Are United Nations conferences mere talkfests? gab sessions? debating societies? Or do they really influence U.S. policy? What are their goals and plans? Should we be concerned? You will find the answers in a tightly written booklet called The Birth of World Government by a scholar who has been covering the UN for years and reading all their tiresome tomes. He documents how treaties are used to create the legal structure for an emerging world government that will control how we live, what use we make of our property, how much energy we may use, and how we set the thermostats in our homes. Coffman shows how the Clinton Administration morphed a voluntary UN treaty into law and used Executive Orders to implement treaties that were never ratified by our Senate. Coffman tracks the UN documents that set forth plans to use environmental concerns as the mechanism to promote global control over U.S. property, resources, and human behavior. He shows how junk science is used as a club to browbeat Americans into going along with globalist plans. Coffman explains the continuing mischief of the UN Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Coffman describes Agenda 21, a non-binding agreement signed by President George Bush I, which was also adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. It is a 40-chapter manifesto to reorganize the world around eco-socialist principles. Supposedly not enforceable in itself, Agenda 21 was nevertheless implemented by President Clinton through his Executive Orders creating the American Heritage Rivers and Clean Water initiatives. Coffman explains the far-reaching influence of Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development, which was muscled into U.S. law without approval of Congress or knowledge of the American people and still is creating mischief. Another emanation of the Earth Summit was the Wildlands Project, which seeks to convert half the land area of our 48 contiguous states into wilderness from which humans would be barred or severely restricted. Coffman deserves the credit for persuading the Senate in 1994 to kill the dangerous UN Convention on Biological Diversity, which had been signed by Bill Clinton in 1993. A vaguely-written, supposedly innocuous 20-page treaty produced by the 1992 Earth Summit, Coffman showed that the treaty's Article 25 would lock us into a 1,044-page report called The Global Biodiversity Assessment. That document, written by the pseudo-scientific organization called the World Resources Institute, was based on a pantheistic world view that deifies nature and sets forth a world order in which man is no more valuable or deserving of space than animals and plants. It was based on the now-discredited overpopulation myth and openly seeks to reduce us to "an agricultural world in which most human beings are peasants." The Birth of World Government is a veritable textbook on what the over-funded UN bureaucrats are planning for America's future. They use a whole vocabulary of newly-defined words such as biodiversity, global governance, biospheres, global commons, ecosystem management, earth charter, and civil society. After you read Coffman's book, you will better understand such recent events as the U.S.-NATO war against Yugoslavia, the raging fires in our west in 2000, the California brownouts in 2001, and the current alleged "reforms" of the United Nations.

It produced the Framework Convention on Climate Change, signed by President George Bush I and ratified by the Senate in 1992, which set the goal that we should reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. That treaty was supposed to be voluntary, but we now see how the globalists are trying to make it mandatory through the Kyoto Protocol, which would require the United States to reduce our emissions to 7 percent below our 1990 levels.
