2015 is the Critical Year in the War on Carbon.
For over 20 years now we have watched in dismay as the chains of a suffocating international new order are being carefully forged.
First we had the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, which led to the Kyoto Agreement in 1997. Some 100 nations signed an agreement to limit industrial activity in developed nations and transfer resources to the rest. Kyoto was “improved” in Buenos Aires in 1998. This was probably the high water mark for climate alarmism and the green regiments led by Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Nicholas Stern, Ross Garnaut, Rajendra Pachauri, Maurice Strong, Barak Obama, the UN and their allies in the NGO’s and their mega-phones in the green media.
The green army looked invincible and amid great excitement they descended in thousands on Copenhagen in 2009, fully expecting to finally rout the climate dissidents. Copenhagen was their first comprehensive defeat, mainly because of opposition by China and India who could see where the road was leading.
Then in 2011, Canada, Russia and Japan announced they would withdraw from the Kyoto Agreement.
Paris 2015 is now the crucial battle, perhaps the climax of the climate wars. The extremists want a binding agreement for the world to reduce global emissions by “at least 60% below 2010 levels by 2050”. (For Australia, that would probably reduce our per capita prosperity to 25% of 2010 levels).
However, it is likely that the third world will get a free pass or even benefit from climate reparations, the EU will fudge their forest credits, India and China will give token agreements, half of the others will cheat on buying and selling “credits” and Obama’s targets will get mauled and delayed by the US Senate. The few fools left standing in front of the carbon firing squad will find they have agreed to take their societies back to the living conditions of the Victorian Era.
There are two conservative western nations who may stand against this climate non-sense – Canada and Australia. Canada has an election before Paris, so there is a chance that their government will be thrown out. So the focus of those wanting a world energy tax will be to remove Tony Abbott and replace him with someone greener with a one-world view, like Malcolm Turnbull. All the forces of the green-left have already focussed on this goal.
The world plotters also want there to be no get-out clauses for opponents to use when the signing politicians get chucked out in their next election.
We need to oppose every aspect of their agenda. In particular we need to demand that any international agreement on environment, energy taxes, emissions, climate reparations or sustainability has a “Get Out” Clause.
Maybe we need a Political Party named “Get Out”?
Get Out of the IPCC, Get Out of all Kyoto Obligations, Get Out of Direct Action, Get Out of Renewable Energy Targets, Get Out of Carbon Capture and Storage, Get Out of all Energy Subsidies, Get Out of Ethanol mandates, Get Out of all Government Climate Research and Propaganda, Get Out of Land Sterilisation.
And, once out of any of them, STAY OUT.
