The Obama/UN group must be inspired by GOP/Fox News word adviser Frank Luntz, who for some reason told a far left climate group that Republicans really believed in global warming, you just have to use the right words with them, and they'll go without food, even send you unused food stamps. The UK monarchy's financial survival is dependent on the success of the global warming industry.

2/21/11, "Green economy needs 2% of every nation's income, says UN," UK Guardian, Fiona Harvey
"The United Nations will call on Monday for 2% of worldwide income to be invested in the green economy, a move it says would boost jobs and economic growth.
The call is expected to be matched by statements of support for low-carbon investment from heads of state
- including President Barack Obama of the US
and Hu Jintao of China, and several chiefs of multinational companies.
An investment of 2% of global GDP would more than pay for itself in the form of millions of new jobs, the development of new industries, health benefits from cleaner air, energy efficiency savings and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,
- the UN is expected to say.
These findings are also backed up by a report to be published today by the German government, which warns that Europe will suffer continued low growth rates
- unless investment in green projects is increased.
Raising the level of ambition in the EU's climate targets would increase European GDP by up to $842bn, a 6% rise, and create
- up to 6m additional jobs across member states.
The world stands at a critical point in terms of low-carbon investment,
- according to the UN.
While India has a national action plan expected to stimulate
- $1tn of investment in the next decade,
and China - already the biggest producer of wind power and solar panels - is pushing ahead with a five-year plan for a "clean revolution",
- other economies are wavering.
In the US, investment in renewable energy has stalled, and an HSBC analysis found that Republican plans currently before Congress would more than halve federal spending on low-carbon projects,
- including high-speed rail,
carbon regulation and contributions to
- international climate funds.
Plans put forward by Obama, by contrast, provide for a 20% increase in climate and clean energy funding above 2010 levels,
- paid for by the repeal of $4bn in fossil fuel subsidies and research.
Nick Robins, head of climate change at HSBC, said: "We expect tough negotiations to close this gulf in
- budgetary priorities between the president and Congress...
Although we do not expect all the proposed cuts to materialise, key climate initiatives
- look set to be curbed."
In the European Union, politicians, green campaigners and businesses are at loggerheads over whether to adopt more ambitious climate targets. Several member states, including the UK, want to toughen the current goal of cutting emissions by 20% by 2020 to a cut of 30% by the same date, arguing that a more stringent target will create new jobs and
- allow the EU to keep up with China in the race
- to dominate the green economy. *
Their case was strongly boosted by a confidential European Commission analysis, seen by the Guardian, showing that if existing policies are followed through, the EU will comfortably exceed its current target, with a fall in emissions of about 25% by 2020.
The German environment ministry's report, also seen by the Guardian, added to this case, concluding that the current 20% target "has become too weak to mobilise innovations". Sticking with it, the authors say, "is the equivalent of digging deeper while still being stuck in a hole", while the 30% target is not only achievable but
- "economically beneficial".
In the UK, a group of leading businesses will unite today to urge George Osborne, the chancellor, to include measures to stimulate low-carbon development in his March Budget. Peter Young, chairman of the Aldersgate Group, said: "The chancellor has promised a budget for growth but we believe this must be a budget for green growth. The UK needs an explicit strategy to take advantage of
- the global shift to a green economy,
driving jobs and exports. Cuts alone will not deliver a competitive economy.""

So-called GOP consultant Frank Luntz gave advice to his global warming client group, Environmental Defense on how to get Republicans to buy into global warming taxes. He even told them most Republicans believe in global warming (catastrophic carbon endangerment). This is likely not true, but worse is Luntz' glibness about a thing that doesn't exist except to punish middle class Americans. Luntz said you can sell it if you use the right words. His presentation is also sponsored by News Corp., per its title page. From the summation page, Jan. 2010:
- "it’s not what you say
- it’s what people hear"

Neither the WWF supported Aldersgate Group, the German government, the EU, nor any of its commissions, have been elected by American voters. Those entities are not accountable to us, nor we to them, for so much as a paper clip. We don't even have monarchies here. Obama is not a monarch. ed.
