Our spending problem - one part of it

From Senator Jim Inhofe at the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works: (Excerpts from the transcript of a video presentation)

Obama Quietly Handing Over Billions of Dollars to the UN in the Name of Global Warming
Over the past decade, I have been leading the charge in Washington to make sure the global warming hoax is exposed. A big part of that effort has been putting the spotlight on what takes place at the UN�s annual global warming conferences. While I have been unable to travel to the last few conferences, I have counted on groups like CFACT to provide �on the ground� reports. This year�s UN conference is in Doha, Qatar and I�m pleased that Lord Christopher Monckton is there working with his partners, including CFACT Executive Director Craig Rucker and Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com. I�m certainly looking forward to the release of Climate Depot�s new report that debunks the alarmists� extreme weather claims.

I said that the United States Senate would never ratify the Kyoto treaty or pass cap-and-trade. I was right, and now even the liberal media is admitting that these conferences are pointless. As Der Spiegel put it, the conference in Doha is �turning into a farce.� The UK Guardian said that �Doha is a byword for stalemate and failure� and the New York Times reported that after the failure of the Rio+20 conference held in June, �more and more people may be ignoring these global confabs.�

Three years ago, President Obama helped create a United Nations Green Slush Fund that would redistribute over $100 billion from developed countries to developing countries. While he has been racking up huge deficits and talking up tax increases, the President has already sent billions of American taxpayer dollars to the United Nations � and he�s managed to do it quietly so that no one will notice.

At the global warming conference in Milan, I asked an African delegate who I knew why he had attended and he said, �It has nothing to do with the science; it�s because it�s the biggest party of the year.� It�s time to put an end to these lavish, absurd global warming parties and focus on the real problems that we face.

Speaking truth to power. I feel sorry for the next generation -- they voted this Marxist into office for a second term, I get to enjoy what few years of Social Security are left in the system and they get to pay the butchers bill for the rest of their lives...
