Remember the scene in 'Terminator' where Reese blows up the fuel truck Ahnoldt is driving? Wow! Everything's okay now, right? Nuh-unnnnnhhh ... Out of the flames rises ... the 'Terminator' again. Well, guess what's rising again - the U.N.'s money grab to 'fight' (guessed what yet?) ... TA-DAAAAAA! ... 'Climate Change' ... ! They. Want. Your. Money. They'll tax you until they get it all - but one of the other ways they're gonna get money is to auction off to the highest bidder(-s) a fictional 'RIGHT TO POLLUTE'. That's right, boiz 'n grrlz - COMPANIES can purchase a 'RIGHT TO POLLUTE' with the blessing and sanction of the 'United Nations' ... talk about the most hypocritical oxymoron ever ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100805/ap_on_sc/climate_change UN panel: New taxes needed for a climate fund By ARTHUR MAX, Associated Press Writer Arthur Max, Associated Press Writer – Thu Aug 5, 12:22 pm ET BONN, Germany – Carbon taxes, add-ons to international air fares and a levy on cross-border money movements are among ways being considered by a panel of the world's leading economists to raise a staggering $100 billion a year to fight climate change. British economist Nicholas Stern told international climate negotiators Thursday that government regulation and public money also will be needed to create incentives for private investment in industries that emit fewer greenhouse gases. In short, a new industrial revolution is needed to move the world away from fossil fuels to low carbon growth, he said. "It will be extremely exciting, dynamic and productive," said Stern, one of 18 experts in public finance on an advisory panel appointed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. A climate summit held in Copenhagen in December was determined to mobilize $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poor countries adapt to climate change and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide trapping the sun's heat. But the 120 world leaders who met in the Danish capital offered no ideas on how to raise that sum — $1 trillion every decade — prompting Ban to appoint his high-level advisory group. The Copenhagen summit also resolved to mobilize a three-year emergency fund of $30 billion starting this year. It was unclear how much has been raised and disbursed so far. The advisory panel, which began working in March, will present its final report to Ban in October, a month before the next decisive climate conference convenes in Cancun, Mexico. Potential revenue sources include auctioning the right to pollute, taxes on carbon production, an international travel tax, and a tax on international financial transactions, as well as government grants and loans. Each could produce tens of billions of dollars a year, Stern said. |

I'm tryin' to figure out how the average workin' stiff is gonna be able to pay all of the taxes that 'The UN' is gonna slam him with startin' in 2011 and gettin' worse each year, the expiry of the Bush Tax Cuts (an automatic tax INCREASE), the 'Cap 'n Tax' tax, the new 'DeathCare' mandatory insurance policy premium, the reinstitution of the 'death tax' next year, and now the U.N. comin' to put THEIR hands (as a Gore surrogate) in his back pocket ... maybe the nice folks from the U.N. can do a quick prostate check while they're in there ... 'course, they'll try to take that, too ...
