Lord Monckton: Don’t Allow Obama To Sign Climate Change Treaty

Below is a video of former British adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Lord Christopher Monckton, urging Americans to not allow President Obama to sign the U.N. Climate Change Treaty this December in Copenhagen. Claiming to have read the treaty, Monckton says that signing the treaty will allow for the flow of millions of American dollars out of our country and into the hands of other countries, probably third world countries. This, combined with the goal he claims is explicitly written in the agreement to form a one world government, will readily put an end to United States’ sovereignty.

According to Monckton, by signing the treaty the U.S. is admitting that it is the bad boy in the world by generating too much carbon dioxide and therefore we must pay for our sins. The difficulty comes on what happens after we sign this or any other U.N. treaty. (video below the fold)

It is my understanding that the United States president has the power to negotiate treaties with international entities. It takes a super majority in the U.S. Senate to approve this treaty if Obama should decide to sign it and many feel that he will, including Lord Monckton.

According to U.S. law (Article VI of Constitution) “and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;” if Obama signs and Congress approves such a treaty, are we bound by our own Constitution to abide by that treaty? Or does this apply only in terms of negotiated treaties within the several states? Furthermore, when the U.S. signed the United Nations Charter (another treaty I would presume), we agreed to abide by the rules of the Charter and to honor all treaties signed.

According to Monckton (I’ve not been able to confirm this), the only way the U.S. could get out of a signed treaty with the United Nations is if the charter members voted to allow such (and there goes all their money).

In theory it would seem that once the U.S. signs this treaty or any other UN treaty, the only legal way out is through approval of the UN. There is argument that the UN has no means of legal enforcement and that therefore the United States Congress can simply vote to repeal this or any other treaty. Evidently this has been done before.
