Will signing the Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty strip the US of it's sovereignty?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the world is coming to an end. Ask most Christians about a one world government and they will start shaking in their boots thinking about the end times. Most, however, will end up comforting themselves by rationalizing that the possibility of this happening is very slim and if it were to be attempted, we, as American citizens would rise up and stop it before it got very far.

Well apparently in December, President Obama plans on traveling to Copenhagen to sign a treaty which supposedly aims to help change the environment on a global level. This treaty's goal is to put a body together, sited in the treaty as a new government body of the U.N., which will be able to govern every country that signs it as far as tax, economics and environment, are concerned.

No problem, you may say, "Who would sign that!?" Well, the third world countries will all sign it because the treaty states that all of us bigger countries will have to pay the other members in the treaty who produce the lowest emissions because we are destroying their atmosphere with our CO2 output. In fact, there really hasn't been a show of much, if any, resistance by any country to this bill. Think, have you heard anything about it in the news?

They haven't been talking about it in the news because they are trying to hide the contents of the treaty. In fact, the bill has already been drafted and is going to be signed in December 2009. The Wall Street Journal published an article on the concern for our freedom being lost with the signing of this treaty because of the fact that we wouldn't be able to get out of the treaty in the future because in this kind of treaty, all the other countries must agree to let you out.

With the U.S. being the leading CO2 emitter, we are forced to pay the most out for our role in "destroying the atmosphere," it is unlikely we will be let out. Also, this treaty will always take precedence over our very own constitution because of the nature of the treaty and the duty we will then have to the U.N.

"To be sure, countries that sign international treaties always cede powers to a U.N. body responsible for implementing treaty obligations. But the difference is that this treaty appears to have been subject to unusual attempts to conceal its convoluted contents. And apart from the difficulty of trying to decipher the U.N. verbiage, there are plenty of draft clauses described as "alternatives" and "options" that should raise the ire of free and democratic countries concerned about preserving their sovereignty."
