FOX: UN to propose planetary regulations of water, food

[Patricia M. McBride]

My thought every time I read something about the UN like this, is how and what authority they have to think they should be put in charge of anything.  Were it not for the money we provide for their support, they would wither and die (which is what should happen as they have grown too big for the pants and long ago forgot thier role).  The UN is now an organization of tyrants and dictators primarily and that they would think anyone would follow thier lead, except perhaps the Obamas of the world, is pure lunacy.  We need to stop funding these folks period and they need to find another place to call home!  They long ago outstayed their welcome in the United States.................but this is my opinion, so please share yours.

An environmental report issued by an agency of the United Nations last month has some critics sounding the alarm, saying it is a clarion call for "global governance" over how the Earth is managed.

The report, “21 Issues for the 21st Century,” from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Foresight Process, is the culmination of a two-year deliberative process involving 22 core scientists. It is expected to receive considerable attention in the run-up to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will be held in Rio, Brazil, in June.

The scientists who wrote the report say it focuses on identifying emerging issues in the global environment, and that it is not about mandating solutions.

But its critics see an agenda lurking in its 60 pages, which call for a complete overhaul of how the world's food and water are created and distributed -- something the report says is “urgently needed” for the human race to keep feeding and hydrating itself safely.

“This is more utopianism, pie-in-the-sky pleading for ‘global governance,’ including what they acknowledge as ‘novel governance arrangements,’ including, ‘alliances between environmentalist and other civil society groups,’” charged Chris Horner, author of Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed, and a senior fellow for energy and environment at the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) in Washington, D.C.
