We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen come December. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises. Draft text, you say? If you haven't heard about it, that's because none of our otherwise talkative political leaders have bothered to tell us what the drafters have already cobbled together for leaders to consider. And neither have the media.
Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—a rough draft of what could be signed come December.
So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.
The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.

Interesting topic again. But I don't worry.First of all UN is a big monster, almost unable to move, worse then EU.Perhaps It's because -not like in EU- a lot of undeveloped, "undemocratic" countries are also members, and they have very different plans and aims.I belive the UN was created to become a world goverment one day,by the hidden syndicate, but I think since China, India,Venezuela (counties that are not depending, hanging on their money anymore)and plenty of others became strong, it doesn't work well. So no agreement to expect.If it was dependig on US, EU members like Denmark, sure we would get the "world goverment,big brother" in a second:)
Well after overthink it,Romania or my country can sign..My god. Scary.
Actually I can't find anything about this on Hungarian internet, and I have no time to study the whole thing:)But I can calm myself down, recalling the time, when I was taught, by the former ambassador to the UN..He didn't look like the devil.All we thought he was gay, and sure he was.Funny man, not searious at all.
This Janos Pasztor my country fellow is not too famous. Never heard about him before, also very few info.on internet about him.
