"It is not enough to know that there is a shadow government pulling the strings of the visible government- we must also act to expose it, and defeat it!"-Mark Matheny

(CNSNews.com) – For E. Calvin Beisner and his colleagues at the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation (CASC), every day is Earth Day because Christians are called by God to be good stewards of the planet and its inhabitants.
Beisner believes that it is not carbon emissions but global warming activism and international climate treaties that are a threat to the nation’s future and the world’s poorest populations.
“Climate change is the totalitarian’s dream come true,” Beisner, founder of the CASC, said at a conference on Thursday at the Family Research Council in Washington. “It offers a rationale for government intrusion into every aspect of life for every person on Earth.”

WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) - A long-awaited compromise bill to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming will be unveiled by a group of senators on April 26, sources said on Thursday.
The legislative language to be sketched out in 11 days, according to government and environmental sources, is being drafted by Democratic Senator John Kerry, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and independent Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Backers of the environmental bill hope the unveiling will pave the way for the full Senate to debate and pass a measure in June or July if the compromise attracts enough support from a group of moderate Republicans and Democrats.
Republican Senator Judd Gregg told Reuters he was "committed to getting something that addresses our energy needs in a constructive and comprehensive way." He added he did not know yet whether he would support the bill being developed.
President Barack Obama has made climate change one of his top priorities and took steps recently to show Republicans he was serious, including expanding federal aid for building nuclear power facilities and allowing more domestic offshore oil drilling -- initiatives to be included in the Senate compromise.

AMSTERDAM – A new legal agreement committing nations around the world to curb greenhouse gas emissions is unlikely to be completed before the end of 2011, two years later than originally envisioned, the top U.N. climate official said Wednesday.
Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the U.N. climate change secretariat, said countries need to restore confidence in U.N. negotiations following the dismal results of the Copenhagen summit in December, which ended in a vague agreement of principles and a pledge of finances for poor countries most threatened by climate change.
"There was a great deal of frustration at the end of the Copenhagen conference in terms of process," de Boer said in a conference call with reporters from his office in Bonn, Germany.
The next annual conference in Cancun, Mexico, beginning in November should get negotiations "back on track" among the 194 participating nations, with the aim of agreeing on the main elements that could be enshrined in a binding agreement a year later in South Africa, de Boer said.
"My hope is that Cancun will deliver what I had hoped Copenhagen would deliver," said de Boer, who is resigning July 1 after nearly three years in office.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI denounced the failure of world leaders to agree to a new climate change treaty in Copenhagen last month, saying Monday that world peace depends on safeguarding God's creation.
He issued the admonition in a speech to ambassadors accredited to the Vatican, an annual appointment during which the pontiff reflects on issues the Vatican wants to highlight to the diplomatic corps.
Benedict has been dubbed the "green pope" for his increasingly vocal concern about the need to protect the environment. Under his watch, the Vatican has installed photovoltaic cells on its main auditorium to convert sunlight into electricity and has joined a reforestation project aimed at offsetting its CO2 emissions.
For the pontiff, it's a moral issue: Church teaching holds that man must respect creation because it's destined for the benefit of humanity's future.
In his speech, the pontiff criticized the "economic and political resistance" to fighting environmental degradation and creating a new climate treaty at last month's negotiations in Copenhagen.
Officials from 193 countries met at the summit, which ended Dec. 19 having failed to produce a successor treaty to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It produced instead a non-biding accord that included few concrete steps to combat global warming.
The Copenhagen summit did set up the first significant program of ensuring aid to help poorer nations cope with the effects of a changing climate. But while the accord urged deeper cuts in emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming, it did nothing to demand them.
"I trust that in the course of this year ... it will be possible to reach an agreement for effectively dealing with this question," Benedict said.
He said the issue was particularly critical for island nations and in places like Africa, where the battle for resources, increased desertification and over-exploitation of land has resulted in wars.
"To cultivate peace, one must protect creation!" Benedict told the ambassadors, many of whom wore their national dress or medal-draped formal attire for the audience in the frescoed Sala Regia of the Vatican's apostolic palace.
The pontiff said the same "self-centered and materialistic" way of thinking that sparked the worldwide financial meltdown was also endangering creation. To combat it will require a new way of thinking and a new lifestyle — and an acknowledgment that the question is a moral one, he said.
"The protection of creation is not principally a response to an aesthetic need, but much more to a moral need, inasmuch as nature expresses a plan of love and truth which is prior to us and which comes from God," he said.
To illustrate his point, the German-born pope pointed to the experiences of eastern Europe under the "materialistic and atheistic regimes" of the former Soviet bloc.
"Was it not easy to see the great harm which an economic system lacking any reference to the truth about man had done not only to the dignity and freedom of individuals and peoples, but to nature itself, by polluting soil, water and air?" he asked.
"The denial of God distorts the freedom of the human person, yet it also devastates creation."
Global warming is just another scam the government is involved in. It started out according to John Coleman (The founder of the weather channel),with some environmentalists and some politicians from the UN who introduced world earth day in 1970, and from there it traveled in to what it is now-the Cap and Trade bill.
For years this scam has been erupting, setting up a Global emergency, just waiting for the world to be united into One. If this does come into effect, how will our world be if it is united? How many wars will erupt between the lands? This is a ridiculous plan, which I can see failing once citizens become more aware of what is happening, and what our government and other countries are agreeing on in meetings; such as the Copenhagen meeting.
Questions have emerged among millions of Americans on what exactly the Cap and Trade Bill is. According to the Conservation Law Foundation, the cap and trade is "an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants". This bill is in relevance to the Global Warming and according to the magazine The New American (September 2009), The bill is based on "the unsubstantiated theory that green house gases, in particular carbon dioxide are causing catastrophic warming of the planet." This is absurd, thousands of scientists say global warming is not caused by man but, statements from Obama and others are saying it is. Who will you believe, Scientists who show absolute scientific proof, or a President who is deliberately obstructing the truth with false science?
This bill has been rushed, and little has been said on this matter to citizens. If scientists are coming forward saying there is no need to reduce CO2, then what is the real truth behind this bill besides our economy crashing, taxes rising, more job losses, and middle-class families going poor? How can the President prove humans are the ones who are causing Global Warming?
Before Obama came in to office he was promising involvement with the white house to those who would help the fight against global warming. What he said in Copenhagen is in effect an agenda, that of making the world united in to a one world government. What he failed to mention in his speech to everyone, however, is how our economy will collapse in the process of formulating this New World Order.
Ken Adachi says Global Warming is a psychological operation, a “psy-ops”, conditioning the public to believe that we are going to be in a lot of trouble in the near future if we don’t take steps “x,y,z”, and do it quickly. Those steps are what the Illuminati want us to follow so they can further consolidate their control over our lives-and still make a ton of money in the process. This is true. The media is a part of the cycle of fabrications, and persuasively distorts the news to the public. This is why the people are oblivious to the “real news” of the world, because it is hidden. The media and the government only want to speak of "better information" and withhold news that would be devastating to their agenda.
According to the website Educate- yourself.org, Obama insists on talking about how the “The science is settled”, and how Al Gore told Congress the Global Warming crisis is even worse than predicted. The question is, why do they continue to promote a lie? Global warming was never about protecting the environment. It’s nothing more than the excuse to enforce global governance on the planet by creating a new global economy based on the environment rather than on goods and services. The important battle is beginning with the new economic system called the Cap and Trade. “This bill will tax everything, the prices of every item created or run by energy form gasoline to tooth paste to natural gas to hotel rooms, as we sit in our cold, dark homes”, and that is if we even are able to keep our homes. It is said the Cap and Trade will throw out the old system of a free market based on goods and services and operate on the idea that CO2 is a pollutant. Instead of money, wealth will be determined by how many government-issued emission permits you own to allow you to operate your business.
Different countries' representatives are coming together at the United Nations Climate change Conference to propose deals and to collaborate about the bill. Japan has already proposed an offer in Copenhagen with giving 10 million U.S dollars to help developing countries fight global warming over a three year period, and steps to protect biodiversity according to Rie Jerichow. Many debates have been developing in Copenhagen. When will the citizens have their chance to voice their opinions? This is one bill that everyone should be against. People who agree must not understand our world will be affected. Our economy will fall, with an increasing amount of job losses - what will be next after this devastation? What is the plan if this bill does come into effect? Where will the American people stand? Will wars start to erupt all over the world after the bill goes in effect due to promises being broken? These are all questions that need to be answered among others on what our future will hold, for us as well as for our children. This is one obstacle that needs immediate attention so our lives and our coutry are not ruined. Our freedom is slowly being stripped away from us, as stated in the movie The goods, live hard, sell hard. Our freedom has been slowly being ripped from us as the government decides to take action without regard to its people!

President Barack Obama is due to head to Copenhagen overnight to join the leaders of over 100 other nations for the final day of the U.N. Climate Change conference in the Danish capital.
The question remains what sort of compromise they can agree on to cut greenhouse gas emissions and to help the most affected and less developed nations of the world cope with global warming.
For the past two weeks thousands of delegates have been meeting in a conference center on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Their task was to come up with a global plan to deal with climate change.
But, agreement has been elusive. Many of the sessions were taken up with finger pointing and rhetoric of who's to blame for global warming, who suffers most, and who needs to do more.
Addressing the conference, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd warned that, as he put it, no one has come here with "clean hands."
"The inescapable truth is that we, the developed world, carry the overwhelming historical responsibility for the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere," Rudd said.
Prime Minister Rudd's message was that the developed world must set things right. But, he also admonished emerging economies to not continue to spew out greenhouse gases.
There have been major differences here at the conference between developed and developing nations and with major emerging economies.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a major funding initiative with a promise to contribute to a global fund of $100 billion annually to help poor nations deal with climate change. But, she said that could only happen if all major economies agree on emissions cuts and on proper monitoring of implementation. She made a clear reference to China, with whom the U.S. has been at odds over the issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The United States is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries," Hillary Clinton said.
But, Prime Minister Rudd reminded delegates that everyone has a stake.
"The truth is that unless we all act together because we are all in this together there will be limited prospects of development because the planet itself will no longer sustain development," Rudd said.
That was much the message from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who admonished his fellow world leaders that failure is not an option.
He warned them they would all have to answer before global opinion and public opinion at home if they failed to act. Science has told us what must be done, he said, and we are the last generation to be able to do it.
In an impassioned speech, President Sarkozy said everyone would have to compromise. He appealed to world leaders to sit down and work out their differences and suggested a serious working meeting after Thursday's dinner to do just that.
Initial hopes had been the Copenhagen conference could come up with a successor to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which mandates emission cuts for most developed nations. Developing countries are adamant that they want Kyoto extended beyond its 2012 expiration date. Leaders here have indicated they are looking for a political framework agreement from Copenhagen, with another summit to be held in about six months to work out details and turn it into a legally binding accord.
In China, he talks of accord with 'immediate operational effect'

BEIJING - President Barack Obama, with China's leader at his side, lifted his sights Tuesday for a broad accord at next month's climate conference that he said will lead to immediate action and "rally the world" toward a solution on global warming.
Obama and President Hu Jintao talked of a joint desire to tackle climate change, but failed to publicly address the root problems that could unravel a deal at the 192-nation conference in Copenhagen: how much each country can contribute to curb greenhouse gases and how the world will pay the billions of dollars needed to fight rising temperatures.
Hu said nations would do their part "consistent with our respective capabilities," a reference to the now widely accepted view that developing nations — even energy guzzlers like China, India and Brazil — should be required only to set goals for reining in greenhouse-gas emissions, not accept absolute targets for reducing emissions like the industrialized countries.
