Conspiracy Theory of the day

Effective World Government Will Be Needed to Stave Off Climate Catastrophe

...
A policy article authored by several dozen scientists appeared online March 15 in Science...The authors called for a “constitutional moment” at the upcoming 2012 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio in June to reform world politics and government.... Unfortunately, far more is needed. To be effective, a new set of institutions would have to be imbued with heavy-handed, transnational enforcement powers....

No, it's not Coast to Coast: It's from one of the editors of Scientific American on that magazine's website, and it seems incredibly naive.

Yet their proposal, which imagines coercing an obedient population, is chilling.


Would any institution be capable of instilling a permanent crisis mentality lasting decades, if not centuries?
How do we create new institutions with enforcement powers way beyond the current mandate of the U.N.?
Could we ensure against a malevolent dictator who might abuse the power of such organizations?
the answer is no, that's impossible and no.

Next question?

They imagine that a UN fiat will be followed...well, maybe that's so in China or the US/EU, but here in the Philippines (and in much of Africa and Asia), all it would take is a small gift to get around the rules.
