Climate Change - Too Much Money to Ignore!

There are few things politicians love more than spending money on grand projects. So it's no wonder many love apocalyptic climate change predictions. What else but a future global calamity would allow politicians to even think about spending a predicted $150 trillion over the next 30 years? Because that is the price tag a new report by the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) and Boston Consulting Group, came up with to shift the global economy to a low-carbon model. (1, 2)

Based on their track record, progressive climate alarmists should be laughed out of the room. For over 50 years, none of their dire predictions have come true. In the 1970’s they told us a new ice age was on its way. They were totally wrong. We were told acid rain would kill most of the world’s trees. It didn’t. Al Gore predicted ocean level rises of 10, 20, or more feet, yet he and his buddies are still buying homes by the sea? We were told polar bears were going extinct due to a loss of sea ice. The polar bears didn’t however get the memo and their numbers are rather increasing in number.

And instead of going with the clear science, that there has been no warming since the late 1990s, the science is conveniently ignored. Despite all evidence to the contrary, progressive politicians are licking their lips at the prospect of raising taxes and spending $trillions of dollars to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

One of the main reasons they know they can get away with scams like this is most people believe everything so-called experts in the mainstream media tell them. Another is politicians know most people have no idea how much money a $ trillion is, so what’s a hundred of them?

To put this huge amount of money into some kind of number most of us can understand, try this. Imagine you had to spend $150 trillion at $100 million a day. And $100 million a day is still a lot of money. Well, that would take you around 2500 years or so. And these guys want to find and spend $150 trillion in 30 years! You don’t have to be a genius to understand a lot of people are going to get rich. And that’s just one of the reasons progressive politicians don’t care about the science, they don’t care about the fact that “renewable green energy” is not environmentally neutral, that it’s highly unreliable, that it’s far more expensive than cheap, abundant carbon-based energy sources. They don’t care that hundreds of former United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) scientists no longer agree with the reports that they originally wrote and supported. They don’t care that depriving poorer nations of the use of fossil fuels will lead to greater poverty for the billion-plus people around the globe with no access to electricity. No, they don’t care about any of this. All they care about is the big number, $150 trillion, and how much of that they can get their hands on and the control they can exercise once they do.

Future generations will probably look back in amazement at the stupidity of climate change alarmism and the politicians that used it to gain control. Because that’s all climate change is good for. It’s a political and financial scam using fear and pseudoscience to further progressive and Marxist theology in an attempt to gain global dominance. And it’s working, as progressive leaders in the United States and other nations know very well.
