ORIGINAL POST:

The Wall Street Journal has published an editorial blasting the globalist mafia of the United Nations for trying to impose a global carbon tax through one of its agencies, a tax that would raise prices for everyone and pump billions into the UN budget.  The tax would be on ships carrying goods and raise costs by about 10%.  The tax would be imposed through the International Maritime Agency, a UN agency.  It would be the first time the UN tried to directly impose a tax, and that body is meeting this week in London.

President Trump has threatened to slap sanctions on any country that goes along with this power and money grabbing scheme

The opening sentence of the editorial shows how much the UN is out of touch with real people: "Voters are showing their opposition to the net-zero climate agenda whenever they get the chance."  This proposal is a travesty that needs to be stopped.

This is an attack on the sovereignty of our own country and other nations.

Here is some real science from a parade of top scientists who debunk the UN's CO2 climate theory, a British TV documentary broadcast nationally on Channel 4 entitled "The Great Global Warming Swindle":

If they try to slam this ridiculous UN climate tax on American shipping, we ought to declare all employees of that UN agency responsible to be Persona Non Grata in our country and bar their entry. We should close all of their offices in the United States and seize their assets that are in this country to reimburse our shipping for this disgusting extortion. We should give NOT ONE RED CENT to the corrupt lefties at the UN. If we are providing any security for the UN building, it should be withdrawn.

Trump should pull the US out of this rogue UN agency, and we should cut off our funding to the UN and ALL its organizations. We should also ban travel by employees of the International Maritime Agency to the US.

"Voters are showing their opposition to the net-zero climate agenda whenever they get the chance."
People are waking up to the fact that the climate agenda is a SCAM! Also that the carbon they want to eliminate is us.
