By Anthony Gregory Will Grigg writes: If the human race is spared the horrors of a UN-supervised global eco-dictatorship, we may have Communist China to thank. The agreement created at the recent UN Copenhagen Summit on climate change fell far short of the world body's ambitions. The chief obstacle was China's refusal to permit violations of its national sovereignty by the actions of international monitors who would enforce an accord restricting emissions of so-called greenhouse gasses. Amazingly, while China was defending the principle of national independence, the government in Washington was promoting proposals for invasive international monitoring in the service of an unaccountable global regime. After China refused to support severe restrictions on carbon emissions, President Obama suggested that Washington would be aiding the UN's "eco-spying" efforts to enforce the less ambitious version that was approved in Copenhagen. The ironies of this situation are practically indigestible: A nominally Communist country is defending national independence and the modern industrial economy against a totalitarian proposal supported by Washington.
