They say this so-called Copenhagen “Convention on Climate Change” is not primarily about climate.

They say it’s about weakening western nations by forcing signatories to take orders from unelected “technical panels” regarding their economic, environmental and energy policies — also handing over $60-plus billion of “reparation debt”, plus ongoing levies forever, to governments of developing nations.

“Developing” nations which include China and India — despite their space rockets and nuclear weapons.

The Copenhagen “treaty” has already been written in draft form, dated 15 September 2009 – much like the 1960s Second Vatican Council, where the world’s bishops gathered to discuss the Church’s future, only to be confronted with un-Catholic documents (drafted by “experts”) which had somehow become the Council’s agenda.

What could one do to stop this Copenhagen apology-fest transferring astronomical sorry-moneys to a bunch of mostly corrupt governments?

Check the internet. People suggest “write to your government senator” etc.

But why ask governments to promote justice? Unfortunately we have the governments we deserve. They won’t do it.

If you feel like writing to somebody, write to your bishop.

The world’s one organisation based on a non-greed philosophy is the Catholic Church. Yes, there are things wrong with the Church, but that is not the point. The point is that only God can save us.

 “It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes,” says the Bible — not presidents, not senators, not prime ministers.

Don’t ask your bishop to dabble in climate-change politics. Ask him to revive the doctrine that the Church is the one way to God and that all must turn to the Catholic Sacraments — for starters, going to confession, shall we say twice per month — and aiming at perfection in our lives. Why not? Didn’t Our Lord say, “Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect”?

Then we might start treating the environment as something belonging to God — to be respected for supernatural reasons.

This 21^st century has so far been a backward century, arguably even more so than the 20^th. We must return to a spiritually-based culture — more spiritual than ever before.
