Ready for Court?

This will seem like a reasonable idea, if you are a part of the New World Order and entrenched in the climate-change movement. The UN, ascending into its proper place as the new Federal Government of the World, will establish a Court to hear legal disputes arising from the effects of climate change.  This Climate Court will have jurisdiction over all nations of the world and will have power to award damages to countries affected by actions of other countries.

In other words, countries like the United States, which are developed and therefore consume more energy than undeveloped countries, would be liable to lawsuits for the "excess emissions" and "climate damage." In such a case, the US could be ordered to pay damages (that's money) to the "damaged" countries, and the Climate Court could order the US to institute laws and regulations to bring down national emissions of carbon, greenhouse gases, or whatever the UN chooses to regulate, and to bring them down to whatever level the UN dictates.

The practical effects would be disastrous. The financial costs out of pocket wouldn't be inconsequential; if the damages demanded were in the Millions of Dollars, you'd be getting off easy. And there would be both the cost and effect of the United Nations required regulations. What would be the effect on most Americans of a requirement to reduce your automobile usage to the daily per-mile usage of automobiles? Americans drive an average of about 15,000 miles per year - how many miles do the rest of the people in the world drive per year? 100 miles, 10 miles? Most Americans do not have access to mass transit; it might mean losing your job - or your home. And what about heating your house; does it use more energy than a mud hut in Africa? If you haven't thought about your carbon footprint, you can bet these climate folks will. And they will expect Americans and the developed nations to pay for it.

Perhaps you think this can't happen in America. Perhaps you think your representatives would never do this to you. If so, the next time some obscure UN treaty comes before the Congress, remember Speaker Pelosi's famous statement about Obamacare; "We have to pass it so you can see what is in it."  Are you ready for Court, America?
