I can't find that article we were discussing this on---Earth Summit and Agenda 21. I'll stick it here, out of order.

Environmental Issues

In December of 1970 The Environmental Protection Agency began operating. In 1992 alone EPA regulations cost taxpayers over $130 billion (over $1000 per family per year).

An international Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro in June of 1992. This event, sponsored by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, was the largest event of its kind in history. One hundred sixty heads of state, including George Bush, attended this event which some are calling the launching pad for a quantum leap into the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr and the New Age."

The continuing emphasis on environmental problems such as acid rain and depletion of the ozone layer may be part of the long-range strategy to prepare the people of the globe to accept a universal government.
