Actually losing sovereignty to a non-continental power is scary.
care to explain? im not very politically aware
The global warming crisis could be levied as a way to create a type of global regulatory comity the US would have to answer to even though it is outside our boarders. It would be a loss of US sovereignty and no longer a government “of the people”.
Essentially it is being used to push for a world government.
There are undoubtedly people pushing for this. This doesn’t change that fact that it’s a near-fictional boogieman. There will never be a “world government” in our lifetimes. (Unless WWIII comes around).
Global warming exists. Finally just about everyone agrees (even most of the crazies on this site). The question is “what should we do about it (if anything)?” [/quote]
No, probably not. But there may be international regulatory committees with authority over our own government.
Also, there is still serious debate about the forecast for the future global temperature.

“International regulatory committees with authority over our own gov”? No, that won’t happen. A boogieman. The EU can’t even agree on shit, how are they going to make us do anything? An international body with teeth? come on.
“Serious debate” about the degree of change, not that there is change. There are A LOT of good questions about what exactly global warming is or to what extent the world is “warming”. But thank god no one is debating its existence any longer (save some loons who probably also think Obama is a Kenyan born Indonesian citizen).
