    ..........A prominent theme throughout Sunstein's 39-page paper, entitled "Climate Change Justice," maintains U.S. wealth should be redistributed to poorer nations. He uses terms such as "distributive justice" several times. The paper was written with fellow attorney Eric A. Posner

    "It is even possible that desirable redistribution is more likely to occur through climate change policy than otherwise, or to be accomplished more effectively through climate policy than through direct foreign aid," wrote Sunstein.

    He posited: "We agree that if the United States does spend a great deal on emissions reductions as part of an international agreement, and if the agreement does give particular help to disadvantaged people, considerations of distributive justice support its action, even if better redistributive mechanisms are imaginable.

    "If the United States agrees to participate in a climate change agreement on terms that are not in the nation's interest, but that help the world as a whole, there would be no reason for complaint, certainly if such participation is more helpful to poor nations than conventional foreign-aid alternatives," he wrote.

    Sunstein maintains: "If we care about social welfare, we should approve of a situation in which a wealthy nation is willing to engage in a degree of self-sacrifice when the world benefits more than that nation loses."

    Basically he claims that if we become a third world country then the third world countries would be prosperous. What the poor idiot doesn't realize is that if we become poor there will be no one left to prop up the third world countries.

    Nononononononono....what you don't understand is that we should be 'SLAVES' to the rest of the world and give our hard earned money to the less fortunate. remember, what you make is mine.....in the other world.

    Is there any doubt that "global warming" was always a big con job?

    Nope. It's all about money. Specifically the transfer of American wealth.

    Always has been.
