Let's talk about it????
Well known petroleum industry lobbyist.

Carbon credits are a bad idea and have failed everywhere they've been tried. They can generate a revenue stream which is why they are one of the first things governments opt for. Getting out of the UN wouldn't affect them one way or the other.

Ok, I wont post a bunch of links here,,cause you guys can look it up. The UN has had all sorts of conflicts of interest, and failures in leadership. I won't go in that "Oil For Food" program they had that was supposed to help Iraqi citizens. Instead of ppl getting food, medicine and humanitarian aid, a bunch of thugs got richer. As it is now, the UN needs to go back to the drawing board!
