Lord Monckton tries to convince Australia not to adopt a disastrous carbon cap-and-trade system. It would be wise for American politicians to heed the advice, but neither Obama nor McCain is inclined to do so. Australia is moving headlong into policies that are destroying its economy. Maurice Strong's grand plan to destroy Western Civilization to save the world is working. If our scientifically ignorant leaders succeed in implementing the cap-and-trade scheme in the US, Strong will have succeeded.
