IPCC admits climate legislation is about wealth redistribution, not climate

And globalization...who knew?

American Thinker Blog: IPCC Expert admits UN goal is Wealth Redistribution

On Sunday, Ottmar Edenhofer, a German economist and IPCC Co-chair of Working Group III on Mitigation of Climate Change, told the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (translated) that “climate policy is redistributing the world's wealth” and that “it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization.”


Edenhofer went on to explain that in Cancun, the redistribution of not only wealth but also natural resources will be negotiated, adding that:

The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War.

And another shot at playing Robin Hood with Americans’ money. As I addressed yesterday:

Now consider the U.N. plan to levy a climate reparations tax on the developed world (read that United States) on everything from airline flights and international shipping to fuel and financial transactions to the tune of $100 billion annually. That scheme is backed by both Obama advisor Lawrence Summers and radical anti-American billionaire George Soros as a means to meet the annual figure “international leaders” agreed to in Copenhagen and will be a primary goal at Cancun in a few weeks.

Of course. That's what it's always been about. None of them give a damn about the environment; it's just a means to an end.

Really funny. You don't think that wealth redirstribuition is not happening right now on a global basis? However, it is the very wealthy in this nation sending the jobs to China that are doing the deed. They get wealthier, the American Middle Class continues shrinking, and the people in China and India start to move above the poverty level. And you dumb shmucks just keep cheering for the whole process, and posting garbage from right wing blog sites that support the whole process.
