Monckton: Climate Change Treaty & Ceding US Sovereignty

Parent Cafe
1

<p>Okay, someone sent me a link to a presentation by Monckton which apparently challenges global warming and also suggests that, should Obama sign the upcoming Copenhagen Climate treaty, we will be in danger of seceding US sovereignty (see for example [Minnesota</a> Majority - Standing Together for Traditional Values](<a href=“http://www.minnesotamajority.org%5DMinnesota”>http://www.minnesotamajority.org))</p>

<p>Of course I cannot see how signing an international treaty opens up the possibility of the US ceding sovereignty (even though, per my sources “it’s legally binding!”), but not surprisingly I can find no major news resources which can provide me with a few talking points of rebuttal.</p>

<p>Can someone help me out here? What can I tell these people to assuage their fears?</p>

<p>This belongs in the political forum.</p>

<p>Sorry, I thought I had posted it there… hopefully a moderator will see this soon and move it, thanks.</p>

<p>Oh no. I know. I’ve done the same thing. I just wrote that so maybe a moderator would see it. You could just post it over there, though. It’s an interesting issue.</p>

<p>I heard him on Laura Ingraham being interviewed last week. He makes a compelling argument and is very passionate about this issue.</p>

<p>So what is the argument that is so compelling? And what is his motivation for making it?</p>

<p>And if there is really a danger of this happening, why is the issue not be discussed anywhere but on the right?</p>
