Finally there are some people talking cents (pun intended) about the climate. This is the information we need, what people should be talking about, how are we going to invest our dollars and reap a return on the money? How are we going to provide for a better future given what we know? There’s nothing we can do to stop normal climate changes, but we can mitigate the effects. I say we listen to the people who have the brains and the training.
Show me the plan that does not require a major hit on the US taxpayer, our security and our standard of living, and I’ll show you a plan that will work for everyone; not just the bureaucrats & politicians who want to prosper at our expense.
The course of nature itself ended the last ice age – hence why we should listen to economists who develop ways to get a positive return on dollars invested regarding climate change. As noted in the article if we continue investing our money the way we are we come out behind, but if we invest properly we not only make money but have a better impact on our lives.
This article is not about hype – it’s about economics.
The UN is nothing but a bunch of Communists and other dictators not usually known for their affinity for free markets. If you want the US to take economic (or any kind of) advice from the UN, you are not working in the best interests of your country.
The UN – being made up of over 200 countries in the world, many of them free market and not run by dictators (including the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, South Korea, etc) – works for the betterment of its members as a whole, not any one member in particular.
And anybody who does not take the advice of experts into consideration when developing policy and strategy is an idiot and not working in the best interest of their country. Flatly rejecting a way of turning predictable effects of climate change into profit is just plain stupid. These are Nobel-winning economists, not some high school students with a class project.
Just because you live in the US does not mean the rest of the world doesn’t know its head from its arse. If we can better invest our dollars I’d like to know how.
Go ahead lastbat, you first. Do you want the address to the UN headquarters in NY so you can donate 5% of your pay? So, let me get the math right. You say if we invest 800 billion into a false reality, we will be saving money since it will cost us 2.4 trillion 15 years from now to fix a false reality. Yeah, that makes sense. I think I will keep my 800 billion
What these guys are coming up with is a 100-year plan costing $800B – that’s $8B/year average for those without a calculator.
Or about 2.5 months of the Iraq war if the US were to fund everything the conference is talking about.
When you look at it a 262.5% return on your money is a good day by anyone’s standards. And they are talking about such things as economic development, healthcare and the environment.
Granted the industrial countries will pay for much more of this and probably see fewer direct benefits than developing nations, but the indirect benefits will be reaped by all.
And I’m sure there’s some money to be made in this for those that simply want to scream “communism!” and reject everything outright. You can’t turn $800B into $2.1T without generating some of it in cash.

More Gorebull warming bs. This is just another avenue to start a global tax on all of us.
Oh no, the sky is falling. What crap. Wake up people before you find yourself in the Apple commercial.
The Reds are now green, is all.
So, when is someone finally going to answer my question? Then again, I wouldn’t want any Algore disciples to hurt their brains by thinking too much.
