Copenhagen climate deal shows New World Order may be led by U.S., China

Source: Washington Post – Anthony Faiola, Juliet Eilperin and John Pomfret

COPENHAGEN — If the talks that resulted in an imperfect deal to combat global warming provided anything, it was a glimpse into a new world order in which international diplomacy will increasingly be shaped by the United States and emerging powers, most notably China.

Friday’s agreement, sources involved in the talks said, boiled down to President Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao personally hammering out a pact both could live with, even if many other leaders could not. Wen even squelched his own negotiator’s protests.

What Obama heralded as a “breakthrough” — after getting India and other rising powers to sign on — was decried by some nations as too little, too late. The leaders of Europe, Japan and other countries at the summit were largely left to rubber-stamp the deal. The Swedish prime minister’s office dubbed it “a disaster.”

Ever since the concept of a G2was proposed this year by former U.S. national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, the idea that the United States and China together are going to solve all the world’s problems has been pooh-poohed by both American and Chinese officials. China hated the notion because it put too much responsibility on a country that has done very well rising in the shadows. Many U.S. officials opposed the idea on the grounds that the best way to influence China was through multinational partnerships.

So, more than anything else, critics said, Friday’s climate agreement reflected the domestic political realities in Washington and Beijing. Both nations, the two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, remain more cautious than, say, the governments of Europe about establishing a strict set of international rules to combat global warming. Not coincidentally, the agreement allows nations to set their own emission reduction targets and provides no deadline for signing a binding international accord.

A shifting relationship

As such, the deal may portend how issues from world trade to nuclear proliferation will be negotiated in the years ahead, with China leading a caucus of rising powers on one side and the United States on the other.

“The mark is being stamped on a new political world,” said Duncan Marsh, who directs international climate policy for the Nature Conservancy. Said Jake Schmidt, international climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Fund: “Coming into this conference, it was about 193 countries, and coming out of it, it clearly came down to a conversation between the leaders of those two superpowers.”

Orville Schell, a longtime China watcher who is director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society, said the erratic dance between China and the United States is another example of how the bilateral relationship is at a tipping point. China is becoming a major player, albeit reluctantly; the United States, with similar unease, is making room for China at the table of world leaders.

“We’re not exactly partners, but we’re much more equals,” Schell said. “The Chinese miss the idea that there’s some grander, stronger authority. They are not used to this role of actually helping to fashion and form things.”

Indeed, the events at the summit showed how the U.S.-China relationship remains stormy and complex, constructive and adversarial. At one point in Friday’s tense talks, for instance, China’s top climate change negotiator exploded in rage at U.S. pressure after Obama walked in on the Chinese while they were holding talks with the Indians, South Africans and Brazilians. After Obama asked whether the Chinese could commit to listing their climate targets in an international registry, Xie Zhenhua launched into a tirade, pointing his finger at the U.S. president.

A compromise from China

The United States had made any deal contingent on international verification of emission cuts made by nations, seeing it as key to winning over skeptical lawmakers on Capitol Hill who are still resistant to sweeping climate change legislation at home. But there was no way China would agree to international verification, Xie told the Americans.

It was a position that China had held to closely over months of negotiations with the United States and other countries. China’s vice minister of foreign affairs, He Yafei, had reiterated it just hours earlier.

Knights of Malta fueling both sides of the “Climate Debate” with Lord Monckton

Update Deceber 23 2009:   After receiving flack for posting this and realizing that most people didn’t read the entire article and still maintain that Lord Monckton is a patriot, I decided to put the last paragraph first:

Lord Christopher Monckton on AIDS and Martial Law Tactics:

“Monckton’s views on how the AIDS epidemic should be tackled have been the subject of some controversy. In an article for The American Spectator entitled “AIDS: A British View”,^[41] written for the January 1987 issue of The American Spectator, he argued that “there is only one way to stop AIDS. That is to screen the entire population regularly and to quarantine all carriers of the disease for life. Every member of the population should be blood-tested every month … all those found to be infected with the virus, even if only as carriers, should be isolated compulsorily, immediately, and permanently.” This would involve isolating between 1.5 and 3 million people in the United States.”

If Lord Monckton would do this to people with AIDS, do you think he would support the globalist plot to exterminate 80% of the population to “save the earth” as outlined in the Georgia Guidestones?

Originally published: December 20, 2009

Lord Christopher Monckton is Chief Policy Advisor to the Science and Public Policy Institute.  He was Special Advisor to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher from 1982 to 1986.   Lord Monckton’s father Maj-Gen the 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley was president of the British Association of the Sovereign Order of Malta.  Like father like son Lord Christopher Monckton  is a life long member of the Knights of Malta.

Lord Monckton is being hailed as the answer to the pollution troubles of the coal industry by big coal publications like Coal News with the headline “No Climate Crisis,”Lord Monckton Says.   Monckton is being propped up as a climate expert although he graduated with a diploma in journalism.^[1] He is funded through Science and Public Policy Institute (SIPP), which has a direct tie to the Exxon funded  Frontiers of Freedom Foundation, Inc through its President Robert Ferguson.

According to the organization’s web site, “Frontiers has grown from a start-up organization with big ideas to a preeminent think tank that is making a real and tangible difference advancing common sense ideas for government. One of our greatest sources of pride has been our position on the front lines in the battle to make a national missile defense system a reality. Our efforts earned us a seat across the table, literally, from President Bush on the day he announced our withdrawal from the ABM Treaty. In addition, we have both provided and received briefings from Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and his Deputy Paul Dundes Wolfowitz. We are proud to be considered an asset to the national security community during these times of serious global insecurity.”

The Knights of Malta are fueling both sides of the Climate Debate.  Through active operatives like David Rockefeller and David De Rothschild pushing the Carbon Tax Scheme in effort to clinch the “Global Governance” plan that Al Gore speaks of.

On the other end of the spectrum active Knights of Malta operative Lord Christopher Monckton posing as a patriot warning you of a secret plot for world government.  One order controls both sides.   You need to ask yourself what do they gain controlling both sides? Order out of chaos.

This is the same order out of chaos that the Knights of Malta have been waging with operative Erik Prince and the Blackwater defense contracting firm said Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe.”

“The painful saga of modern Arab-Muslim history evokes the battles fought in Crusades of the 11th century – when the Knights of Malta began their operations as a Christian militia whose mission it was to defend the land conquered by the Crusaders.These memories return violently to mind with the discovery of links between the so-called security firms in Iraq such as Blackwater have historic links with the Order of Malta. You cannot exaggerate it. The Order of Malta is a hidden government or the most mysterious government in the world.”- Jordanian MP Jamal Muhammad Abidat, from an editorial in the United Arab Emirates daily Al-Bayan entitled “The Knights of Malta – more than a conspiracy”. Abidat describes the role played by the Knights of Malta during the Crusades, and that the Order is playing a similar role in the Middle East today, citing the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Make no mistake there is an active attempt at the formation of a “One World Government” and it is being accelerated under the umbrella of “saving the earth”.  It should be noted that any opportunity for globalists to push an “international framework” is being met with resistance.  Independent news websites are a buzz with talk about the formation of a New World Order being built under the guise of saving the earth.  “Poor nations push for ‘New World Order’ in Copenhagen”

With the carbon tax, cap and trade scheme who stands to gain? Mainly the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties and their subsidiaries.  The globalist corporate interests steer public opinion through “think tanks” and chip away national sovereignty by, not so secret, societies like the Knights of Malta playing both sides against the middle to maintain the “order out of chaos”.

Lord Monckton is not a patriot.  He is not friend to freedom, sovereignty or the environment, he is an active operative for the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, and a member of the Roman Catholic Mass Media Commission.

TruthMovement.com

Make no mistake, this is the SAME Knights of Malta that is pushing “global governance” agenda through round table groups like the C.F.R., C.N.P, Bilderberg Group and through operatives like David Rockefeller and environmental front man David De Rothschild who recently quipped about “Global governance” being tough to activate in Copenhagen.

Lord Christopher Monckton on AIDS  and Martial Law Tactics:

“Monckton’s views on how the AIDS epidemic should be tackled have been the subject of some controversy. In an article for The American Spectator entitled “AIDS: A British View”,^[41] written for the January 1987 issue of The American Spectator, he argued that “there is only one way to stop AIDS.

Climate Debate Egg Cracks Wide Open: Hackers Leak UN Agenda to Fake Climate Data

Hackers leak e-mails, stoke climate debate

By DAVID STRINGER (AP) – 2 days ago

LONDON — Computer hackers have broken into a server at a well-respected climate change research center in Britain and posted hundreds of private e-mails and documents online — stoking debate over whether some scientists have overstated the case for man-made climate change.

The University of East Anglia, in eastern England, said in a statement Saturday that the hackers had entered the server and stolen data at its Climatic Research Unit, a leading global research center on climate change. The university said police are investigating the theft of the information, but could not confirm if all the materials posted online are genuine.

More than a decade of correspondence between leading British and U.S. scientists is included in about 1,000 e-mails and 3,000 documents posted on Web sites following the security breach last week.

Some climate change skeptics and bloggers claim the information shows scientists have overstated the case for global warming, and allege the documents contain proof that some researchers have attempted to manipulate data.

The furor over the leaked data comes weeks before the U.N. climate conference in Copenhagen, when 192 nations will seek to reach a binding treaty to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases worldwide. Many officials — including U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon — regard the prospects of a pact being sealed at the meeting as bleak.

In one leaked e-mail, the research center’s director, Phil Jones, writes to colleagues about graphs showing climate statistics over the last millennium. He alludes to a technique used by a fellow scientist to “hide the decline” in recent global temperatures. Some evidence appears to show a halt in a rise of global temperatures from about 1960, but is contradicted by other evidence which appears to show a rise in temperatures is continuing.

Jones wrote that, in compiling new data, he had “just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline,” according to a leaked e-mail, which the author confirmed was genuine.

One of the colleague referred to by Jones — Michael Mann, a professor of meteorology at Pennsylvania State University — did not immediately respond to requests for comment via telephone and e-mail.

The use of the word “trick” by Jones has been seized on by skeptics — who say his e-mail offers proof of collusion between scientists to distort evidence to support their assertion that human activity is influencing climate change.

“Words fail me,” Stephen McIntyre — a blogger whose climateaudit.org Web site challenges popular thinking on climate change — wrote on the site following the leak of the messages.

However, Jones denied manipulating evidence and insisted his comment had been taken out of context. “The word ‘trick’ was used here colloquially, as in a clever thing to do. It is ludicrous to suggest that it refers to anything untoward,” he said in a statement Saturday.

Jones did not indicate who “Keith” was in his e-mail.

Two other American scientists named in leaked e-mails — Gavin Schmidt of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, and Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Colorado — did not immediately return requests for comment.

The University of East Anglica said that information published on the Internet had been selected deliberately to undermine “the strong consensus that human activity is affecting the world’s climate in ways that are potentially dangerous.”

“The selective publication of some stolen e-mails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way,” the university said in a statement.

UN CLIMATE WARNING: ‘WE HAVE 4 MONTHS TO SECURE FUTURE OF PLANET’

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

Incheon (Republic of Korea)

11 August 2009

Remarks to the Global Environment Forum

Honourable Ahn Sang-Soo, Mayor of Incheon Metropolitan City,Honourable Mr. Ko Kun, Co-Chairman of the global Enviroment Forum,

Honourable Mr. Lee Man-yi, Minister of Environment,

Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, Dear Friends,

It is a great privilege for me to participate in this global Environment Forum.

Let me begin by offering my sincere congratulations to Mayor Ahn and the the citizens of the Metropolitan City of Incheon.

Environment Forum as well as the Global Fair and Festival 2009, you show true global vision ? vision that underlines the importance of local government and cities in coping with the challenges of the 21st century.

Ladies and gentlemen,

As you know, Incheon is famous as the gateway to Korea.

But here today, I am especially proud as UN Secretary-General – and a Korean citizen – to be able to say that Incheon is also a gateway to our common future.

The very fact that this most important Forum meets here today testifies to that.

The Songdo Convensia is one of the world’s most green convention centres. And it is located in one of the world’s most eco-friendly cities.

Songdo is remarkable not only for what it has become but for what it used to be.

People who grew up here remember the smokestacks and toxic fumes.

In a few short decades, these have given way to clean buildings and clear skies.

We are here today to recognize the connections between us and deal with a common problem. Of this, too, Songdo is a symbol and key.

I understand that Songdo modeled itself on the Swedish sister city of Hammarby Sjostad (SCHÖ-stad).

That city, too, used to be an industrial site before it transformed itself through ecofriendly development.

These two cities – one in Europe, the other in Asia – show visionary civic leadership. They understand that we have a choice: adapt or perish.

It is that simple.

Other cities around the world are taking this enlightened approach. Reykjavik in Iceland? Curitiba in Brazil… Kampala in Uganda… Sydney in Australia.

Whenever I visit these places, I am impressed.

People everywhere are accepting that we must all live cleaner, greener, more sustainable lives. This is our future.

I must admit that, as a Korean, Songdo occupies a special place in my heart.

It helps show how Korea has emerged as a world leader on greening the economy.

Some 80 per cent of Korea’s $38 billion national stimulus package is dedicated to green growth? the highest percentage in the world.

Nearly a million green jobs will be created in the coming four years.

This represents a fundamental shift in Korea’s approach to building national prosperity.

I applaud this progress. I commend the visionary leadership of President Lee Myung Bak of Korea.

But Korea must do more.

The world is looking to Korea for leadership. This powerful emerging economy can serve as a bridge between developed and developing countries.

But to do this, Korea must set ambitious goals for reducing its own emissions.

I understand that the Korean Government is now seriously considering amending the mid-term target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

As the Minister of Environment said, the Korean Government is now is considering three options.

As Secretary-General of the United Nations, I urge you to aim high – be more ambitious commensurate with your economic development.

Korea long inspired others with its comeback spirit of renewal. After the Second World War, it arose to become one of the world’s strongest economies.

Songdo was an industrial wasteland, but it transformed itself into one of the world’s greenest cities.

Korea should now go further.

It should make itself a model of international engagement on climate change. Climate change, as all previous speakers have already stated, is the fundamental threat to humankind.

It exacerbates all of the problems we face: poverty, disease, hunger and insecurity. It impedes progress toward the Millennium Development Goals. It deepens the food and energy crises.

That is the harsh reality.

But there is an upside: if we combat climate change with a sustainable, low-emissions approach, just like we see around us in Songdo, we can change the way countries develop.

We can foster a green economy and green growth.

We can fight hunger and poverty while protecting the environment.

The downside is equally dramatic.

If we fail to act, climate change will intensify droughts, floods and other natural disasters.

Water shortages will affect hundreds of millions of people. Malnutrition will engulf large parts of the developing world. Tensions will worsen. Social unrest – even violence – could follow.

The damage to national economies will be enormous. The human suffering will be incalculable.

We have the power to change course. But we must do it now.

As we move toward Copenhagen in December, we must “Seal a Deal” on climate change that secures our common future. I’m glad that the Chairman of the forum and many other speakers have used my campaign slogan “Seal the Deal” in Copenhagen. I won’t charge them loyalty. Please use this “Seal the Deal” as widely as possible, as much as you can. We must seal the deal in Copenhagen for the future of humanity.

We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet.

Any agreement must be fair, effective, equitable and comprehensive, and based on science. And it must help vulnerable nations adapt to climate change.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The science is clear. We know what to do and we know how to do it. Songdo shows us the way.

What is needed is the political will. We have the capacity. We have finance. We have the technology. The largest lacking is political will. That is why I will convey some meetings focused on climate change. I have invited all the leaders of the world including President Lee.

Two years ago, only a handful of world leaders could talk about climate change.

Today, leaders of all the world, all the countries on every continent are aware of the threats we face now.

This is great progress, for we need leadership of the very highest order.

Awareness is the first step. The challenge now is to act.

Since my first day as Secretary-General, I have spoken out about the grave climate change threat.

My words, at times, have been blunt.

When the leaders of the G-8 agreed in July to keep the global temperature increase within two degrees centigrade by the year 2050, that was welcomed and I welcome that statement.

But I also said again, it was not enough.

But leaders have agreed to cut green house gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. That is welcomed again. But that must be accompanied by the ambitious mid-term target by 2020 as science tells us to do. There I said, while I applaud their commitment, that is not enough.

I called for matching these long-term goals with ambitious mid-term emission reduction targets.

Let me be clear about what we need to do.

There are four points [of] very important key political issues.

First industrialized countries must lead by committing to binding mid-term reduction targets on the order of 25 to 40 per cent below 1990 levels.

Unfortunately, the mid-term emission targets announced so far are not close enough to this range. This must change. That is why I am urging at this time, that the Korean government should take more ambitious targets.

Second, developing countries need to take nationally appropriate mitigation actions in order to reduce the growth in their emissions substantially below business as usual.

Their actions must be measurable, reportable and verifiable.

Third, developed countries must provide sufficient, measurable, reportable and verifiable financial and technological support to developing countries.

This will allow developing countries to pursue their mitigation efforts as part of their sustainable green growth strategies and to adapt to accelerating climate impacts.

Significant resources will be needed from both public and private sources.

Developing countries, especially the most vulnerable, will collectively need billions of dollars in public financing for adaptation.

I am talking here about new money – not re-packaged Official Development Assistance. This is one of the most important issues which we are going to discuss on September 22nd in New York, and this year again at the G20 Summit Meeting in Pittsburgh on September 24th.

Fourth, we need an equitable and accountable mechanism for distributing these financial and technological resources, taking into account the views of all countries in decision-making.

Accomplishing all of this requires tough decisions. It will take flexibility and hard work to negotiate the most difficult issues.

Trust between developed and developing countries is essential.

When governments succeed in sealing a deal in Copenhagen, we will have shown the spirit of international solidarity. We will have shown leadership – political will.

Distinguished participants,

The city of Incheon has a remarkable history.

Here, in 1950, the Korean war came to a famous turning point, following a daring landing by UN forces.

Against all the odds, the operation succeeded. Courage and leadership turned the tide.

Today, we need to turn a different tide – the tide of climate change. We need bold “outside of the box” thinking.

We need your support and cooperation.

You can shape the international debate and influence important decisions.

You can encourage countries to work together.

I promise you my best effort as Secretary-General of the United Nations — my best effort to push, pull and cajole national leaders into acting in our common global interest.

Together, we truly can turn the tide, once again, here in Incheon.

I need your support, your commitment, and your leadership.

Thank you very much.
