Cap and Trade by Stealth: U.S. States Partner With Foreign Governments
While Americans were battling cap-and-trade legislation at the national and international levels, global-warming alarmists were quietly building regional systems between state and local governments, private industry, and even
foreign governments that basically achieve the same effect --
higher energy prices for consumers and more money for governments.
The first and most prominent of these U.S. cap-and-trade systems is known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). It was created not by the people through their legislatures, but by a so-called Memorandum of Understanding between state governors.
But the corruption is already coming out in the open
.
There motto is:
'
We drive bold climate action through our network of business, government and thought leaders.'
Govt. of NSW
Govt. of South Australia
City of Sydney
Govt. of Victoria
of West Oz
etc.
are 'partners'
The organization works with the United Nations Development Program, the World Economic Forum, the Administrative Center for
China's Agenda 21, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other high-profile institutions, agencies and governments
to advance the global climate agenda.
And it promotes the implementation of global-warming schemes through sub-national levels of government among other things.The UN Development Program estimates that 50 per cent to 80 per cent of the emissions cuts needed to keep climate change below 2C will need to be delivered at state, regional and city levels, the co-chairs
noted in their joint column for The Australian entitled Think globally, act locally? States already are. This is because regional governments often control regulation for many of the key areas for addressing climate change, such as power generation, the built environment, waste management, transport and land use planning
those same forces are building a powerful and expensive carbon regime
that could eventually encompass every state in the Union, and beyond
