sites ARE reliable?
By dismissing out of hand because you do not like the source, you are hardly "denying" ignorance - more embracing it...
