On Friday’s Fox & Friends, MRC president Brent Bozell appeared to discuss a piece by MRC’s Dan Gainor on the latest global-warming command-and-control blueprint from the United Nations – specifically, their Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). They insist on a massive plan for a “green technological transformation” that would cost an estimated $1.9 trillion a year over the next forty years. As Gainor pointed out, that’s an enormous $76 trillion.
Bozell said this blueprint is not only ridiculously expensive, it’s a one-world socialist power grab of the kind that makes Americans wonder why they're sending their tax dollars to the UN. But he also pointed out that nobody in our national media – print or broadcast – has managed to report on this.

In fact, Martin Nesirky, press secretary for UN secretary-general Ban-Ki Moon, held a press conference on Tuesday and mentioned the "Green" report, but not one reporter asked about it.
Meanwhile, the UN is urging President Obama to attend a global warming conference in June 2012 that will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1992 Rio Summit. Politico reported that the UN expects America to put on its can-do hat to fight the allegedly approaching climate disaster:
“The United States of America is a country that people around the world admire for its can-do attitude,” Sha Zukang, a Chinese diplomat and the top U.N. official connected with the Rio summit, said last week during a visit to the National Press Club in Washington. “Here, people believe that no problem is too big for human ingenuity to solve. The world has never needed that ingenuity more than it does today. The world needs your leadership.”
