Deniers: Global warming is a plot for world domination

He wants to rule the world, not cool the world. In an otherwise robotic speech at a July 7 forum in London, Al Gore let slip two words that reveal his nefarious plans, according to some, for world domination:
The level of awareness and concern among populations has not crossed the threshold where political leaders feel that they must change. The only way politicians will act is if awareness raises to a level to make them feel that it’s a necessity…. It is the awareness itself that will drive the change, and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”
Those two words, global governance, unattached from all the insulating prattle that surround them, have been echoing around the climate-change denial blogs, like this one. And the climate-change deniers, ever vigilant, are quick to note that Gore is not alone in his quest for world domination. At the close of the G8 summit, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper (and you thought he was a conservative) eerily uttered the same two-word phrase in reference to financial oversight:
All of these national systems of national regulation have to be fixed but there also has to be international coordination…. It does not detract from national sovereignty. Nation states are clearly going to exercise their rights to regulate their financial system. But in a globalized economy, we are going to have to take global responsibility. There is going to have to be some semblance of global governance on these questions.”
That quote boggles the conservative mind, because as Marc Morano (climate-change denier and former staffer for Sen. James Inhofe) well remembers, Stephen Harper is the very chap who called the Kyoto Protocol a “socialist scheme” in 2007. (In 2000, French President Jacques Chirac hailed Kyoto as “the first component of an authentic global governance.”) But since 2007 Stephen Harper’s brain has been replaced with the world-domination-craving brain of a global warming alarmist (read all about it in the Oil & Gas Inquirer), which is probably why, taking no further chances with world leaders, the oil industry quickly brainwashed President Obama, according to some.
Lest we flee these worldly troubles by seeking sanctuary in the lofty embrace of the Church, the conspirators appear to have penetrated the Vatican as well. In his June Encyclical letter, Pope Benedict XVI uttered all manner of green propaganda about God creating nature as the setting for our lives, etc., and called upon humanity to be, get this, “undivided”:
In an increasingly globalized society, the common good and the effort to obtain it cannot fail to assume the dimensions of the whole human family, that is to say, the community of peoples and nations, in such a way as to shape the earthly city in unity and peace, rendering it to some degree an anticipation and a prefiguration of the undivided city of God…. It is likewise incumbent upon the competent authorities to make every effort to ensure that the economic and social costs of using up shared environmental resources are recognized with transparency and fully borne by those who incur them, not by other peoples or future generations: the protection of the environment, of resources and of the climate obliges all international leaders to act jointly and to show a readiness to work in good faith, respecting the law and promoting solidarity with the weakest regions of the planet.
What a very long-winded way to say “global governance.”
Now, a dictionary or thesaurus might come in handy here, because a reasonable person might surmise that “global governance” is really just a synonym for cooperation between nations, as Harper’s full quote seems to suggest. But the Right knows better. “It is what it is,” they might say: another way of saying “world government” or what we used to call the “New World Order.” In their view, global governance can only lead to a global carbon tax (here’s proof from Ralph Nader, who is apparently in this motley cabal alongside Al Gore, Stephen Harper, Jacques Chirac, and the Pope) followed by singular control of all the world’s armies!
