Open Email to Chairwoman Kay Granger (TX), House Subcommittee
State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs,
Chairman Edward
Markey, Subcommittee International Development
& Foreign Assistance, Economic Affairs, International
Environmental Protection and Peace Corps
Dear Chairwoman Granger and
Chairman Markey,
An Associate has been following the
meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in
Warsaw.
The stated purpose of the UNFCCC is to organize a
"complete transformation of the economic structure of the world".
A new
committee called the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage" was
created and work on funding is to begin next year. The Green Climate Fund Board
is to begin its initial resource mobilization process as soon as possible with
rich countries, including the US, to announce how much they will "contribute" by
next December when the UN meets in Lima, Peru. The U.S. agreed to prepare
biennial submissions on its updated strategies and approaches for scaling up
finance ("its contributions") between 2014 and 2020.
Rep. Granger and
Senator
Markey, this UN program is a redistribution of wealth on a
worldwide basis by a claimed reason of wealthy industrialized countries having
created a climate change scenario which is detrimental to world inhabitants. I
remind you that this is a hollow claim. There is no credible scientific evidence
that industrialized countries have contributed to deleterious climate change
through carbon dioxide emissions or any other action.
Most US
citizens are reasonably satisfied with the present economic position of the US
compared to other countries of the world. We do not want government mandates to
redistribute wealth and become a third world country ourselves. This is not to
say that we should not have compassion on the underprivileged, whether they are
members of our own US society or other country inhabitants, but it should not be
forced upon us. We have a number of private organizations in the US that do good
work for the underprivileged of the world. It is not up to the US government to
engage in any practice involving a redistribution of wealth.
I also wonder
whether members of Congress are so weak in their belief of US supremacy and are
so disinterested in their jobs that they are willing to pass along their
responsibility to the United Nations.
Let's keep the sovereignty of the US
intact. While we have difficult internal problems, we resolve these ourselves,
and we don't need a higher power other than God to tell us what we should be
doing.
