By controlling carbon dioxide emissions, the statists gain control over society, the economy, and our nation's standard of living. As noted before, this line of thinking, carried to the extreme reaches of the bureaucratic mind, will result in requiring everyone to have a breathing permit, for we all, with every breath, emit carbon dioxide. Of course not - the laws are blithely ignored with the firm knowledge that Congress has not the backbone to call them on it and that very few people have the resources to turn to the courts to stop the President from doing whatever he wants. And sadly, Khrushchev's words about the U.S. selling the rope to hang itself have come into play. The GEF is nothing more than a dark green slush fund which channels dollars to radical environmental groups the world over, and is used, as is so common with such organizations, to lobby government for more dollars and more power.
Bribery is another use of the fund.
Argentine officials report that the administration is offering them assistance from the fund in exchange for Argentina's concessions on the Kyoto Treaty. See you Trackside.
